Members StevoHuff Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 I just ordered 2 of the Planet Waves Pedalboard kits. They look pretty promising and I've heard they hold up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wednesdaysworse Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 GuyaGuyYes, Bullet coiled cord is very heavy, and well made.It has never been heavy enough to pull itself out of the guitar jack, though. Big plus, of course, is it has never been pulled out by me or anyone else on a crowded stage by accident, either. Something that has happened to me with straight cords. Also, since it's already "coiled", it doesn't "coil" up on itself. My long Lava cables would sometimes do that. I like Lava for short stuff.

I like Lava for short stuff. thanks.i've been using the same coiled cable for a couple of years (forgot the brand) that's well-made but it's my only one so i should probably get another. mine's pretty light which i like, but i may check out the Bullets. i like the coileds for the same reason--no coiling. straight braided cables are the worst for that. plus i don't jump around while playing so doesn't get in the way like it may for some.

Members Midrange Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 I use the Planet Waves cable kit. It works out pretty well. but the cable isn't too flexible, and the plugs are kinda big, compared to George L's. I'll keep using 'em, but if the time comes to buy new cables, I'm gonna get George L's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wednesdaysworse Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 GuyaGuyExcellent point! Why jump around when you could be laying back and playing?wednesdaysworse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members astr0z0mb1e2k7 Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 I agree with Midrange concerning the Planet Waves kit. I went with George L's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wacopacco Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 i heard the Dimarzio cables are really good. I have one of them on my board and it's nice. The rest are hand-soldered pro-co's i believe. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LavaMan Posted January 1, 2007 Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 There's a a lot of great cables for pedal boards out there. GL's are very common, but a lot folks use Canare GS-6, Mogami 2524 and there's a bunch of stuff even better than that I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. LavaMan, can you tell me what the criteria were for the category "Tonal Clarity and Definition" in your test here: http://www.lavacable.com/Suitability_Guide.htm was it entirely subjective or were there hi-tech instruments brought out to test treble loss and such? just curious.
