New EB Cobalt Flats?

[dannster]

They weren't supposed to be released according to EB.

Not really... "Order Now! Expected to ship 07-10-2015"


BSO sent out a big email saying they were leaked and there have been some problems. Seems a bit of a cluster****. He's offered a discount for those of us who've ordered and he's calling everyday to get them as fast as possible. I'm not in a big hurry to get them and the price at BSO is hard to beat.

They were in stock when I ordered them.

Seemingly now unavailable in the UK too... I wonder if the are other EB strings worth trying... I use the electric guitar strings, but never bass.

I'm visiting the US at the moment and bought 2 sets in NY. I hope they're ok when I get them on back home !

What do you mean?

 

[Gorn]

They're real! They're really real!

No one is denying that... They just shipped to one company first and no one else...

It's anti-Californian discrimination.

Isn't GC based in CA?

I got them from musiciansfriend but they're sorta the same company, so who knows. GC has them in stores, but not the 40-95 set.

For those looking I am seeing available stock on the 2813, 2814 and 2816 on eBay now.

Interested/confused as well

I installed the 40-95 set on my SUB Stingray. Very impressive. Like the cobalt rounds, they're not super bright, but rather super growly. Great strings. I like em.

Another couple of gigs under the belt, and still in love with these strings. Mine are mellowing a tad, which is what i want. They are less zingy (especially on the D and G), however they still have tons of growl and bite if i need it.

Just thought i would share.

I switched from the 105 set to the 100 and now I'm really liking them. The 105 set had more tension than I thought they would. They feel somewhere in between Chromes and Sadowsky flats. The tone with a pick is great.

I use the 105 set and the tension feels good to me. I am coming from 100 set of chromes, and these feel less stiff. My band plays down 1/2 step anyways, so i figured the 105 would be perfect for me, and so far they are...

Yea, I can see that if you are tuned down. I'm tuned standard.

I'm waiting for singles so I can do a balanced set.

I've got a set coming for my Ibanez 4005 Prestige bass. Excited to see how these will sound and feel on this bass.
