What roundwound B string sounds most like a TI jazz round or acousticore?

Sign in to disble this ad
I converted both of my Turner five string fretless basses to 34" which I an Very happy with.

One has LaBella black nylon flats EADGC which is perfect.
The other has the acousticores. DEADG. This is my main bass.
The reason the first string is D is that because acousticore strings have such low tension, the acousticore B string is just too muddy at 34".

I thought of using a TI jazzround but on the TI site, it says the tension is slightly lower that the acousticores.

Anyway, just wanting recommendation for a roundwound B string that would sound closest to the TI's and would work well for 34".

Thanks
