Question about cables?

[slashdot]

Hello,

 

Is there a difference between bass cables and guitar cables?

 

I assume it has something to do with frequency response?

 

Educate me please

 

Thanks,

There are "bass specific" cables available from Mogami, and Monster... not quite sure if there is actually a difference.

I have not noticed any difference in sound, and have tried both.

Anybody claiming they sell a cable for bass or guitar specifically is trying to take advantage of your ignorance to get more money.

No, there isn't a difference, despite what labels some manufacturers put on their products. Those little electrons don't really care if they're banging around at 200 hz or 2,000.

It all has to do with the pixies... there are bass pixies and there are guitar pixies, and the two really don't get along very well. The main difference is the direction of pixie travel... guitar pixies travel from + to -, bass, the other way around. So if you try to use a bass cable for guitar, you have to plug it in the other end.
