I believe these new coated strings are the same scale length as all the other mainstream EBMM bass strings.
Looking forward to try them on my basses.

Buy Ernie Ball 3833 Coated Hybrid Slinky Bass Strings | 4 String Sets | Musician's Friend
Not bad for a 4 string set. The 5 string sets are $36.99. Looking forward to them hitting the shelves to avoid shipping.

Has Stings & Things received supply for the UK market? I haven't checked with Pete lately... perhaps you know?

I've had the coated strings (45-130) on Heinz for a couple days, and here are the impressions:
Apart from a slightly different sheen and a slight sense of unstickyness (they feel a little different to the touch, but it's only really noticeable when "fondling" the bass), they feel just like normal strings. They sound like normal strings too, which is a good thing.
Now if they just last they'll be a big hit I'm sure.

I've got a set on my red Bongo. I'm not a roundwound guy, but these are pretty nice.

Finally!!!!
The bass coated strings have finally hit the UK!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ERNIE-BALL-CO...ash=item5634c2e5de&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
There's only 3 more sets available from that seller!
I've just bought a set, now as soon as they arrive I'll let you know how they perform. Problem is now.... on which bass should I try them, the Stingray5 or the Bongo?

That is strange lowmid, this is the first time someone has come up with this issue, so far a lot of forumites had these strings and not experienced this problem,
I remember clearly that BP mentioned that he sent sets of these strings to endoreser artists for them to test and feedback before actually putting them on sale worldwide, the very fact that they are now on sale means the result of the artists test was thumbs up all around.
Can I ask you out of curiosity, if you have inserted the tip of the string inside the peg before winding it around the peg?
Sounds to me like you probably need to discuss this with Customer Service.
Good luck and please report back, I am interested to hear what caused this.
Cheers
