itu Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 It is much easier to coil two or three shorter ones than one very long. This is for long cable lovers: https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/na3jj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Mine started out at 25’ but has been fixed over the years, kind of like ‘my uncle Billy’. Neutrik jacks and van damme cable ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonK Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Given the popularity of the "four cable method" for guitarists, and the scarcity of 4-core mono jack to jack multicores of different lengths, I would make some of these as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin E Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Hi Chienmortbb I've tended to go for coloured cables just to help identify stuff in dim light on stage hence my observation. And just to brighten things up a bit to be honest! Quite appreciate if you're making these things in bulk you can't keep a load of colours but maybe just one bright colour, red, yellow, green or whatever as an option in future ?

Matt P Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I run a wireless from bass to board but when i use a cable i usually go for a 3m cable from bass to pedalboard and then either 4 or 5 from the board to the amp. most of may cables are right angle to straight, and they are all neutruik plugs and Klotz AC110 cable (all home made as i bought a 100m drum about 12 years ago and still have plenty left even after making Hifi interconnects and cables for friends.

Stub Mandrel Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I put 4m, but I think mine are actually mostly 5m. But I have lots and some are too short and used only for practice. Currently, my main practise rig has a 6m on it... a Cheinmortbb won at the SW Bass Bash IIRC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I get mine custom made because you just can't seem to buy cables "off the shelf" with an angled jack at both ends. So if I'm going custom they are going to be gold-plated Neutrik jacks and excellent quality, flexible cable. Oh, and 3m is plenty from my multi-fx pedal. The cable back to my amp is also angled jacks both ends, but with a thicker, stiffer cable. The angled jacks out of the back of my multi-fx pedal help a lot if dancers get a bit too close and personal - far less likely to be damaged if stepped on. Angled jacks are also less likely to be tugged out of a socket if the cable is pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess that @Chienmortbb would probably make them (as it's his thread!) 😁 The last leads I had made came from Custom Lynx - a mate of mine works there, although they were DMX leads that I had made https://custom-lynx.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, my browser missed the whole of this thread and all I saw was your post mentioning right angle jack sockets which is my preference and what caught my attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
