[laristotle]

Just one post?
I'm here!

[Beatles]

Man this forum just keeps getting better :smile: I'm in

[ClintonHammond]

Does it 'snap' at both ends or just one?

Neat design.

[RIFF WRATH]

Geez I feel guilty trying to win again but what the heck..good luck everyone
cheers
Riff

[iaresee]

I don't get it. Why do you need your cable to snap apart like that?

[ClintonHammond]

So that when some dullard trips over your cable you don't pull your amp down... or crash your guitar to the floor...

I expect you'd be less likely to have to repair the cable, with said break-away piece....

I think it'd be a wonderful kind of poetry if "Riff" won this too!!

[Mooh]

Pick me, pick me, I'm ever so worthy!

Good idea for a giveaway. Cool product, and one can never have enough cords around.

Peace, Mooh.

[ne1roc]

Very cool! I want one!

[kickz28]

I don't post very often, but I do read! But I sure would like to win this great prize though!

Thanks!
Joey

edit: looking at my post count, this is my first post, I thought I had posted before in the luthier forum... at least my join date shows I didn't join for the contest!

[Dublin82]

That'd be nice!

[Ritchard]

OOOweee! Prizes!

[Chito]

Although I seldom if ever trip on my cables, this looks like a great idea. I wouldn't mind winning it and trying it out.

To DOS and Guitars Canada --> :food-smiley-004::food-smiley-004:

[Steeler]

I use GeorgeL cables, and love them, but would be willing to try a Snap.

[mirthvader]

Sign me up. Love freebies.

[CobaltBlue72]

interesting.

[elindso]

That looks like a good product.

I will use it well when I win:smile::wink:

[The Fid]

I play a vintage Gibson SG and I think this is a godsend, for peace of mind if nothing else. The jack outlet on the SG is a notoriously weak point and can easily split the body if too much sideways tension is applied (even with it looped through the strap, it can get knocked).

I don't understand criticism being aimed at a FREE prize? DOS kindly donate a prize and then people knock it (and get entered to win as a result!), very ungrateful IMHO.

Fid.

[ClintonHammond]

"I don't understand criticism being aimed at a FREE prize?"

Huh?
I don't see anyone in this thread BEING critical.....

[Paul]

I need a post to win, so this is it.....

Does anybody else here prefer a 90 degree end on a Strat type body jack? I like how the cable comes up across the body of the guitar, and then neatly through the strap.

This snap jack woulda been great 25 years ago when I was in my Pete Townshend windmill stage and managed to catch the cable and rip out the jack plate on my friends El Degas Strat copy.

edit: I lied, it was an Alcivar brand axe, not an El Degas....D'oh!!!

[LowWatt]

Count me in. I'm curious about this one. I figure its a godsend for people with children or pets who like to keep their gear plugged in at home

[Ripper]

These are kinda cool. I most certainly would elminate the old "travelling amp" syndrome from years ago.
Thanks to everyone who supplies all the cool giveaways this site has!!:rockon2:

[simescan]

I'd love to try one of these,...and thanks Mike....

[blackspy]

Could always use a better cable. :rockon:

[fretman57]

I absolutely love this cable idea because I love my guitars and amps and so do my customers love theirs. I think I'll be offering these in my store if I win one and like it!

Rock on brother Canadians!

[Milkman]

Right.

I guess I replace one cord almost every show (I own the PA so I have a lot of cords to fail).


One new one with a new design characteristic wouldn't hurt my feelings at all.


Luck everybody!

[Warren]

I'll join in!

[iaresee]

I don't understand criticism being aimed at a FREE prize? DOS kindly donate a prize and then people knock it (and get entered to win as a result!), very ungrateful IMHO.
Who's criticising? I'm not allowed to ask why I'd want a cable that snaps apart at the jack? I've never been a victim of a wandering amp courtesy a dullard so that hadn't crossed my mind. I guess too few of my fans are rushing the stage.

What is that ClintonHammond tells me all the time...oh right: relax.

[ClintonHammond]

"I guess too few of my fans are rushing the stage."
I'll rush yer stage if it'll make ya feel better... LOL

(I'm willing to bet it'll just make ya nauseous...)

[Paul]

I made my saving throw VS Religious Artifacts a long time ago

:-P

I don't even take half-damage....

[Michelle]

Looks like a cool idea. I'm in!

[Paul]

:-P

Oh, Shut up and go and change your armour!!!!

I think I have enough posts in this thread now.

[sh333]

:wave::wave::wave:

Count me in!

[famouspogs]

this sounds cool, i use low quality cables. something like this might improve my sound.

[Milkman]

Oh, Shut up and go and change your armour!!!!

I think I have enough posts in this thread now.

Best quote from the movie



"she turned me into a newt




it got better"

[djem]

I'm in. Never have enough cables. These giveaways are fun!

[ClintonHammond]

This shows how little I know... I'da figured that a powerful magnet would INTERFERE with the signal, no???


"go and change your armour"
I actually started a new suit, out of different materials not too long ago... Yer right... Maybe now that I'm in Theatre Hiatus I aughta get back to it....

