John Petrucci Play Tests The New Ernie Ball Cobalt Electric Guitar Strings

[BOOM3RInc]

Loving the echo... it's like jesus is trying to tell us something. "BUY THEM STRINGS!"

[TheTwiddlyBits]

it sounds like he's reading from a telepromter

[SoundWavesSurfer]

They r so hig output that the sound is distorting the recording... Sombody did not check out the levels...

[rodwyr]

Of course, JP could probably string up his guitars with dental floss and it would still sing...

[goodygoody23]

Was that part in the beginning Trial of Tears?

[furlong08857]

@goodygoody23 I think MJB

[Simen0303]

I think im about to change my strings..

[SmokeAndMirrors2]

conchesumadre... este gueon definitivamente es un Dios

[Jeepjones85]

The red little light on that first amp freaks out every few seconds lol I'll have to try these strings !

[TelecasterLizard]

With more pull from the pickups comes less sustain...just something to consider.

[mitchellakan00b]

@TelecasterLizard they actually have more sustain

[hugo3697]

master!!!!!!!

[Dadoneization]

the mic is clipping, that's a pity.

[BUSHMANJOHN12]

Damn that mic gets destroyed!

[geicowithdagheko1]

sounds kinda dirty

[rhcpjohn444]

@geicowithdagheko1 definitely sounds dirty.

[ThieleM]

shrill shrill shrill.....

[MrUltraworld]

Those guitars are incredible. The Piezo tones are very realistic.

[rockyinahard2]

guess no one thought this.. isn't cobalt radioactive?

[ChaosBurnsWithin]

@rockyinahard2 cobalt 60 (an isotope of cobalt) is indeed radioactive, i dont believe cobalt 59 is, however. but i could be wrong

[IronAndi97]

are they also available for the Electric Bass ????

[smp156]

buttery strings? sounds kind of icky

[kcajk]

whats with his tone?! its so shrill.

[sakredwarrior]

@kcajk I agree, the tone is not there. Where are the mids?

[teebalicious]

WHY IS THAT MAN BEING ATTACKED BY BEES.

[esprh]

@teebalicious ROFL! 

[Norimbulus]

Sound is mostly in your hands, but i would like to try these, when and where can a norwegian dumbfuck get a hold of these?

[LoyalKnightofOrion]

Do they help with sustain also? JP was talking about everything else it helps out with sound and feel wise but what about sustain?

[olipickrockgod]

*JP has to like them. or Ernie Ball won't like him :L

[protooler7]

The person who recorded this did a BAD JOB! It's distorting like mad.

[MyLifeChanger]

sounds like a wasp

[allfu93]

he likes alot of butter.........

[LochnessDigital]

Whoever recorded this should have checked the sound levels before recording...

[aSexyHamburger]

These sound amazing!!

[hellspawn781]

Do you plan on making 7 string sets?

[stroke117]

this strings have a great gain

[SamoIIIX]

how mutch that strings??



[rockashadow777]

@SamoIIIX 10 bucks on musiciansfriend

[shaqdaddy11]

All this buttery talk is making me hungry lol.

[Intorqueo629]

Hopefully if JP likes them, they'll make a few seven string sets.

[StringsByMail]

Would love to get these strings on our lineup - being Petrucci is one of my all time favs, I am disappointed in the audio quality and clipping. Certainly a production error, not John or Ernie Ball!

[EthnHayabusa]

Great playing, but the recording clips like crazy when he plays.

[Petchx]

I'm hoping they do the full range of gauges :) They sound awesome!

[raptor201062l]

when are they available i want some of these

[SolidSnake52649]

@raptor201062l From the looks of things, mid-late February. Musician's Friend has them shipping sometime after 2/20 of this year. This demo was to make hype about their announcement that these strings even existed, which was also made at NAMM this year (just a day or two ago).

[PXNDXN]

I don't know if it's the micing but they sound too fuzzy...

[Oh3AreSicks]

@PXNDXN I think it's clipping from the camera mic or however it's being recorded.

[Buzz61SG]

Anyone know if/when these will come in 11 gauge?

[neichpod]

anoying reverb.... reaaaaaaaaaaaally anoying!

[SjPedro]

7 string version for when? :-)

[ErickGonzalesF]

need 3 sets of these strings!

[ImMrDC]

JP likes them. I'm sold.

[sportsportsport]

@ImMrDC And the marketing ploy of endorsement wins the day!!!!!

[Norimbulus]

@ImMrDC word

[rvx7b1]

Can anything sound wrong in the hands of John? NOT

[cilcannonvryce]

@rvx7b1 - a shakeweight?

[rvx7b1]

@cilcannonvryce It would probably play an arpeggio if hits it against something (?)

[cilcannonvryce]

@rvx7b1 ...hahahahahaha.....I was thinking that is how he got so built....

[Mouhsen]

@rvx7b1 your right, something is wrong with the sound of that demo.

the people at @ernieballinc need to review the video again.

[mr4y]

@rvx7b1 Can the video be filmed in a way that it sounds like shit? YES!
