Is the Cobalt ethically sourced? where can more information regarding manufacturing be found?

Yuke in with the answer of the year. cobalt is a mineral. minerals are sourced with strip mining. strip mining deliberately defaces the environment so id say no. its not ethically sourced. thousands of cobalts died to make these strings

How is this different from 'ernie ball cobalt xxxxx slinky bass set' series ?

The regular Ernie Ball Cobalt is a roundwound string. This is a flatwound string. While it exhibits the characteristics of other flats, less string noise, smooth slides, etc., with the treble cranked it can slap and pop. These flats tend to have more mids than other flats and are so bright for flats that I have to insert a bridge mute in order to get a James Jamerson type of sound. Hope this helps.

Are you supposed to cut these before installing?

Cutting Bass strings seems to be a highly discussed topic, but it is not rocket science, it is actually common sense. Since Bass strings have a solid core and a wrap wire, urban legend says that by cutting the strings, the inner core will somehow detach from the wrap. Yes, you should cut the strings, and here is how is done: Thread the string through the bridge and bring it up to your headstock with no slack, hold the string against the tuning post that corresponds to that string. From that post, measure two tuning posts further away and bend the string about 90 degrees on that point. Then, cut the string half an inch beyond that bend (not too close to the bend), make sure to use a cutter able to easily snap clean that string in one go. By doing so, you will not have too many or too few windings around the tuning post (and no, your string’s inner core will not detach).
