Strings for 33" scale bass

I've a 33" scale bass that is strung B-G and I find that generally when restringing the bass the B string's taper happens on the post (as they are usually made for 34/35" scale basses), which caused a string to snap at that point the 1st time I did a string change. Has anyone any recommendations for strings to try that might avoid this or is there any B-G string sets available for 33" scale basses? I usually use .45-.130 strings.
Thanks.
