Ernie Ball Cobalt Strings

[Perfect Stranger]

If you haven't tried these yet, get to the store, grab a pack, and get ready
for a whole new world of playing! It's like nothing you've ever tried before!
OK, OK....so maybe they won't end world hunger....but you will enjoy
playing more. :rockya

It's hard to explain the experience, but it's almost like the strings don't have
a middle core. It's like they are truly strings instead of wire. For wont of a
better word.....they're slinky. Only for real! They sound great...just like all
EB strings......but the playability is what will win you over. You've got to try
it for yourself to understand. Yes, they do cost more, but it's true "you
get what you pay for", and these strings supposedly last longer than
regular strings. I can't swear to that since I've had them less than 24
hours. I can attest to the rest of it above. I can't afford to use them on
every guitar I own, but I will certainly use them on my "go to's". :french

Good to know that it isn't just marketing hype and snake oil.
I've had a pack sitting around for weeks, but I haven't put them on anything. I think the Reverend is due.

I've been following the reports on the Musicman forum and so far all reports are good. Many top pros are converted. Me? I still have 24 sets of conventional strings so it will be awhile before I try any Cobalts.
