Nylon core strings

Other than the Acousticore , is there any other strings with a nylon core for piezos?
I'm not "hot" to the Bronze part of the Tomastik , I really don't like the sound of bronze strings.

I know about the nylon coating , I use LaBella "Black" on my fretless but am looking for a nylon core on a new piezo only bass I just finished.

I have used La Bella ABN30 strings on a 4 string defretted Takamine. The sound was beautiful, totally different from any other string, very warm and acoustic, except that the first string was much weaker than the others.

The label said Custom made set, brass wound on nylon, 046 to 102. I bought them from a local dealer.

Fender makes a set of nylon core strings, not to be confused with their really big gauge 9120 vinyl wrapped. I do not remember the exact model number, but have seen them on the www.juststrings.com and www.musicianfriend.com sites.
I tried them once on a fretless acoustic bass guiitar I once owned, but found them not to my taste. You may like them.
