EB Titanium Coated Electric Strings

[rickjohns]

BP, didn't mean any ill will at all. I love your products, and just posted my results using the new product. I stated in the post I am not trying to discourage anyone from trying them. I in no way meant to bash EB. I apologize sincerely if you took it that way. I sent the stiffness a pm, I do not have the strings anymore, but I will try a new set, I'm going to pick them up today at GC, string my Axis with them and use them. If the same thing happens, I will send them in for inspection. If it was a manufacturing goof, or just a fluke, or it was just me, I would love to do my part in helping to fix it, if indeed it was a problem with the product. Again BP, my apologies.

[rickjohns]

Thank you very much BP! That is very generous of you. I will keep you guys in the loop on the next set.

I take it that these new titanium coated wonders are not available for bass then?

[Big Poppa]

not yet we are working on them for the Anaheim NAMM 2009 in Jan

I am very interested in these strings. My set of choice are Regular Slinkies. I have read that the tone of the titanium-cotaed strings is great. Is it different than Regular Slinkies? What's the diffrerence?

[TheStiffness]

Butch -- there is VERY little(if any) tone difference. We wanted the new coated electric Slinky strings to have the same bite as non-coated Slinky strings. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how great the new Titanium-Reinforced Coated-Electric Slinky (say that 5 times fast) strings sound and feel.

Go. Buy. Play. Be merry.

I have been using them on my Redrise JP for the past 2-1/2 weeks and I love them! I am still using the same set, and my finger oils haven't turned any of them black yet. Typically any brand of strings strings lasts 5 hours or less for me before they literally discolor and become rough to the touch, but I have close to 30 hours on this set and they are still shiny and smooth.

I have not noticed any difference in sound between the regular and coated strings.

Maybe this weekend I will restring the Dargie with them

Pete,

I hear ya, the set I put on my Morse is great, no visible erosion and they feel nice after have being on for awhile.

Excellent Job EBMM

Good idea, Pete. Double the delight of the Dargie.

I have been using the Super Slinky version of these on my Silhouette Special for about a month, and I really like them. They sound great. To me, it is comparable to a brand new set of RPS strings even after several playings.

[SoulDead]

I Will Never Use A Different Set Of Strings Again Ever!!!!

Say Good Bye To Elixer's

[firebrand]

This is great. I have been playing Cleartones on my electric. Elixir electrics always felt BLAH to me. Can't wait to get a set. It's been too long since my guitars have had Balls.

I'm new to Ernie Ball strings. I did some research and found that Hybrid Slinky(9-46) is what i require. But im wondering i should just buy the Nickel Wound strings or the new Titanium Coated ones. Okay, so, there will be no difference in the tone but the strings last longer?

Also, im not someone who changes strings regularly. I got my Epiphone Les Paul Custom guitar last year and never had to change the stock strings which are pretty decent. And i'd also like to know if the Titanium strings are really worth the extra cash.. they cost almost 3 times as much as nickel wound strings..
