There are two types of strings, I think: good ones and bad ones. My experience tells me that Ernie Ball only make good ones. Believe me, I’ve been sent quite a few bad ones from competitors. Rusty strings, bad windings on the ball ends, dull, kinked… you name it. Most unfortunate for those competitors whom shall remain nameless.
Back to Ernie Ball. They’re good ones. Ernie Ball do a variety of great alloys ranging from the classic Super Slinky’s through to the Cobalts, M-Steels and now the virtually indestructible Paradigms. I have gathered all of the aforementioned and given myself (and us) a little taste test for this video. Speaking of videos, it’s very hard to sonically convey a significant string-type difference through the medium of KZfaq, hence the barrage of verbal descriptions. But it was fun, a learning experience for me, and I hope it’s at least a little enlightening for you.

I didnt find this very useful. By the time you got to the 2nd set, I had forgotten what the 1st set sounded like, etc. I think you should use one pup, one riff and then cut together shots all 4 sets, one right after the other, with no caking, in between. And then cycle thru the other pup, other riffs, etc. Any time youre doing a comparison, it should be bam bam bam, no talking in between. Hope that's constructive. Thanks for all the demos :)

I agree. What I do for these comparison videos where it's more than 2 strings or the guy decided to jam for a while is either scroll back and forth from my phone wearing headphones or if I'm really looking to try a new string I listen to them individually and rate them immediately after for overall tone on a scale from 1-5 putting most emphasis on how they sound clean. Then I give a brief description whether they sound bright or warm and write down what the reviewers say about how they feel. If you're already a fan of each of these strings and want a quick side by side for a direct comparison my methods don't really help. In this case I personally rated the Super Slinky and the Paradigm the highest. When I look at the price, I chose the Super Slinky. I don't really care about how durable they claim to be. I've tried the Cobalts and don't care for the feel. I would be interested to try the M-Steels on my tele or strat but I watched this specific video for a Les Paul that has plenty of warmth and bottom end. My Les Paul sounds better with bright strings so I get a really noticeable chime from the bridge pickup and bell from the neck.

In mixing, where critical listening distinctions are made, the same processor will absolutely be a/b'ed directly by quickly switching back and forth on the same program material. Listening for one minute and then setting up another processor and then listening for a minute, and then switching again... absolutely useless. Why can't guitarists figure this out?

@bureizu19 5 жыл бұрын

I partly agree, but since the video claims this is a Taste Test, it's viewer's work for using this as for right test material. Thankfully Brett added icons of each string, it is fairly easy to compare back and forth by oneself. Besides, which element and string each person want to compare is different from the other. If you want to compare the tone of the strings, you must normalize volume for fair comparison but if the output you must not. Similarly, the first impression/quick relative switching method doesn't tell the whole, even misleading. I think it's impossible to satisfy all the necessary conditions for strict testing in a single video.

The Super Slinky's just have that classic airy high end and throaty midrange tone we've all grown to love. The Cobalts surprised me... kinda of like a hi-fi sounding slinky. Pretty cool. To me the M Steels sounded a bit harsh and 1 dimensional, like they were pre-compressed. The Paradigms were muddy and dark. This is all based on the clean tones, when you add drive the differences become negligible. 1. SS and Cobalts tied 2. M Steels 3. Paradigms Funny how their most expensive string set sounds the worst.

The Smitty and the Vase is a heavenly match....luv it...! I wonder how many guitarists could pick the different string types in a blind fold test??? Don't believe I could

@BrettKingman 7 жыл бұрын

If you knew what to look for physically - the grainy-feeling and springiness of the Cobalts for instance - I believe you could. Also, you could probably tell the sonic difference between, say, old-school Slinkys and the M-Steels because there is a real volume difference. The Paradigms and the standard Slinkys don't feel that different so would be hard to tell (blindfolded), but the Paradigms will still sound and feel great in weeks whereas the Slinky's probably not so much.

I have been trying all sorts of brands for 4 decades...! Ernie Ball was my regular choice but they did oxydize too fast and broke too often. Moved to Dean Markleys, until they began to ship rusty string packages. Changed to GHS boomers: very good but still not the right guage I was looking for. Now I use 2 sets for several years that give me complete satisfaction: GHS Gilmore Blue 10-48 on Fender type scale (25,5), they bend easy, stay in tune, sound bright, don't rust quick and don't break even with powerful Whammy bar sollicitation. On Gibson-type scale (24,65) I use Duesenbergs 10-50. These strings are incredible: believe it or not, I have the original set still mounted on my Doozy Senior 52 for... 5 YEARS ! Yesssss. OK: I don't use it everyday, but still going strong, clear and bright. I mounted a set on my i35LC and man: what a difference ! Kills anything else up to now. These are my 2¢... \m/

Been using ernie ball almost exclusively for 13 years and I've tried all 4 of those strings. There are definite tonal and frequency response differences between them, but I'm not sure an average player will notice much. The feel between them however is immediately noticeable. My overall take is: m-steels feel sticky and break way to easy, broke 1 within 4 days of a string change. The paradigms sounded generally warmer, were fairly slick but just felt weird and oddly enough broke fairly easily. I've broken 2 different strings within 2 weeks of a change. The regular slinkys are just classic. Sound great, feel great. I can generally get about a month of fairly heavy playing before I break one. But for me the way to go are the cobalts. They're slick, springy and will last months even with heavy every day playing. They sound almost new even after a couple sweaty gigs. Only ever broke strings that were several months old.

@filiusluciferi 3 жыл бұрын

For an amateur, I'd stick with the regular Slinky set, for two reasons: price and utility. Firstly, regular Slinky sets are on average $4.99 US, whereas Cobalts are $9.99, M-Steels are $12.99, and Paradigms are $14.99. Secondly, unless you're recording or gigging and need the extra output from the Cobalts or M-Steels, they're unnecessary. A third point that I forgot to mention is that apparently Cobalts and M-Steels are a harder alloy, and will wear normal frets more quickly with prolonged use. Unless your guitar(s) have stainless steel frets, that's a concern. Lastly, I'll leave you with this; in my opinion, Paradigms sound little different to me than the regular set. In my experience, they get that dead-ass tone that all coated strings eventually get, even if it is the thinnest on the market. I currently have a set of 9-42 Paradigms on my '95 Fender Deluxe Plus Strat, and the bass strings have that telltale *thunk* that coated strings inevitably develop. The tone unfortunately doesn't last as long as the strings.
