Members opultaM Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've been using them for years and without problem. But my other guitarist just got them and is trying to make them and he can't get a connection. I tried his as well and it seems to be an issue with the cable. It seems like his cable just doesn't fit well into the jacks. My cable works fine with his jacks. Anyone ever had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slight-return Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Is George L just repackaged Belden cable? I used Belden in the 80s (I should say "acquired" because I still have some of em -- the others got lost/borrowed can't say I've had notable failures) and haven't had that problem but even if it is repackaged Belden , the specs may have (probably have?) changed over the past 20+years and it's just one datapoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 i don't understand this problem, should work easily unless the cable is not from george l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonaldDemon Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 He is probably using wire cutters to cut them. You have to use a straight razor (ie, xacto knife) to get a straight, uncrimped cut. I made the same mistake when I first started using them. Never had a problem since. edit: Nevermind, different problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Macdaddy Music Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 Maybe this is glaringly obvious, but is the cable the same size? They make a .155 cable and a .225 cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe, but unless the size difference is not noticeabe by the human eye, but enough of a difference for it not to fit, then that's not the problem. Also, i tried various cutting devices. idunno, maybe it's just a legnth of cable that got warped somehow??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
