VERY elementary query for Michael & Steve:

[deckard]

what sort(s) of instrument cables and straps do you guys prefer/use?

Thanks much!

Scott

Hi Scott,

I use Evidence Audio cables - good solid reliable cables that don't degrade my sound at all, and don't get tangled easily! There's not much you can ask of a cable beyond not really noticing that it's there. If you're having to pay much attention to a cable after having bought it, something's wrong. The Evidence Audio stuff just does the job.

I rarely use a strap, as I sit down to play most of the time, but when I do, I use Comfort Strapps.

cheers,

Steve

Thanks, Steve - much appreciated!

Any chance you might ever make it to the Seattle area, Pacific NW U.S., anytime...?

cheers,

Hi Scott,

I usually use Planet Waves cables on stage these days, but when I’m recording I’ll often use different cables depending on the kind of sound I’m going for.

I also use different straps on my basses depending on some specific needs. I have several straps made by Blue Note which I think are terrific, but unfortunately I think they’re out of business.
