Dingus Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If these OBMM's are so good then how come no one famous uses them and where are their adverts? What use is a cable without propaganda? I can get something for under a tenner that will make sound come out my bass, but I want some bullshit to believe in to go along with that sound, preferably involving words like "coaxial" , " symmetrical" and "hyper-litz". That, my friends , is worth paying extra for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Because people that 'endorse' products have been paid to do so. I'd imagine OBBM manages to keep his prices low because he doesn't pay people to rave about them! 20 real people have just recommended OBBM for free. Doesn't that mean something anymore?

peteb Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1392045603' post='2363959'] Have I been lucky and not realised it? Is there some kind of Monster cable lottery that I have won without even realising? Is mine the 1 in 10 that makes the grade? I bought it from a shop in Norwich, and just assumed it would work . I was right ! As far as I can tell, that is... [/quote] Actually I have been using Monster cables for years with no problems at all; they’re excellent (thru rather expensive). However, just to ensure that I am not too far away from the herd – I do use obbm speaker cables, which are really good as everybody here will testify… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.bass78 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thank for all your help I'll check out obbm cables Obbm seems to have a lot fans thank you all gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I bought a Planet Waves American Stage cable and could actually hear a difference in clarity over my old Klotz cable.

KiOgon Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Or there's ASTEROPE Cables ;-) Bob Babbit liked them! http://vimeo.com/59402492 Now available via JHS! http://www.jhs.co.uk/asterope.html Edited February 10, 2014 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have used Award Sessions cables for years and they have never let me down or for a bit of retro look without the tone sucking quality of the old ones, Bullet curly leads.

chris_b Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Dave (OBBM) made most of my cables. I'd buy them because they are high quality, not very expensive and he's rather good at making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yup. OBBM. I've had a fair few off him now... and the only guy who has managed to provide an XLR cable for the singist's microphone... that she hasn't killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Rather than buying cables based on peoples' opinions and limited knowledge, I'd send a PM to BassChat user OBBM. He knows his sh*t, and can advise you better than the rest of us can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I agree, the OP should PM obbm for his opinion - I'm sure he'll recommend a Planet Waves or a Monster...

Zenitram Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's probably no point me mentioning Orchid Electronics, is there. So much cheaper than the rest and as good in terms of quality as anything ever made, anywhere, ever, since things were first made. Ever. And that includes all the really good things that have ever been made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.paulgeary.com/"]http://www.paulgeary.com/[/url] So thhhppp! [/quote] He's not properly famous, though . He hasn't got lots of tattoos, a goatee beard and long shorts , he doesn't play in a band called something like "Rectal Prolapse" , and he doesn't have any videos on You Tube talking about needing a rig that can match his ferocious, high- impact bass playing and take his thunderous sound to the baying public who demand to be pulverised by his crushing tone . And for that kind of success you need a Celebrity cable , because that's where it's at. If OBMM want to add me to their user list then they need to get some big names on board , get some science going and, most importantly, put their prices up a lot. Why would a bass player of my stature use cables that people on Basschat can afford? I may as well start getting my bass gear at Netto.

I am embarrassed to tell you how much money I have spent on fancy cables for my hi fi over the last twenty years.. I've just bought another one the other day, even though I know that when I fit it, I won't hear any difference whatsoever. The ultimate irony is that I don't even have the time to listen to music any more. I'm too busy trying to pay for the bleedin' cables. I wish I was joking.
