Cobalt: a more direct response to your pickups
With the Slinky Cobalt, Ernie Ball offers a set of electric guitar strings designed for guitarists seeking more presence and definition. Thanks to cobalt's magnetic induction properties, these strings interact strongly with pickups, resulting in a stronger signal, clearer mids, and richer harmonics. The result: every nuance of vibrato, palm-mute, or picking stands out with more depth, whether you play clean tones, crunch, or modern distortions.

I only played on Ernie and I wanted to test this hybrid game, I am really happy with it.
but having tried 2 games, the high E string is rather fragile in the long run which is a shame because I like to play on old strings, otherwise perfect!Automatically translated
