I bought these for a Warwick bass that I have had trouble getting strings for in the past, they are the right length and I had no trouble getting the low B into the bridge and string saddle. With a bit of adjustment to the bass for the new string type I tried them out and they feel and play brilliantly, a lot smoother than steel strings and much deeper and richer sounding as the bass itself is quite punchy anyways. They seem to keep their "new" tone longer than Ernie Ball and other strings I have tried. I will be staying with these strings in future.
