head to cab cables??? - what cables do you suggest?

[seven7seven]

what kind of cable should i buy to connect my amp head to my 4x12??? any links appreciated.

I personally feel that a very high quality cable will serve you well. As much money as you spend on a head/ cab setup, using a cheap $6 speaker cable or (shudder) a guitar cable is utterly insane. A high-end Monster should do the job very well, plus they come with a lifetime warranty (which I've taken them up on manya time). You will notice a big change in sound quality....more lows and better clarity.

2 core flex with the best plugs you can find is what i swear by.....

Monster Cable. The cable could be snapped into eight pieces, and as long as you have both ends, they will honor the warranty.

Cheers,

Yes I use Monster also. The sound is superb. But reliable?? HELL NO!! Buy many backups my friend. Now you might have much better luck with them wiring up a head and cab and such but using one into the guitar jack cannot take much abuse before it disconnects itself. They have recently begun to install shrink-wrap around the outside of the connection but already one of those have gone on me...back to GC!!! (this will be my 6th time replacing this cable)

I read this was the most important cable. *All other cables are insignificant compared to this one. *Don't know if thats true or not, but I bought a good cable with Neutrix ends to be sure :cheesy:

I highly recommend Monster Studio Pro speaker cable. *Thick gage, and great response. *It costs a little more than the competition but is well worth the $$ *Plus Monster has a lifetime guarantee. *Take it right back to Guitar Center and tell them to give ya a new one if it breaks *

no guitar center in my town, how much would one of those monster cables cost 10ft or less??

I couldn't find a Monster cable less than 20 feet. I would buy one if they came in 10 ft., but 20 ft. to go from a head to a cab, no thanks.

[ChrisReedSmith]

They make em. I think their a 3 foot. im not sure what but my friend has one for his Marshall.

[seven7seven]

how much do these cables run for like a 3ft. or 6ft????
