Low Tension Strings (Innovation)

[mikejdexter]

I prefer low tension strings for jazz playing.
Has anybody tried the following strings by: 'Innovation':
a)'Rockabilly'
b)'Honey Jazz'
c)'Super Silver'
d)'Silver Slaps'
e)'Golden Slaps'
f)'Psycho Slaps'
Any good for Jazz style? Tuning? Would any of the sets give me that 1940's / 50's style sound?
Your views most welcome.

My pleasure.
Please note there are two "black" sets in the Innovation catalog.
The "Rock-a-Billy" set, and the "Ultra Black" set:

The "Rock-a-Billy" set has lower tension than the "Ultra Black" set.
Both sets are wrapped with flat black nylon tape.

Hope this helps!
