Members Thunderbroom Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 It looks like YFC is going to replace all of our PA cables and Bayou Cables will get the business. I've heard nothing but good things about Butch. I just sent him an email and got an email back within 20 minutes. I'm thinking that we are going to colorcode our cables to make them easier to hook up. Have any of you done something like this? If so, what color scheme did you go with?

Members Thumper Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 I've been in bands where we used colored tape to mark the cables: Red for mains, blue for monitors, and individual colors for each player (green for bass, yellow for guitar #1, orange for guitar #2, etc). It worked for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Cool. I've been really curious about Bayou. Fill us in on the rest of the gory details as they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted May 18, 2006 CMS Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Why not bid the job out, and see what audiopile can do? They seem to be in about the same price category to start with. A cable shootout...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phantasm Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Butch at Bayou Cables is THE MAN. Call his number (it's on his website) and there's a 90% chance he'll pick the phone up. He's always there unless he's got a gig, practice, or he's recording. And, I've been there and seen him do his work. He really pays attention to detail. Butch is also a bass player and he mods the electronics in his own basses to an unbelieveable result! He's got a bass right now with dingwall pickups in it that weighs about 7 lbs. and kicks the snot of just about anything out there right now! It was sort of a project bass that got pieced together and it's awesome. Honestly, the guy can't come recommended highly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T-40 Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Bayou Cables are the {censored}. Butch made the banana clip to 1/4 jack cables for my rig and they are hands down some of the best I've ever owned. He's also top notch about answering e-mails as well. Any time I need custom made cables, it will be Bayou Cables. And thanks to MyBassInYourFace for pointing me in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mudbass Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have both Bayou and cables from Audiopile. I prefer the cables from Audiopile, but you definitely won't be disappointed with Bayou either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the cover material on the cable Audiopile uses a little better. It just seems to handle easier and like the fit between the cable and the jack better. Both the Audiopile cables and Butch's cables are constructed with high quality parts and the workmanship is first rate, but for me it's just a couple of little things that put Audiopile slightly ahead.

Members Estebum Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 My bayou cables are top notch. I've never used Audiophiles though.. actually I haven't used any other cables since I got my order from Butch. Don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members walkerci Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 I get my name printed on the cables too, so there is no question who it belongs to. Of course, it helps that I only use Neutriks on speaker cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SatansEnemy Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 i have two instrument cables and two speaker cables from Bayou. his soldering job is the best i have ever seen. I stepped on one of my cords the other night...put a hell of alot of presure on the cord...i weigh 280...and i had pretty much jumped on it...it bent the 1/4 plug... and the solder didnt even think about coming loose. so i bent the plug back where it was supposed to be...and it still works like new. i will never buy cables from anywhere else. you wont get better soldering from any other company.

Members el_duderino676 Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 Butch is a great guy to deal with. I've never had any cables of his, but I've ordered parts from him and the whole process was painless. He handled the business very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
