Bass cables

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm interested to find out what leads you all use and recommend for live shows. I've been looking into coil cables, specifically the Bullet coil cables. I've always used standard Whirlwinds up till now but looking to expand and upgrade

Hi.

I tend to roll my own, but regardless of the "make" the ends say Neutrik .

I have found very little difference between cable brands, the really crappy ones seem to have disappeared.

Regards
Sam

The Bullet coil cables are the best coil cables out there! So, if they're in your budget... Get 'm!

Just found out Trail of Dead use Bullet cables so I'm pretty much sold
I have some planet waves as well - I use them at the moment, but that signal cut-out switch has caught me out a few times! haha
I am gonna need a decent cable to run from my effects board to cab, and inbetween the pedals. Any suggestions so I don't lose the quality I'm saving with the Bullet?!

But, yeah... That's the stuff!

+1 for Monster. I've got one with over 20 years on it. Hundreds of gigs and God knows how many miles. Stepped on, spilled on, yanked on, rolled up wrong, twisted, dropped, and over-heated.

Buy it and forget it.
