Ernie Ball M-Steel Strings
“Ultra high output strings”
Wound strings are comprised of a “super cobalt” alloy around a Maraging Steel hex core
Specially tempered for fatigue resistance
New wrap design around the ball on the plain strings reduces slipping, breaking, and stays in tune better.
“Loudest most expressive strings ever created. Provides increased output, frequency response, and strength”
Comes in all the standard Ernie Ball sizes
Retail seems to be $13 per pack...ouch

Holds microphones flush to the cab for close mic setups
Plastic cup design holds the mic, run the cable through the bottom
Nylon strap sticks to the back of your cab using velcro
Mic is in the same spot every time
