Ernie Ball Cobalt Strings: Anyone try these yet?

[SausageofPower]

I admit it, I'm a consumer whore. I saw these in an ad and I'm curious about how they feel/sound. Anyone give them a shot yet?

[Hellbat]

I plan on trying some soon but to be honest these days I'm usually looking for less output instead of more output hehe.

[Grim]

Probably a huge gimmick, but I'm interested to try if they aren't coated. EBs usually don't thrill me though.

Good friend, client, A dbl neck Cali, I strung up the six string neck up with a set last night, the 12 string neck with a regular set of EB's,
No real tonal difference between the sets of strings, or no difference from the previous set of strings that were on.
A string is just disrupting a magnetic field... The alloy cocktail of the string is just determining how much disruption takes place.

We used them on the news Slash album, he really loves them. I like them too, they seem to sound and feel great. And no, I'm not saying this as part of our endorsement.

Hi Ace! LTNS

I put a set on a mim strat at work and they sounded really good. Seemed to make the strat come to life. I bought a set to put Pb my feankenstien to try out extensively which I plan to do tomorrow.

Not a lot of guys know the peanut butter trick.

I've tried a couple sets...on a Floyd they were a pain to properly intonate.. They feel different but I don't care for the tone..a dark mid sound to my ears.. I'll stay with my Boomers....

[SausageofPower]

Yeah, I grabbed some 9-46 sets to test out (both to see how I like hybrid sets, since I've never tried them before, and because Best Buy had a "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" deal). They're alright, haven't really put them through the paces yet.

I like the feel of them and they seem to have a bit more bite in the tone department.

I put a set of coated DR's on my DK2M w/ JB, don't like. They seem like they've got a blanket on them. I'm done with coated strings

[Richard W]

I was impressed with them, but after about 2 weeks, strings broke on EVERY guitar I put them on. They feel and sound nice, but I'd personally just stick with regular EB's. Try the cobalts out though.

[chuckbat]

Richard W, are you talking about the DR coated? If so, in the past I used to break them on Floyded guitars all the time. Put on a set of EB or D'addario, no problem.
