GONE, Pirahna 3m guitar cable, faulty

[Protium]

Approx 3m/10ft, Neutrik connectors (right angle to straight), crackling signal but I can't find why - both conductors test ok on a meter

Crackling is suggestive of an intermittent contact somewhere. Could be that the conductors were OK when tested but become intermittent when the cable is used in a different position and moving about.

Alternatively, could be a poor/dirty contact within the bass and/or amp sockets. Sometimes the socket contacts that press against the jack contacts lose their 'spring' and make a loose connection and/or don't rub off any tarnishing on the plug contacts when inserted. This can also cause a poor, crackly connection. Might be worth giving the jack plugs a good clean with a clean cloth.

Have you tried a different cable?
