    Sounds very cool, looking forward to trying them. By the way, did you catch that awesome Stingray with binding! Maybe a hint of what NAMM holds. Got my camera batteries charged!

    That's what I've been waiting to hear.

    I may not be able to go out and buy a new bass as often as I like, but I sure as heck go through a lot of strings. And what better way to support this company than by using their "bread and butter" product.

    Thanks EB Co, I'll be looking for these in your retail channel.

    I'd love to see a head-to-head comparison with a standard Slinky set - same bass, same rig, same settings. I know you can't experience the feel this way, but I'd love the opportunity to hear the differences!

    Looking forward to trying these out. Though the thought of my Bongo sounding any better kind of scares me.

    I would imagine that eventually it would be posted HERE: Ernie Ball | Tone Universe

    Maybe a dumb question, as I don't really know all that much about the string making process, but will these be available in flats?

    Definitely going to try some of these....on my 4s first then work up to the 5s. Brilliant idea guys. What I love about EB strings is that the cost is good, and they out perform some of the really expensive boutique strings. Love Slinkys me!
