Shopping for new cables

[ELVIS]

I'm telling you, make your own!

Monster Cables are assembled in CHINA!

My cables are assembled at my DESK!

Can't you pussies do anything yourselves ??

Ah hang on !!
You have active pickups ? That makes sense then. Non active pickups put out fuck all current.

Not anymore. All Duncans and Dimarzios these days...
Just makin' an analogy...

And ELVIS, while the Planet Waves cable I made at my desk works just fine, I like Monsters. Don't knock 'em 'til you try them.

I ordered a new PA system from Carvin and ordered a lot of cables including instrument cables. I never have had a problem with the connectors coming loose or hum. For me what has been the weak link in cables is the connector going intermitant or the wires breaking off. I had constant problems with the L connectors on some Ernie Ball cables I had. The connectors Carvin uses seem to avoid these problems. I never had a cable go bad that I bought from them.

Yeah but you have to have the roll of coax cable blessed by a shaman and use gold plated Neutrik ends. Then have sex with a virgin on top of the finished cable for it to be any good.

The best cables that you can buy are ones that you make yourself.
I made all the cables for my pedalboard and my entire setup.

If you don't want to go that route.. get Lavacable.

I also have a monster cable, I hear people talking shit about them in the audio forums I go to.. but they are sturdy and sound good to me.

Any reply I give on cables is gonna be long winded and boring to most, so I'll just go on the point of Monsters that, having owned a half dozen, the cores almost always shrink leaving air gaps between the shield wrap going microphonic (noise inducing rattles heard audibly thru the amp when you turn up or play live) and every, single one of 'em I have had the great displeasure to have had to decrimp, unsolder, recrimp and resolder the stupid things.

I will never own a Monster shielded cord again.

Also, I have just returned a pile of Hosa snakes to Guitar Center that had life warranty and they exchanged no reciept-no prob.

That was a relief!

I make my own like Elvis mostly. I get my 16-2 speaker wire at Home Depot.

Also cool are the George L's solderless ones you can make yourself...only problem with those is the screw-cap on the connector tends to loosen over time...no big deal, just re-clamp it and you're fine...I have two of those running my channel switchers on my amp.

For those who burn themselves with a soldering iron I can reccomend Dimarzio cables too. Never had a problem with one and for shits and grins I bought me a Yngwie signature because our money isn't going to be worth shit so spend it on cables while you still can.
