Free Elixir 20ft cable

Well they must be pretty confident that we'll hear a positive difference as they are sending out so many and asking for feedback (Facebook, etc.) compared to our current cabling. I'm keeping an open mind.

I'm sticking with physics on this one.

BTW, I didn't get notified.

I got it.

Me Too! Me Too!

Cable capacitance causes attenuation of the signal resulting in the highs being rolled off. They tested against a cable with higher capacitance (Monster Rock?), and probably EQed to accentuate the difference.

+1 Especially since it's been determined that Monster increases capacitance in their cables that are claimed to "enhance bass", and the one dude near the end is shown holding a Monster cable. And even a small tweak of the signal level will cause an impression of one being better than the other, because the slightly louder one will always sound "better" to the human ear.

woo hoo! I'm getting one.

Hilarious, huh?

These are also sold as "Jazz cables."

Cable magic never seems to get old or go out of style.

Thanks to robd for this thread--I got a free cable on its way. With all the frequency analysis software available these days, it's not too hard to test Elixir's claims, and I'll probably run a comparo between the Elixir cable and my Planet Waves cable.

I'll be gigging out with it a few times right after I get it, so at least I can give them some feedback on the reliability and durability.

hopefully i'll get it before our show on the 18th, if not i'll have to wait a month to play it live

except at church

Add me to the list of "Elixir Cable Tester!" It's nice to feel like I "won" something.

All I got was a rock.

 

[skiscem]

I got a confirmation Email saying my cable is on its way, thanks!

It wasn't a rock.





It was a rock......





LOBSTER!

The really hilarious part is that a cheapie cable will have the same effect

Weak - you definitely signed up 2 days before I even saw this thread.

Maybe they factored current cable choice into the selection.

LOBSTER!

Nice!

And since you mention it...O/T'ing to ask if anyone has a bass transcription of the guitar solo from Rock Lobster.

Maybe they factored current cable choice into the selection.

There's a thought. I use, and told them, Monster. What did the rest of you say?

I said Bayou cables since my main instrument cable is a Bayou. I also use a 25' Monster in my home practice set up but my gig rig consists of Bayous.

you may be on to something. I currently use Silverflex by Horizon which I listed on that eform.

I got the email!!!

choice into the selection.

I told them I use the Fender Gold bass cable.
