Is Fender Gold and/or Platinum bass cables recommended? Is the Platinum cable worth the extra $?

FWIW:

don't know but there have been a number of discussions in the amp forum on cables of all types so you can probably draw a conclusion from a search from that if the Fender's not specifically mentioned.

If you choose Fender cables with the lifetime warranty buy them in pairs because one is always going to be coming or going in the mail for replacement. They're always crapping out.

I've been happy with Monster Prolinks and Cardas.

FWIW:

I have a cheap freebie I've jerked and abused without a glitch. I only bought one Monster cable and it was replaced in less than 5 hours of use with no abuse. I've seen a number of manufacturers that tell you not to use them and I've stuck this Monster in a number of jacks (Bass Podxt just today) and you can tell it just doesn't feel right - but it's worked when I've used it and hasn't trashed anything.

I haven't and wouldn't buy another one.
