    What cables do you use?

    Since we know about the picks and strings, this seems to be the next logical choice.


    I'm using Planet Waves. They do sound better than cheap cables especially in longer runs. More clarity. They do seem to crap out every year or so and with the life time warranty I just take them back to L&M and grab a new one. No charge, no questions asked.

    The George Ls have more top end but I can't seem to make them worth crap. They can be a little harsh with a bright guitar or amp.

    I use wireless units. You never know what how clean the electricity in some places. I've been shocked before, and that will never happen again...........

    I have now finally completey changed over to george l's cables.

    My First experience with george l's was in a studio in NY. we where recording a LesPaul through a 100w plexi on 10 and a 412 with greenbacks. We started off using a digiflex cable and then someone suggested trying the george l's. from teh control room the difference was noticable immediatly. much more pure adn focused sounding. it truely sounded like the entire studio signal chain had been upgraded. it was impressive.

    Second experince, i started adding george l's cables to my live rig, here and there, one by one, never really noticed a huge difference. the magik happend when i all at once replaced my last 3 cables with george l's all at the same time. It was in soundcheck, right before a show. I fired up my VBA 400 and ........... ya, that was it, nothing, absolutly nothing, it was amazing, no hiss, no buzz, no hum. my rig had always been prone to being noisy in all the clubs. Now with george L's running head to toe, nothing but dead silence. Impressive i must say.

    I use Planet Waves. I still have to get the PW Cable Station, but I'm waiting to get my pedalboard built. For now I just use some homemade ones for my pedals.
    If I know your uncle, they're at least strippers.

    Mostly Road Hog right now. I think there might be a Digiflex in there somewhere.

    Yorkville for me. Not to much money, work just fine and they have lasted 100x times longer than any other cable I have ever used.

    I make my own with switchcraft plugs and MIJ double insulated mic cable $1.39 a foot, they are very high quality.

    I'm currently using Planet Waves. They're reasonably priced, and I've yet to have one die on me.
