I might be the first person to say that I don't like the Cobalts.

Lol. I just never heard anything that made me think they're worth $5 more than what I pay for the Dunlop strings.
No, there's a big thread bashing them - on the EB forum

I love them on my Charvel so far but it's too early to tell if I'll stick with them.

Re: EB Cobalts
I didn't think they were worth the asking price and they didn't last me any longer than any other type of plain strings. They were bright and loud but I ended up having to screw with my eq to get it back to where it was, ergo, differences were minimized.

They are designed for Super Slinky users who would like more slinkiness from the wound strings... they aren't meant to be a game changer just a bit of an improvement on the Slinky design.

I really like them. The difference is subtle, but noticeable enough, for me to prefer them. However, when it's all said and done, I wouldn't be horribly upset, if I had to use the regular Super Slinky strings. They've been my mainstay, for over 20 years.

Re: EB Cobalts
I gotta try a set of them.
I have never used any Eb strings at all. I have always d' addarios but I think I am going to do some experimenting.

Re: EB Cobalts
I understand that they're brighter and clearer, but it wasn't such a vast improvement over nickel plated strings that I could justify the extra $5.00 on them. And with the way my car sucks down gas, $5.00 is a lot.

Re: EB Cobalts
I just tried them out. I like them but I didn't notice much of a difference. The feel is different, but it's not good enough to justify $10 when I can get 3 packs of regular slinkies for the same amount.