,-)

[1PUTTS]

Cool, I need a new cable. And I love the good folks at DOS - Mike is a true gentleman and a class act. I have two DOS guitars and one DOS pedal. Thanks Mike!:smile:

[adamthemute]

I'd love a new fancy cable!

[AcousticAl]

That's pretty cool. I'd love to win one. Pick me!:eek:

[Paul]

This shows how little I know... I'da figured that a powerful magnet would INTERFERE with the signal, no???


I know a little too, but I'd think that you'd need a magnet and a coil to get any electrical problems.

"go and change your armour"
I actually started a new suit, out of different materials not too long ago... Yer right... Maybe now that I'm in Theatre Hiatus I aughta get back to it....

,-)

Damn that writers strike, it's taken the word sout of Sir Clint of Hammond's mouth!!!!

Seriously, (and way OT), what do you use for wire? Annealed, tempered? Low Carbon? And how do you make all of those damn loops by hand? I know how automated processes work for knitting, weaving or braiding wire, but I can't imagine the PITA it must be to work with hand tools doing that kind of work.

[jane]

I'm in! That looks like a cool design too... especially for when I step on my own cables... uh huh... I've yanked them out of my guitars that way before... oops.

[valen]

I would love to win one of these !

[ClintonHammond]

"I know a little too"
You'd have to know VERY little to know as much, or less than me! LOL

Too keep the OT conversation going....

"what do you use for wire?"
I used to make my own rings... buy wire (Mostly galvanized mild steel from hardware shops.... "Fence" wire) and wrap it into coils and cut it all by hand....

Then I found a place in Sask. that specifically makes rings for chainmaille.... Now, when I need new rings, I'm more than happy to give him my business.... I still assemble them myself.... but I don't miss the ring-making steps of the process....

And well, he's got tons of different kinds of wire he can make rings from, from crappy mild steel to titanium, and precious metals... Stainless steel is my personal favourite.... Good cost... Good strength... Great appearance... Easy to look after... hypoallergenic... Most of the pieces on my site (Except for the suit) are made in stainless steel.

[Tarbender]

A klutz like me could really use something like that :smile:

[DSGS]

Post number 2 - maybe it's time to get lucky. Rock on!

[PaulS]

If I keep posting sooner or later I got to win one of these give aways.....:D

[kinggeoff]

dang it's like contest heaven up in here! did that previous contest end already????

[greco]

Thanks for the contest DOS

Looks like a very cool and innovative product.

I have often come to the end of my cord..... and the vision of my head and cab tumbling over flashes in front of my eyes (along with the vision of the repair bill)...NOT LOL...

Good Luck to all who enter.

Dave

[felenoral]

ooo i wanna win.:smile:

[Fragile Man]

Wow, great contest.
I would love to win this cable, then I wouldn't have to repair those noisy ones that I have right now.

Thanks for the chance!

[Pr3Va1L]

Well, I'm in!!

Nice contest :rockon:

[violation]

That's a pretty cool cable, never heard of them until now.

[cycro27]

WOHH i'm in:rockon2:

[Rumble_b]

Nothing better than winning some gear. This site rules!

[Bird]

Posting and all is well.

[GuitaristZ]

just in time...all my cables arent working very well right now so this could be VERY useful!

[shoretyus]

Pick me all I ever one was a cake when I was 8..

no I won the short end of a straw too :smile:

[DUCK]

NICE! Thanks GC & DOS :food-smiley-004:

[Bob Rock]

Count me in on this one.

You gotta love this place! :rockon2:

[zontar]

That's cool, I can always use another one.

And the price is right!

[GuitarPix]

Definitely a technology who's time has come.

Peace all,
Neil

[Skippy]

Sure, I'll try my luck.

[Kenmac]

I'm in as well. Looks like an interesting and innovative product for sure.

[iaresee]

"I guess too few of my fans are rushing the stage."
I'll rush yer stage if it'll make ya feel better... LOL

(I'm willing to bet it'll just make ya nauseous...)
It's cool man. They compensate by throwing their panties. I'm happy with that.

[iaresee]

This shows how little I know... I'da figured that a powerful magnet would INTERFERE with the signal, no???
Only if it's moving along the wire. A magnet near a wire doesn't induce a current, but a moving magnet near a wire does.

[searchin4signal]

Well......here's hoping !

[bobb]

Gee, I didn't even have time to prepare a speech...

[jcon]

I was just checking these out on the DOS site yesterday. Hey Mike, any chance of tossing in one of the new Carparelli models with the Kahler trem to go along with the cable? :)

Cheers,
Joe

[Element]

Looks like a good cable!

[rocklobster]

I just want to try winning, cause I have never won anything before.

[Wayward Son]

Can't win if you don't buy a ticket......so.....
Thanks Mike .......if it's not long enough to reach the beer fridge.....it won't matter.

Good luck all

When you rent 'em by the hour....it's good to have short cuts.

No... really....

Ya... "Classy"... that -EXACTLY- the word people use to describe the circles -I- move in...

I stopped moving in circles years ago, I now move forward.....

[ClintonHammond]

Moving forward... just means you end up with a longer commute to get back home at the end of the day...

[Phil Lament]

I would give it a try

[November5th]

Looks like a cool idea,I just hope it sounds good.Count me in.Peace.
