Is DIY an option?

good, because monsters are poop anyway.

I recommend going to a local, reputable music store. Might be MyStarSound dealers or have some sort of locally made cable, often times with a rad warranty.

planet waves? Ive had my 20 footer since i started playing about 5 years ago and its still powering like a monster after lots of abuse

There is always Link Removed but don't expect a fast turn around (took a month to get mine).

I'm quite pleased with the cable I got though.

Whirlwinds - not the cheapest but they come in under your budget and I swear by them.

I'm happy with the Live Wires from Guitar Center. Price is competitive for all ends/lengths that I've bought and they're lifetime replaceable. Never had one go bad on me yet.

DiMarzio from Amazon is another good choice.

I've have a set of custom GS-6 Canare Cables arriving in the next day or two (provided the mail arrives before this next blizzard):

They were pretty much fabricated and shipped with a one-week turnaround, and they have neutrik connections that are silver-soldered with a 5-year guarantee. I picked up a 20' and 10' cable for $75 (one silent plug), shipping inclusive. So far, I've been very impressed with their service. I'll let you know how I make out.

Another alternative that I just found is Link Removed
They also are silver-solder with the silent connectors, but have a lifetime guarantee for a comparable price.

Live Wire cables are awesome. Lifetime warranty too!

A blown speaker would pay for a lot of cables.

Just saying.

Although I have to admit Bayou Cables has some VERY cheap instrument cables:

WOW

How many and what length? I have a great price on Roadhog cables.

when I worked in guitar sales, the price markup on cables was like 400 or 500 percent. store cost for a 13.00 20 ft guitar cable was around 3 dollars. I always found that amazing. Before I quit I stocked up using my @ cost employee discount. I'm still using some of those 3.00 cables and that was 2003. I cant see much reason to spend 50.00 on one cable, knowing that it probably costs monster 5.00 to manufacture it.

i haven't heard of roadhog cables. are they a good buy??
