Customer reviews about Ernie Ball 2715 – Thomann United Arab Emirates

N

Clear sound with a smooth and buttery feeling

Ninuzzo 29.02.2020

I won't be using any other strings: these ones strike the right balance between clear sound, ease of bending and sliding, all in all the best electric guitar strings I've ever fitted on my guitars.

The thick bottom gauge gives a very welcome extra oomph to your sound. Try them and you'll be hooked!

Beefy tone, perfect for shorter scales

Greaser777 11.07.2019

I use these on a Squier Mustang which is a shortscale that came with 9's. it felt like spaghetti. Now my guitar plays great. The 3 bass strings allow me to strum powerful beefy power chords and the lighter treble strings still allow me to bend. I was really impressed by the tone of the cobalt vs nickel wound. I can really feel the difference. My guitar nearly sounds like an acoustic when unplugged, and I can feel the increased output when I use the amp or when I plug it in the DAW for recordings.

Great for drop tuning!

Anonymous 15.12.2015

I've used these strings for years now on my guitars that I alternate between E standard and dropped D. They sound great and feel great. A bit different, not necessarily in a negative way, from your regular slinkies or D'addarios. Very smooth. Only con I have experienced so far is that I have to take really good care of them or they will start to feel old quite fast. Luckily I take good care of my strings, so these are great!

Cobalt strings

Niklas7661 20.01.2014

Being a user of the regular Ernie ball skinny top Heavy bottom I wanted to try these to compare them.

I really liked the feel of the strings, and throughout the time I used them they maintained that new-string feeling which was a great plus.

The sound was somewhat darker, in a good way without loosing clarity.

If these strings had the same price as regular Ernie ball-strings I would probably use them more often.

LP

Pleasantly different

Lesley Paulson 14.04.2021

Ernie Ball strings are always great in my opinion. These are no exception. Very good definition with each note. Bit pricier than regular strings, but these are worth it if that is the sound you are going for.

Like em'.. Using these on all my guitars

Anonymous 18.11.2014

Previously used Ernie Ball Power Slinkys. These are little bit better.
Seems to last a long time. Difference in sound is more noticeable the cleaner your amp channel is. Fresh strings from packet sound awesome. Feels good. Bends good. Keeps tune good. If I would change strings often I think fresh Power slinkys would be better choice as they are quite the same but cheaper. If got the cash or not changing strings so often that cost matters, I would buy and use these. If cobalt strings get cheaper, then these are #1 for sure.

i

nice tone, short lifetime

io74 09.12.2019

Tried them on my Les Paul Standard.
They actually do sound great, having extremely well balanced tension, they bend great, but they...
(1) do not produce a visibly bigger output with Probuckers (never tried a db meter however) // yet I loved their tone
(2) are a bit harsh to the touch (matter of liking of course, but they are deffinitely not for sliding riffs)
(3) corroded in less than 2 weeks. Never thought my hands were so acid.
Conclusion: reverted to nickel plated.
Recommendation: if you want to try something different give them a chance.

a little over slinkies

ai_alex 27.05.2020

I used all sorts of Slinkies long time, decided to try Cobalt. They stay in tune right away, feel a little softer on bends, and ring a little longer. Overall more treble I'd say. Difference is more about feel and stability of sound, especially on 15+ fret solos, notes are more clean\soft.

I'll use Cobalts for my lead guitar.

Not something special

Alexey N. 30.11.2014

These strings sound good, but do they increase clarity and output, as advertised? No. They don't. In fact, they sound just like regular other brands nickel wound strings. And I mean exactly the same.
They don't loose tone over time, which is good, but they have one problem... I wiped them clean after every playing, but wounded strings would still collect a lot of dirt underneath them and on the sides. It looks aesthetically bad.
I also dislike gauges of 4th and 5th strings: the tension is overkill on them in both standard and drop tunings.
And the price, of course. Considering that these strings don't offer anything exceptional, I'd recommend to buy nickel wounded strings by other brands: you'll get the same quality in most cases!

666 out of 10

Emilio M. Rizzi 08.01.2014

The COBALT series of Ernie Ball are THE ULTIMATE strings!! Its a special alloy which reacts magnetically better with guitar pickups. The tone is unlike any other string. So so so clear its incredible!! Every transient you play will be heard like night and day and you can say goodbye to muddyness. Love Love Love ... ill never go back to another string... unless Ernie Ball manages to 'invent' yet another alloy which sounds even better
