just threw on a pair of slinky cobalts. They feel little different but sound really really good I think I like them. snappier and brighter.
 
I bought a bunch if sets when they first came out. I went back to regular Slinky's afterwards. I just like the feel more
 
By all means continue discussion, I'm just moving this thread to the string section where it belongs (and easier to find for anybody's future reference).
 
day 2 with the Cobalts. They definitely have higher output and really have a really nice feel to them. they seem to have a little bit more finger drag on the lower strings but the sound that comes out of these is really really nice.definitely more punch and snap to them.
 
I tried some, but couldn't get used to their feel on my fingers. They had a higher output indeed, but too bright.
I say they are very good strings just not for everybody.
 
Just purchased a set of Cobalts, broke the G and the D string bringing them up to tension, 30 year veteran, Never had this kind of problem. Been using EB's for decades. Has there been any problems reported with these strings. I replaced the G string and D string with EB Slinky's and those were brought up to tension without a problem. Don't know what to think. Disappointed for the extra money these cost. They sound great on my 5 string, Maybe I got a defective set?
 
I would say so. If you contact EBMM customer service, they can help you out- I'll sure they'll want to know about it.
