Planet Waves 10-foot Classic Series Instrument Cable (Right Angle)

I used to avoid cables with molded ends, but I haven't had a peep of trouble out of either of the cables. Plus, if you're playing live and move around onstage, you'll REALLY appreciate a cable flexible enough to stay out of your way.I REALLY like this cable! I had bought a much more expensive cable, "scientifically designed for bass guitar, etc.", It was nice, BUT it was a real pain onstage. Not flexible at all! It would lie under your feet in big ropy coils. Despite its high price, it started losing connection - oddly, only on amps with COSM modeling. There's probably a scientific explanation, but there weren't any scientists around and I needed to finish the gig, so I grabbed my spare, which happened to be the 20 foot version of this cable.

There's probably a scientific explanation, but there weren't any scientists around and I needed to finish the gig, so I grabbed my spare, which happened to be the 20 foot version of this cable. Even though it was way longer than I needed, I immediately flipped over how flexible it was. And I couldn't hear a difference between it and the scientifically designed cable! So I ordered a shorter one, and never looked back!I've used the long one as a backup for several years. Used it many times when other people's cables failed, or to hook up a powered cabinet now and then. Never a peep of trouble. I like the little grippers on the shaft - they seem to help make a very positive connection.It cost less than a fourth of what my fancy cable cost, works just as well, and stays nice and flat on the floor when I'm playing.

I've been a playing professionally for over 40 years, and have never had this happen before. Finished a set, got up to the next set and NOTHING coming out of my guitar! When a cable goes bad, it goes bad at the connections, but not THIS ONE! Started checking all my equipment because there was NO INDICATION of a short in my cable, or any other cable. After checking everything else, I just replaced it, and my guitar was back! Now, maybe you think I should have just replaced it BEFORE PANICKING, and checking all my other stuff, but my equipment is ALL kept in perfect working condition, and cables are checked regularly. If a cable is suspect, it's replaced. But like I said, I've NEVER seen a cable just DIE like that!! Any serious musician knows that there are few things ... MoreI've been a playing professionally for over 40 years, and have never had this happen before.

Any serious musician knows that there are few things more embarrassing than having to stop a REALLY GOOD SHOW in the middle of a song!!! Being that the very first negative review I read was someone who had the EXACT SAME THING happen to his cable, tells me that there were probably others, and that their QC people need to be FIRED!!! PS: You need an option for NO STARS!!

These are very good especially for home, studio or rehearsal type applications. A plus is the rightangle plug fits a standard Telecaster jack plug fine. Probably not as durable for the hard use typeapplications. I like the flexibility of the cable itself. I have used these for years in the 10 and 20foot lengths.
