Questions about Sandberg Bass Strings

I tried a few Sandberg basses recently at Bass Central, and while the basses were great, I really loved the strings and want to use them on one of my existing basses.

Does anyone know the length of the Sandberg bass strings (I am considering the 40-100 set) before they taper? I want to use them on a 35" scale bass which I string through the body, and usually use a super long string to achieve that.

Also, has anyone that has used these string noticed any significant fret wear since these are stainless strings? My bass has stainless steel frets, but I usually use nickel plated strings.

TIA!

By the way, it is my understanding that Sandberg strings are made by GHS.

The GHS Super Steel light set, 40-58-80-102, are 38" in winding length (ball end to taper/silk).

Thanks. I have also heard that GHS makes Sandberg's strings (but haven't verified this), but that just means GHS makes them to Sandberg's specs, and with all of the various string manufacturing parameters could vary significantly from GHS brand strings.

I'm sorry I missed whatever. I was sick for 6 weeks and just got out of the hospital last week. Lost 18 pounds in that period of time. Went from size 38 pants to 33's in that time. Happy that my stomach doesn't enter a room before I do :0. What did I miss?

A new thread started today by someone asking about Sandberg strings. I recall a few posts by you regarding the subject as you do own a Sandberg bass.
