gary mac Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 There's a lot of love on here for forum user Obbm. He will make cables to order and very good they are too Quote
Dad3353 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 +1 for the above. Price is right, delivery very fast. Recommendation from a very satisfied User. Quote

mingsta Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 +1 for bassic-bits Mine is still going strong. Great cable and good vfm Quote
xilddx Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Should add the obbm is the BC member who has a cable making service called bassic-bits marketed as RockWire. He's a total gent, makes wonderful cables to your spec, and he really knows his stuff, he can fix your Neve desk which is quite a speciality! Quote
chris_b Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 All bar 1 of my cables are OBBM and when that one gives out I'll get a replacement from Dave. Quote
JTUK Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 With good quality cable and and good connectors, there shouldn't really be too many breakdowns. The connectors should be industry standard neutrik and Klotz quality cable. I've had one cable failure and it was replaced free of charge by the engr who made them as this was ( still is..? ) Klotz policy. Quote
thebigyin Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks again for your help and advice, really appreciate it. Cheers Bob. Quote
zero9 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Probably the best instrument cable available is by Phil Jones, but at a price. OBBM is probably the best price / performance ratio. It depends how serious you want to get Quote

Roland Rock Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Speaking of Klotz cable, I once had OBBM send me a cable of Klotz instead of the usual Vandamme, and I found it horribly stiff and annoying. I always specify Vandamme with him now. I don't know if it was a one off nasty cable? Quote
stuckinthepod Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Depends on your price range as to your definition of good quality I guess. I like Planet Waves - American Stage Series- Circa £25-£35 Quote
Bo0tsy Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I use the Van Damme Silent Neutrik leads. They've been very reliable so far and come with 'silent' jacks which mute the signal when coupling/removing the jack. Very reasonable, good quality and you can easily get them on eBay. Quote
largo Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 OBBM cables are great and I've also used www.designacable.com completely customised cables with quality components and loads of different colours if that's your thing. Quote
inthedoghouse Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Vanne Damme cables and Neutrik plugs :-) Quote
spyder Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Also try Cream cables by The Chord Company. They are a UK audio cable company who's technical design guy plays bass. I use them and find them to be great quality without silly prices. Quote
JTUK Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 My Klotz cable leads are a lot smoother than an alternative that my studio guy..who makes them.. gave me. He was annoyed with Klotz as he had a duff lenght of cable, so he got another cable supplier, ( can't recall the name ) and that is quite stiff and rigid by comparison, and he soon went back to Klotz. All his studio is wired out with the same cable and I would never call it rigid or stiff by any stretch.. Quote

paul_5 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I had an engineer make me up a Neutrik and Van Damme cable up over 20 years ago. It's outlasted every other piece of kit I've ever bought, and I'm still gigging with it. If OBBM's using these brands then I'd say you'll not go too far wrong with one (or even a couple) of his. For patch cables I swear by George L's though. Edited January 29, 2015 by paul_5 Quote
