[By the by:
the distance between the low-E ball-end anchoring at the vibrato tailpiece and its tuning post on a Fender/Squier VI is circa 35.625" (maximum winding length for replacement strings), which means the low E in the set is necessarily shorter than that.
For the record (I assume you mean to try the set on a different platform), the ball-to-nut distance on the VI is 34" (minimum length).

I'm posting the info here to the possible benefit of future forum-searchers, and so that I can easily retrieve it later.]

I went to my beloved '14 VM Bass VI and made measurements to add to the BVI and BVI string database...

--The only tapered strings are the low E and A. Measured three sets of Kalium 102 and the original Fender (D'addario) strings. They have a minimum of 35 1/8" (35.125") and a maximum of 35 3/16" (35.1875) from the leading edge of the ball to the taper that falls between the nut and tuner post.
--Leading edge of the ball/trailing edge of the tailpiece to the nut is 34 1/16" (34.0625").
--Leading edge of the ball/trailing edge of the tailpiece to the center of the low E tuner post is 35 7/8" (35.875").

Hope this helps!

thank you. i guess they won't fit a mikro 5, then - it's only got 32 1/2".

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but do you need 32.5 for the Micro? Or would a 31" taper suffice?

Unless you have resolved / are resigned to EADGC tuning, you could try the TEB 5 L set (45-65-85-105-130) from the 30 Series by Turkish manufacturer Pitbull Strings:

One USA reviewer bought it specifically for their Ibanez MiKro 5 and says they prefer the Pitbull shortie fiver set to Ibanez's own (IEBS5CMK).
