Don't know why it took this long to recall this pair in our recent discussions- subtle but deep bass- and the overall song craft is stellar-



This one's no slouch either-


Not to mention that Sade is the most perfect example of an elegantly beautiful woman I can think of. As long as we are discussing shallow. She could be tone deaf and I would still swoon when she sings.
 
I dunno. I have a couple cables for the wireless transmitter because I didn't like the looks of the one Shure provided. So I bought a shorter red one. Then decided it wasn't looking quite right and bought an even shorter braided black one. The transmitter lives on the strap, behind the bass when I play.

Shallowness is the one place I don't have inertia. Well, OK, it suffers from inertia, too. I still haven't got the fretless off to get refinished.
I am still using two lousy Magami cables with my transmitters. Don't believe the hype on that brand gang. But durable quality cables are expensive.

Not sure if I have a Mogami but I do have a Monster Cable on the boat, that I have occasionally stepped on, and once caught between my toes and bent the jack, and spraining one of the toes on the way to the V-Berth. This happened one night when I was really tired and not paying attention- but it still works!

What brands would you recommend that merit the extra money, if one were to venture into higher end cables?

While still thinking eighties ladies, albeit this was '89, the Katydids couldn't get a break. An unfortunate name choice may have had something to do with it. Nick Lowe produced their first of only two albums. They resurfaced sometime back, but never got the momentum going.
 
I bought a couple of pairs of 10 and 20 foot cables by New Bee that were for sale on Amazon- they have the fabric covers that are less apt to kink. Don't know how great they are in the long run but are convenient to use-

I got them because I came to find that I prefer right angle jacks on my basses and guitars (with the exception of the Strats) and I only had one or two like that-

Yeah, my first thought upon seeing the name was Steely Dan (Katy Lied)-

She has a great voice, and it's a nice melody with nice clarity of production and song craft-

Maybe Caulfield. Or Runway. There's a Canadian brand Ken likes, I forget the name.

Digiflex. Irv turned me onto them. I've been using Whirlwind cables for ages and highly recommend them. Lifetime guarantee and I did use that once with no problem. I tried the Digiflex because I needed a right angle to right angle and Whirlwind didn't make that. Also a fan of them. I like the beefy Neutrik connectors.
