Ernie Ball Cobalt Power Slinkys?

[JoshSmith]

Just purchased these strings, cause I read they had a bright tone which I like. They are also the perfect gauge for me. What are your thoughts? Are they bright?
Thanks!

Also are they coated with something? Like some slimy stuff or something? I think I saw that somewhere just understanding what they feel like also

They are not coated with anything, they just have a very rough feel....which also gives them their bright sound.

I put them between as rougher than DR SS strings, not as rough as Rotosound SS steel strings, and not as rough as Prosteels.

I have these on my MM Sterling. I've tried everything (or so it seems) at least once. I always went back to D'Addarios .110 4 string XL's. That is until I tried the EB Cobalt Power Slinkys. These are the first strings I actually played that blew me away. The first strings I've tried that makes a REAL difference. I told everybody I could about them I was so excited lol. Anyways, if you are thinking of getting these - do it. Worst case scenario you go back to your old set.

FWIW - I use them but not exclusively. I also find them to be high tension strings. Good luck!
