I need to find some good instrument cables , without breaking the bank. I've always liked Spectra-Flex, but I'm open to some suggestions. I'm not a big fan of Monster cables though . Any good recommendations out there ? It would be greatly appreciated. |

Their cables aren't any better than much cheaper ones and their business practices stink. |

| | | | I like the Rapco 'S' Series cables. Most stores don't keep that model in stock, but any Rapco dealer will special order them for you. |

They're also pretty durable, and most importantly (or at least most relative to the thread), cost $6-$7 (if you're in the states)

I know you asked for "low-priced", but it's really not worth the frustration of dealing with cheap cables with crummy lifespans. Do yourself a favor, you won't regret it.
Butch's cords are medium priced, but top quality.
