To all the guys involved in developing the Cobalts: Thank you!
I´m playing for 31 years now, never sold a single piece of private gear (please don´t ask about the wharehouse
) , I have a collection of different guitars and amps.
And some know I own a guitar shop and play live very often.
Things in the shop come and go, I´m really not easy to impress because the last 21 years of my shop were a eyeopener how some companies work and "invent" the latest and greatest.
I received the strings last week (hey I ordered more than I received for the shop )and put them on for some gigs at the weekend, didn´t try them with my live rig because I didn´t have it with me when I put them on. I only tried them with my original 65 Super Reverb for 5 minutes to break them in a little.
What I realized was like great smooth feel but not slippery and the snappiness (hey I created a word) in the midrange. Then I had to leave for the gig.
Oh I have to add, I put it on my main guitar for 19years which I have to admit is not the home brand of this site but I know that guitar inside out and I had super slinkys on it for almost that time. But no F or G brand
To make a long story even longer - the gig was fantastic even my sound engineer mentioned the better sound and I didn´t even tell him about the strings. Well I did afterwards ( he´s working for the big names too, so be prepared).
I didn´t rejust my rig settings at the soundcheck and I didn´t have to do it. The gain increase was not subtle it was obvious. And my high gain setting which was boomy sometimes on chords because I like to have a good thick single note sound was tighter and more focused and it was a pleasure to play. Very Good!!!
I will not look back!!! Very good new product and I´ll spread the word...
To who is interested in what my rig is:
Bogner Fish preamp
ENGL Poweramp
Mesa Thiele 1x12 (road ready)
and the usual stomps and 19" F/X (but that´s not important to the true sound)
Now back to work
Mick
P.S.: I previewed my post and I sound like a brownnose
