Just bought a used Double bass , its got Thomastic superflexible strings, only played it for one day and i can tell its too much tension, i need to avoid injuring myself as i haven't played for a few years due to severe rsi issues, does anyone know what the tension is for the Innovation 140SLP Silver Slap Double Bass Strings?

Silver slaps are pretty low tension you'll probably fine with them, although they are considerably fatter than the Thomastiks, so you may need to do some filing on the bridge and nut.

thanks mate, i have listened to them on youtube ant they sound pretty good

Silver slaps are lower tension than Velvet Blues, but there may not be much in it on the G and D (at least from what I remember on my bass).

You might also want to consider Presto Nylonwound Lights.

Do you know which Presto set would be similar in feel to Silver Slaps?
