Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky Electric Bass Strings are designed to deliver increased output and clarity through enhanced interaction with magnetic pickups. The cobalt alloy provides a stronger magnetic response than traditional nickel-based strings, resulting in improved articulation and a wider dynamic range.
These strings produce clear highs, focused mids, and a defined low end, making them well suited for players who want added responsiveness and detail without changing pickups or electronics. The winding design offers a smooth, flexible feel that supports comfortable playability while maintaining consistent tension across the set.
Cobalt Slinky bass strings retain the familiar Slinky feel while offering a distinct tonal character compared to standard nickel wound bass strings. Multiple gauges and configurations are available via the dropdown menu.
String construction: Cobalt alloy wrap on hex-shaped steel core
Intended instrument: Electric bass guitar
