Members mvaarning Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 I used one - I think it was the 15ft one. My feet kept getting tangled into the cable, but that might have something to do with the cable being coily rather than it being straight. In terms of sound it was fine - I did not notice anything in particular in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzface71 Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 They only last for a few months. They are around $11 new. Save your $ and get a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the Dodo Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thinnest insulation/core wire I have seen in a cable, breaks really fast and looks cheap. It gets dirty very fast and the jacks are of poor quality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Psyre Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 Bullet cables are awesome! I would say go with one of those, they are a little pricier, but they last! After my got all sorts of beer and gunk on it I cleaned it with water and a wee bit of soap, essentially I straightened it out to do so, but when I was done I just wrapped it tightly around a bar from a mic stand and followed it's natural tendency/coil pattern and it coiled back up perfectly.

Members HP Hovercraft Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^^ I use a Bullet as well. Haven't had it very long, so no comment on durability. Sounds nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have the vox one that was cheapish. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ming Chow Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Skip this cable. Went through 2 of them. After a couple months, bad bad bad bad static, even if it moved a mm. I do like how it rolls off some treble. If I'm using a bright amp and a single coil guitar, I might run it from board to amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 I've got it. It's not noisy or anything but does kill high end and adds mids, noticeably. I keep it as a spare at home, don't gig with it or use it with the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Luis_Morais Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 I had one of those Fender coily cables, it was a cool cable, but didn't last very long, its not that great quality and put my off coily cables really. just went back to my whirlwinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
