[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='964607' date='Sep 22 2010, 04:04 PM']Someone's given me the idea of taking Thomastik spiros F# tuning and dropping them to E to lower the tension. Has anyone done this before and how did it work out for you?[/quote]

It's a standard practice, great way of lowering tension.
Really for slap, the Spiros are going to give you a very harsh and noisy sound, tending to drown out the bass notes themselves.
You'd be better off with something like Innovation Solos, or Jargar Dolces.
There's a youtube clip of me somewhere playing the Innovation Solos tuned down just as you say ....
