Cobalt and Randy...Yeah Baby

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Note to Randy: remove your gum before shooting an interview.

These strings seem very interesting. I might have to take them for a spin.

 

[mtrejo]

Anyone know if the instruments are equipped with cobalt strings at NAMM? That would be rockin to actually give these suckers a try.

 

[strummer]

I think Cobalt strings are mandatory on all green basses. Just make it happen

 

[Big Poppa]

cmon lets understand that we have the guy with the number one tv show in america taking a day of his time DURING shoting. Im not going to critique the binding of a bass that isnt his or try to be his etiquete coach

 

[MattOfSweden]

Wow, will definitely have to try those out!

 

[Movielife]

Randy is basically one of the coolest bass players out there. Wonder what shoes he has on...hope they are leopard print.

That binding is stunning.

Definitely want to try these strings.

Just watched this Randy video again and again, ...and spotted that nut at 1:33 minutes?

What kind of nut is that?
Something new?
What kind of Stigray is that anyway?

 

[Bass Control]

Just placed an order with Guitar Center for two sets for a five-string bass. Can't wait to test these babies out! They sound like they are just what I am looking for in my strings!

 

[strummer]

"I think it'll be difficlult for anyone playing these strings to go back to their old strings..."

I think he's right.

 

[strummer]

I also think I'll start off by trying these on the SR5, since I only have one SR5

 

[lefenton]

BP- when will these darlings be delivered to stores in Canada? I think I will need to throw a set on my roasted ray to teach my fellow canuckleheads some tonal tact. I was pumped about how good the slinkies have been sounding on that beauty but cannot wait for a set of these!! Honestly this is exciting! How long has it been where the only choices have been flats or rounds, Nickle or stainless. I love innovation, thanks for leading the charge EBMM.

I have the same view - but read Bongo for SR5 - I'm hoping to blow a few walls down again hahaha

 

[Sting]

I see musiciansfriend.com has them listed, but I don't see a Cobalt 5 String Power Slinky set. Does it exist? I like the tighter feel and sound of the Power Slinkys.

 

[4play]

Just ordered 3 sets. Unfortunately, they're on backorder.

 

[MK Bass Weed]

Wunderin' if there be a FLATS version

Wunderin' if there be a FLATS version

Didn't see any on the MF site (yet....).

 

[MK Bass Weed]

Can't wait to try them. Thanks BP for more affordable GAS! My wife will even buy me strings if it means it will give me a 'new bass'.

If these things are that cool, think about it, if they ship standard on all Basses going out, how are you not going to get hooked.

 

[phatduckk]

can't wait to try these!

 

[cellkirk74]

If someone would be so kind and send me a hybrid set to germany. MF just won't do that...;-)

 

[Steamthief]

At the moment there are 6 sets... Five 4-String sets and one 5-String set:

4-String:
Power
Regular
Hybrid
Super
Extra

and then the 5-String...
