do a search on Bowden Cable

Or, if you only need a small amount, ask a local electrician if he has a couple of feet of catinary wire he would let you have.

Why not just buy a tailpiece wire?
e.g. [url="http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/wittner-ultra-stainless-steel-double-bass-tailpiece-wire"]http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/wittner-ultra-stainless-steel-double-bass-tailpiece-wire[/url]
Full size version also available, if not from this supplier, then elsewhere.
Wouldn't recommend nylon versions - tend to snap
