In honor of Halloween, Monster. Plus, they work well.

Homemade. Switchcraft 280 ends, and "ProCo" cable, both from Parts Express. I'll try the Neutrik ends if my present cables ever wear out.

I get a lifetime warranty, with free 24/7 on-site replacement service.

Planet Waves. They are expensive, but with a lifetime warranty, you never have to buy another cable again.

Clever.
I steer toward Livewires for my basses and Planet Waves and Rapcos for my guitars.

I have two 19 year old Belden cables I bought from a local music store (The Trading Musician). Still work beautifully. I use them constantly.

I also have a spectraflex i like even if it is a bit stiff. I also have got a core one coil cable that is quite beefy. Maybe even a little too heavy but I love it.

I use all Monster for everything. They're pricey, but I think they make a difference.

My cables are all Live Wires. Inexpensive, gets the job done.

Speaker cable is a 12 gauge homemade with correct Speakon settings for my SVT4s mono output.

I'm playing through a Livewire instrument cable because it was the cheapest one I could get at the last instrument store that had some "flex" protection or whatnot on the end/cable joint. The cables that go straight into a metal sleeve seem to kink and get damaged (signal wise at least) right at the end of the plug going into my instrument, so I have started to avoid them.

Mine are Bayou Cables 20 footers. I've got three of them... back in the day it was one to pedalboard, one from pedalboard to amp, and one backup just in case.

Nowadays, only one gets used with two backups. Fine by me.
