Description
Cobalt isn’t just a marketing gimmick here — it genuinely couples with magnetic pickups harder than nickel or stainless, which means your amp and DI see a stronger, punchier signal before any EQ knob gets touched. For a working bassist, that translates to more headroom on stage, a low end that stays felt rather than muddy, and top strings that cut through a dense mix instead of disappearing into it.
- Gauges: .055, .075, .090, .110 — a Power Slinky set built for standard tuning with a bit more tension underfoot
- Wrap wire: patented iron-cobalt alloy, precision wound for consistent output string to string and fret to fret
- Core wire: tin-plated high carbon steel hex core, the backbone that keeps these strings stable under heavy right-hand attack
- Ball ends: machined brass wire rod, cut tight for a solid seat at the bridge every time
Feel-wise, these are noticeably smoother under the fingers than a lot of bright bass sets, so slides and bends don’t fight you mid-set. If your rig depends on the string-to-pickup relationship for its tone — passive basses especially — this is where Cobalt earns its reputation. Grab a set for the gig bag; you’ll want a backup once you hear the difference live.
