Metalflex cables

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi there,
I'm new here and I've been playing bass for a few years. Not very good thus far but I may be one day. I've come here to get some advice, learn some scales and that sort of thing.
Anyway, does anyone one know where I can get metaflex cables in the UK, hopefully cheap and quite long, at least 6m.

Cheers,
Jono

Why this brand? There is no magic in cables and a good Belden, Mogami or Canare core and some good plugs will last you a lifetime. There must be someone like Bayou Cables in the UK that custom manufactures.

If you're in UK, get some Klotz LaGrange for cheap from www.studiospares.com. When I was in France I always bought my cables & plugs from them. Klotz kicks Canare & Mogami off.

Hi there, thanks for replying. It's not that brand that I want specifically, but that type of metal cable

I A/B'ed them with same instrument, amp, same plugs (Neutrik) & same solder...to my ear, Klotz rolls significantly less high than Canare & Mogami. If you check the specs, you'll find that Klotz has less capacitance than the other two brands.

I ended up giving my Canare GS6 cables to my friend. In Europe, Klotz is just little bit more expensive than Canare.

Another vote for Klotz cables. A side-by-side listening test convinced me!
