I have these strings on several 4 and 5 string basses (American Jazz and Pbass, Peavey to name a few) and have found they enhance the tone and playability on every instrument I put them on. Lows are more pronounced and fuller sounding while your highs and mids are bright and punchy. Even though the gauge is higher than you may be used to, they have the feel and playability of lighter gauge strings with the tone and sustain of a heavier gauge. Perfect for the studio and rock solid in tune on the stage (not to mention they last forever). We have played most of the major venues in the Nashville area and the Cobalts have rocked it out everytime. Review: Great bass strings - I was skeptical that just changing the type of string could brighten up my sound while also scooping low end frequency AND give more overall volume, but I was willing to gamble 40 bucks to see. I'm glad I did. These will make your bass stand out in the mix and really save your amp from working harder than it has to. I'm playing these on an 09 Ibanez sr305 with arched pickups (which sound great on their own). I'm running through a custom 2x10 cabinet with a micro 250 watt head. These strings gave my 210 similar low end oomph as a single 15 but also kept the high end definition. Really happy with these and will be getting them for my other basses. ## Features - String Gauges: 45, 65, 80, 100, 130 - Engineered to maximize output and clarity - Cobalt strings provide an extended dynamic range, incredible harmonic response, increased low end, and crisp, clear highs - Cobalt provides a stronger magnetic relationship between pickups and strings than any other alloy previously available - Cobalt Slinkys are also soft and silky to the touch, making string bending a breeze ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007O39HV4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,785 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #14 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Cobalt | | Brand | Ernie Ball | | Brand Name | Ernie Ball | | Color | Regular (45-130) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 535 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00749699127369 | | Included Components | Ernie Ball Cobalt 5-String Regular Slinky Bass Strings | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | Bass Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.13 kg | | Manufacturer | Ernie Ball Music Man | | Manufacturer Part Number | P02736 | | Material Type | Cobalt | | Model Name | Regular Slinky | | Model Number | P02736 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bass Guitar | | Set Name | Slinky | | Sound Profile | Balanced with Enhanced Low End and Clarity | | String Gauge | 45-130 | | String Material Type | Cobalt | | UPC | 749699127369 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | None. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ernie Ball - **Color:** Regular (45-130) - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String Gauge:** 45-130 - **String Material Type:** Cobalt ## Images ![Cobalt 5-String Regular Slinky Bass Strings, 45-130 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oKFOZU6+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Bass Strings Manufactured *by S***S on November 6, 2012* Let me be clear, I am a tone junky.

Just the right tension and brightness, and longevity. I prefer these over, Fender, GHS, Labella, Dunlop, Pyramid, Rotosound…I’ve tried them all. They work well with headless bass systems too. Used these on my LeH Offset 5 and Ibanez EHB1505 with great results. Once they’re worked in a little, they stay in tune. I recommend these strings ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Bass 5 Slinky Cobalt Electric Bass Strings - 45-130 Gauge - Energizer 9V Batteries, Max Alkaline Power, 3 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1867336-cobalt-5-string-regular-slinky-bass-strings-45-130](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1867336-cobalt-5-string-regular-slinky-bass-strings-45-130) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
