Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Eb strings are wound, spun, threaded differently than the other strings. I normally change my strings every 3 months need it or not, so longevity is never an issue with me.

Strings are a little hard to shred on because of their size, so if your that sort of guitarist, i'd implore you to purchase either the hybrid or the regular. Perfect for thrash metal.



Cons

C shar -snap- and low e goes limp on the fretboard. I am legitimately disappointed in ernie ball for the longevity of these strings.

They might actually be worse than regular slinkys, it's the strangest thing. Just stick with nickel. I love super slinky, but these couldn't make it 2 months.

Quality


They are quality strings, and have a bit of a unique sound to them.


I like the feel of them, and the tunning stability are also a big plus to me.


But i paired the cobalts with the skinny top fat bottom strings .

Price


For the price, i personally don't think you can beat them.

Competitiveness


Played power slinkies for most of that time, tried some beefy slinkies a year ago since i play in drop asharp most of the time ...  Read More


I've been using these strings since they first hit the market.

    I normally dont use ernie ball strings so i have no frame of reference to compare against other flavor of ernie ball strings whether or not the 34cobalt34 series is any better or not than their other offerings
