broken monster cable, now what?

beyondhairy · #1 12-29-2006, 01:51 PM

about 6 months ago, while jamming, one of the onlookers was walking by my board and lost his balance on steped right on the jack of the monster cable while it was in a stomp box. so the jack is at an angel now, but its been working fine for the past 6 months, but past couple days, its been acting funny and today it just died on me.

i hear that i could take it into a music store and get it replaced for free? is this true?

That's what the rumor is.

I consider it too much of a hassle to spend the time/gas money to replace a cable free. I do my own repairs, but since you damaged the jack, it'd cost more to replace the jack than gas money. Any Monster dealer should replace it free of charge with a reciept from what I hear. Some will do it without reciept.

Send it back to Monster, they should replace it.

hmm, n o gas money since i take the train, so thats only $4 round trip. still cheaper then a new monster cable heh.

no reciept thoug, but the guitar center has me on file and the things i buy, but i had a friends buy this for me cuz i couldnt make it that day, hmmm, they are nice peoples there but i dont know if they are nice enough to give me a new monster cable for free

itll probably cost like $10 to ship it to monster diirectly to replace. darnit...

from past experiences no receipt necessary

I had one replaced twice at GC. No receipt.

I wish I could return mine for cash....I have the Monster Bass Cable and it's so stiff it's a pain.

That is one of the GOOD things about GC. Just go to your local GC (no reciept needed, IIRC) and ask for an exchange.

I don't get it. How much does the *cable cost?

edit: My bad about the typo.

its a cabel,

probably one of the most expensive brands of cable. and ontop of that, they are advertised to last forever and will be replaced for free if they ever stop working

ALiP BoB · #17 12-30-2006, 10:32 AM

So you can just stomp on them and they will replace it?
