Default My String Length

Ken,
I measured my bass and it is exactly 35-7/8" from the ball to the tuning peg side of the nut. It is another 2" to the center of the tunning peg at the B string.
The 38" winding length on the Rock Master Medium non-taper core low B is too long for this bass.
I end up with the thick part of the string at the post.
This only occurs on the low B string.
Can you suggested a B string that will work?
Are the taper core strings a little shorter?

Thank you
