Ernie Ball Hybrid Cobalts

[Chienmortbb]

Has anyone had any experience with these? I have just got some and they seem very dark sounding with little of no top. Is that usual?

I have now got my Newtone Platinum Round Cores  but I am loathe to change new strings. Any info about these Cobalt Rounds? Your you experience with them would be appreciated.

Me too — I use the 40 - 60 - 70 - 95 (blue) set on my 3 × Epiphone Vintage Pro + a Gibson non-reverse Thunderbirds

Don't they rust easily?

It does seem that there were some batches that had blemishes on them straight out of the pack. Out of the umpteen sets that I have had, I’ve only ever had one string with a blemish and that was in a free set. Others were not so lucky. I’ve bought 2 sets in the last 12 months, no issues and certainly nothing on the older sets.

Mine look like old solder…
