wateroftyne Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 No. Buy OBBM, or make your own with high-quality components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I wouldn't personally. You can get OBBM cables for about half the price and they'll arrive on your doorstep quicker than a very quick thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I've got a Monster Bass cable and it sound good and has lasted for the best part of fifteen years without any issues , so I have had good value out of mine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 IME, by the time you've got Klotz (or Van Damme) cable and Neutriks connectors you've got as good as you're going to get. Anything else is just brand hype and makes b*gger all difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 There's nothing special about Monster Cables other than their questionable business practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 About 5 years ago I bought some leads from Award Session. They made them quickly, made with good material and have never let me down even though I am for ever standing on them. But in the future, I would get them from OBBM and keep things in the Basschat family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've got a Klotz cable too , also very good , and has lasted about eighteen years so far , and my Whirlwind heavy duty XLR to phono cable is still going strong after nearly twenty five years , so there is a lot to be said for buying good quality cables in terms of it being cheaper in the long run .

Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 +1 to whirlwind. I have 3 cables a mate gave me about 17 years ago. They're still fine, through gigs, rehearsals, hinge practise and studio work. The Klotz patch cables I had dramatically "dulled" the sound, so I never have investigated the full-length ones. Hopefully, they're better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
