Your Favorite Cable

[GuitarEvan07]

Hey guys, whats your favorite cable? I am looking for a really nice cable bout 12 feet long and 60-70$. What would you suggest besides a monster rock?

[microdmitry]

Bulk Canare cable + Switchcraft or Neutrik plugs. Six bucks for the cable, another six or eight for the plugs.

Klotz Cables. Better than any cable I previously had and cheaper than Monster or Planet Waves.

Jodavi ZZYZX Snap Jacks.

+1 with microdmitry on making your own.

When I'm swamped with work and don't have time to order the cable and plugs, I use Horizon HBGS instrument cables. Mr. Vai used these in his rig for years and was a Horizon endorsee at one time. The spec's are similar to Canare or Mogami - it's center conductor is 20GA. and the braid has a 95% covering. They use Switchcraft or Neutrik plugs, covered with colored heatshrink. The 15' will set you back $13.99 at M.F.

Who do you order Canare through, Micro?
Cheapest i've found so far is about $0.77/ Ft., unless I want to buy 656 feet at $0.66 / Ft.

I've had good luck with the heavier gauge (0.255) George L's cable and standard soldered Switchcraft 1.4" plugs.

order your cable through Redco Audio. Great folks to deal with.

I use George L's for shorties and Planet Waves for long ones. Work perfect!

Check out www.hopperpedals.com They build them to your specs with several options. They should be a little less than you were willing to spend as well. The service I got was pretty fast, and I'm happy with the cables I got.

same here. before, i had monsters and a few others short on me left and right it seemed like when i was gigging. Ive had the same planet waves cables set for shows and practice for about 3 years now and running strong.

I try to go wireless as often as possible...

When not possible, any braided cable will do.

Besides Monster Rock? Anything.

I've been meaning to place an order through Blue Jeans Cable, simply because I was so impressed by their open letter to Monster. They don't have regular 1/4" guitar cables on their site yet, but they can be ordered as a custom and they're pretty reasonable.
