Ernie BallCobalt 5-String Regular Slinky Bass Strings, 45-130

They sound amazing. Punchy, with tight lows. Top end is bright. My only complaint is that they feel a little sticky compared to other Slinky strings; they are similar to how stainless steel strings feel. I can live with that, given that they sound so good.

Normally, I use the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 45-105 set, And I enjoy using them, however I wanted to Try the cobalt and they sound very bright, crisp, and very punchy especially in my Fender Precision bass. I’m definitely gonna buy these again

The strings cut the fingers and stick in the strings when playing. after a few hours of playing it improves. but the sound out put is great. much louder and more reactive. bit of a twang to it though.

Fantastic tonality, holds up to tuning changes (excellent for drop tunings), longest lasting strings I've gotten for heavy use as far as roundwounds go. Sustained notes don't warble or muddy, even in Drop A tunings. Clean ring out. Comfortable to play. Tone: Full, round, with a nice crunch. Deep lows, warm mids, bright highs. Well balanced. Definitely worth every dollar. Want to bring the thunder without your low end dropping? Fan of drop tunings? Try em.

Officially my favorite strings for my 6-string bass

I LOVE the tone of these strings. If you need the Mike Dirnt sound, this will get you there with most Fender-style bass guitars. I often tell people to try these before they change their pickup. Unfortunately, they are expensive, and the tone lasts about 2 months before the strings are dead like as a doornail. I have switched to Exlier's for longevity but I miss being able to make the Longview tone on command.

I went to buy a replacement set as I had been using EB Cobalts for a while now. I noticed a "used" set posted in original packaging and in good condition, so I thought I could save a few bucks and break-in time. Unfortunately, the "E" was already unraveling and the original buyer returned them and Amazon resold them. Once the outer ribbon starts unraveling they're no good. The original buyer had cut the string, probably before bending it, and it unraveled. Good for the buyer, bad for me. I requested a return and ordered a "new" set. That set came the next day and worked great! Lessons learned, 1) don't buy used strings, 2) bend before cutting or wind the whole string(looks unsightly I know) and 3) buy Amazon as they back their products and mistakes.

I have been running Ernie Ball Slinky strings on all of my electric guitars and basses for years. I am more of a bass player then a six stinger so I started putting these Cobalts on my basses soon after they came out. I am not 100% sure that these strings effected the tone of my bass but they do sound great. I would have to do a blind taste test to between these and the steel Slinkys to know for sure. I do remember thinking that they sounded better/fuller with more sustain when I first put them on but thats been awhile and I have basically gotten used to thier sound as my new norm so I dont feel comfortable commenting on thier specific sound charactistics at this point. But I will say this, they feel better on my fingers then anything else I have ever used. I can only discribe the feel as soft and flexable. I love the feel so much that I will probably never even try another string set. I use the Dunlap String conditioner cleaner  Jim Dunlop 6582 Dunlop Form 65 String Care  on my strings almost every time I play (also a killer product). Having said that the stings seem to hold up for ever. I have never seen or felt any visible corrosion on these strings. I love these strings. Try a set out. I dont think you will be disappointed. They feel great on my fingers. I prefer to buy cheeper strings and change often. For the money these are killer strings.

Sin duda alguna cumplen a la perfeccion lo que prometen, es maravilloso el sonido que proporcionan!

This is my go-to string. I will go back and forth between Ernie Ball Super Slinky (a little brighter) and Slinky Cobalts. I like the Cobalts as I find them more responsive, better all round performance, and they seem to last a little a little longer before some ugly harmonics kick in letting me know when I need to change. A little more expensive from Amazon than other vendors, but I usually get them in the next day or two after ordering. Great product!
