☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted December 23, 2017 G'day fellow axekin out there ... Anyone sporting those Ernie Ball Cobalt Not Even Slinky (strings for playing in drop those not familiar) for drop tuning to A-E-A-D-G-B ? for those Type O negative type depths of chuggington ... How do they go are they the cream and can you tell any difference from the cobalt ring/harmonic? Any limitations to warn a soon to be convert from .008's ? They wobble and fret buzz too much at that depth and I'll be a'gettn' the ole floyd rose restrung soon after fkn it up for a few hours and thinking ya know I could pay a good man to do this in an hour with some appropes ... that deserves it.

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted December 23, 2017 might go B standard too B-E-A-D-F#-B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tøn Posted February 18, 2018 How are you finding them? I recently acquired a relatively alright LTD which I'm going to get restrung/set up properly sometime soon. String selection is doing my head in a bit, I've used the 'slinky top, heavy bottom' set in the past which I did enjoy but these look alright indeed. I could certainly go a bit chunkier, just curious as to any limitations you've found? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadStar Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I havent tried that guage on a 6 string but have used a mates 7 string that had them plus a bass string for the low end. They were a bit hard to bend but they sound awesome with great harmonics. There was still a bit of wobble when tuned down lower than b but nothing to worry about unless your recoding.

Finding them ace .. a little tougher on the bend than my ole 008's but the elasticity to snap back to the note bent from is much faster and quite a niftly little toy in it's self !! so far no limitations other than to make that debend slower it needs a lil "power steering" from the pinky thus can take up a lil time room ahead of your next note shot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tøn Posted February 18, 2018 Awesome, thank you both! That's enough of a recommendation for me... I tend to bend notes unintentionally so that might prove handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
