Just got my Bayou Cables :P

Just got them in the mail, and plugged them in. You really can tell the difference. They sound sooooo good, it's cleared up my tone by such a noticeable difference, I really was surprised.
I also got a Jazz Bass wiring harness, but have not had the chance to try that yet.
I recommend these cables to anyone, just expect to wait quite long.

Kudos to Butch for a great product, he's like an affordable Fodera of the cable world

They are most excellent cables. A plus one from me over here.

I honestly couldn't tell the difference until I got my new Eden set up, but now I truly can.

Not sure if something changed, but I ordered a few cables Saturday and they shipped today. Sounds like Butch may be a little less underwater now in terms of turnaround, which is a good thing

Nope. I placed an order beginning of February and still haven't got mine. He makes great cables but the long wait times are a real bear. I'm glad I have other cables to use in the meantime.

I ordered several cables a couple years ago. Got 'em within 10 days. All the positive buzz here on TB must be paying off for Butch...

I ordered some cables about a year ago and they came within 2 weeks.

Bayou is a one man operation, so the wait time is understandable to me. imo, Butch makes the best cables for a fair price. the quality is top notch and Butch's customer service is second to none. not even my teenage son has been able to destroy the Bayou cables I bought for him three years ago.

I know he's a one man operation and that he does quality work. I've ordered from him before. At least with cables, you can run to the local music store and pick up a $10 cheapy until your nice ones come in.

With respect to Butch, what could make his cables any better or worse than someone elses? Doesn't everyone use Canare or Belden, or some other decent cable with the same Neutrik or Switchcraft ends? I found several guys on ebay selling canare/neutrik stuff for totally fair prices. Got them in days. Not dissing Bruce, but just asking why his Canare cable would be better. It is nice to have a bunch of places making quality custom cables now. The internet rocks for that stuff. I have had several exact length and plug ends made and it is so cool to have exactly what you want for not that much dough.

I don't know what makes Bayou cables better, if anything at all, but they seem to last longer and hold up better than other cables. I don't think it's all in my mind but who knows, maybe it is.

Butch is cool because he stocks orange cable.

No but seriously, the GH plugs are quite nice.

I'm still willing to pay more for orange cable.
