Members Guiary Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 One that won't twist/tangle up... Well won't twist up all the time. I swear the yorkville braided one that I have is always twisting up. Suggestions??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've been using Planet Waves for quite a while now and they are awesome especially for their price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members openedskittles Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 just get some monsters. garanteed for life, good ends, good insulation. people will come in here telling you all u need is coat hanger, just go ahead and get something that youre only going to ever have to buy once with good quality. about tangling: never had any trouble with mine, but i always unplug after i play so i dont leave it with knots or twists, just loops.

Members Cougar Hunter Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've been using and gigging with the same 18' Whirlwind leader for 13 years. seriously. check them out. they are the most durable, consistent cables I've ever encountered. They aren't quite as bright as monster cables. great sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 my signal is so boosted with midz, as long as I spend 10.00 or moreeverything is A-OK:thu:Besides, the cables I buy have Switchcraft ends, and Belden wire:idea: I've been wondering about Belden wire. What made you decide to go with Belden ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knope Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 dimarzios and pro co's and one of those that NeloAngelo NOT MONSTERS!!!!! they sound good but are unreliable... many cables have lifetime warranty's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phyrexia Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 all the braided/textile covered cables I've had would tangle bad. Of course I walk in circles when I play. Road Hog regulars work well for me. My George L's cables have held together nicely so far too. And Monster is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've been using their wire my whole life,American quality, and very consistant.ProCo sells this. All the ProCo cables use Belden wire ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 What cables do you use for your rack and pedalboard ? a non-strategic combination of Mogami and George L's:thu: The Whirlwind leader always comes out of the guitar though. I find monsters add a certain abrasiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 All the ProCo cables use Belden wire ?I had a Guitar Center branded ProCo cable come apart inside WOT's '65 JTM45 I mean Shea went to unplug the cable from the amp and the freakin' connector stayed in the amp. When I got home I got on the phone with Zepman and ordered up some Core cables and they're so much higher quality it's not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked out their website and they sound like they are pretty sturdy! But I have to ask is there really that much of a noticible difference in sound between these and say the monster cables you mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't crackled or anything in 13 years. same {censored}in' cable.I bought it from a local store for like $11. The guy played with Bill Haley in the early 40's. He's dead now, but he knew his cables up to about 90 y/o.:thu::thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guiary Posted April 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've always found Monsters to have a harsh high end Hmmm Interesting:thu: That could've been a mistake in the workings. Now where can you buy Whirlwinds from?? Also these (I assume) would be an upgrade running from my effects to my effects loop compared to my no name, run of the mill, basic crackhead stolen copper wire?!?

On top of that I had several more break the solder connection at the plug within a couple weeks. I'll never buy one again after relying on them for years.

Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted April 4, 2008 Members Share Posted April 4, 2008 Price has nothing to do with it. One of my cables is a $50 Mogami and that {censored}er twists up worse than any cable I have had in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
