MOGAMI pro vs MOGAMI reference

The 3368 cable (Reference) has lower capacitance than the 2524 (Pro). Mogami makes good cables and they're all built to last (if you care for them properly), the cheaper one I'm sure would be great. If you have sensitive ears you might be able to hear a difference between them but I think it would be very very minor.
 
Echoing what others have said; If you're using a passive bass, have extremely good high frequency hearing ability (if you're older than +/- age 30 then you've already lost the ability to hear the highest frequencies in the human perception spectrum regardless of how well you've treated your ears), and are supremely picky about your tone to the point of being a hindrance to practical playing applications, then you might be able to detect a TINY loss of very high frequencies if comparing the higher capacitance cable to the lower capacitance one directly. Without a common reference you will not be able to tell the difference, or to put it another way, you wouldn't know that you were missing anything, if anything.
