pesocaster Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Not to be misunderstood... my jab was aimed at a reason for JB and I to hang out.... I do know this ....Some guys prefer blonds... I like brunettes.... there are many "electrical" and "physical" reasons one cable may be "spec superior" to another.... but what it all boils down to is how it sounds to "your" ears... and if a cable helps get your "voice" across better then good for that...Cheers!
KH Guitar Freak Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Fair enough. Guess you could say that I never really skimped on patch cables really. The cheapest I have are the Spectraflex ones... ph34r.gif Exactly. My guess is that the difference between the Spectraflex and Mogami would be tiny, if any. The length of the cable and the fact that they are both well made would be huge factors.Yup. Only reason why I'm getting Evidence Audio Lyric HG patch cables made is because my pedalboard will use up almost as much cable as a single instrument cable, which by then would have significant change in tone that I would upgrade if I can afford to anyway. (give or take almost 10 foot of patch cables alone)...
JohnnyB Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Not to be misunderstood... my jab was aimed at a reason for JB and I to hang out.... Speaking of which, my first choice would be for you to come up here, as I have re-invented the living room stereo and re-centered it on analog vinyl playback. I have the complete Steely Dan, Cars, and Police discographies on vinyl, plus lots of Beach Boys, some Brian Wilson, Steve Miller, Fabulous Thunderbirds, SRV, Clapton, The Who, Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, the Stones (thanks, Santellavision), Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, Gary Burton, Dave Brubeck, Buddy Rich, Pat Metheny, John Abercrombie, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass, etc., etc. But if you want me to come south with my ASAT bass and Eden amp, I'm in, and I'll throw in a horsewhipping with the Mogami cable.
Ranger Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 "Yeah the doofus who posted this on The Gear Page did so thinking he was exposing DLR's lack of vocal ability. Turns out the only thing he exposed was himself as someone who's obviously never been in a recording studio before and is most likely the stereotypical Gear Pager: some clueless professional type who's into guitars and music out of hero worship and a desire to recapture the excitement of his youth that's sorely lacking from his middle-aged adult existence. He's been soundly lambasted for his opinion, and rightly so."You, sir, are an anal unit.
JohnnyB Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 You, sir, are an anal unit. And the thread takes a new, weirder turn.
Ranger Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Perhaps I missed the joke. If so, regrets. He comes off as a jerk, though. Consider....."....some clueless professional type who's into guitars and music out of hero worship and a desire to recapture the excitement of his youth that's sorely lacking from his middle-aged adult existence.." that's pretty mean language and mean people suck
gtone Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Wow - a dull thread gets interesting all of a sudden!
backinit Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You, sir, are an anal unit. And the thread takes a new, weirder turn. I'll say...over a quote in a signature...
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You, sir, are an anal unit. Wow...why you gotta go after The Muse like that? What did Chris ever do to you?
MCChris Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You, sir, are an anal unit.That I am! HEY! Let's go get us an Indian down the alley!
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 that's pretty mean language and mean people suckThis from a guy who just called someone an "anal unit" ROTFLMAO!!! Oh the hypocrisy of it all. LOL!!!!!!Given the thread, I would have bet money that he was talking about Johnathan. LOL!!!!
KH Guitar Freak Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I came into this thread looking for goatse, and I'm massively disappointed...*pulls up pants*
HSB0531 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I made popcorn.Got my big comfy leather chair.Going to sit back and enjoy the show from a comfortable distance.
gtone Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 The background to this story is that you had to read Ranger's other thread to know what shape his head was in last night. Suffice it to say that he was having a pretty good "escape" weekend!

Suffice it to say that he was having a pretty good "escape" weekend!You also had to read the original TGP thread I referenced in the quote from Poe's signature. Some guy ripping on DLR's solo vocal track from "Runnin' With the Devil" and thinking he'd be congratulated for his observation. Little did he know that anyone who knows anything about music was able to recognize it as the brilliant vocal that it is. Epic fail on that guy's part, and thus my reaction.
gtone Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Methinks Ranger's sleeping off whatever he was on last night!

Suffice it to say that he was having a pretty good "escape" weekend!Ranger has posted 47 times in 30 months of membership, of which 9 happened yesterday when he was "flying". See the Steve Howe thread. Makes the old Brooks threads seem quaint.
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Makes the old Brooks threads seem quaint.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bruiser Brody had a few doosies when he was tying one on as well. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH
JohnnyB Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 In searches for vendors of premium instrument cable, I came across Lava Cable, who works from bulk cable and terminates in-house. This also enables them to offer options such as a Neutrik silent plug (straight or right angle) for an additional $7.50 and nylon mesh sheathing in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Lava is probably the best deal around for Mogami Gold: They terminate Mogami 2524 (the stock for the Gold series) with a rugged high quality connector. The packaged 18-foot Mogami Gold retails at $52.95. Lava Cable does it for $36.95. You can get a ten-footer for $25.95, which is about what I paid for that Peavey cable.Lava offers a broad range of premium brands--Cardas, VOVOX, Van Den Hul, Evidence, George L., Canare, and others.
jwhitcomb3 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Groovy, baby! Comes in four flavors! If only I hadn't sold my purple sparkle Danelectro 12 string! -Jonathan
Ethan Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Lava cable is the bee's knees...I've had 4 or 5 for about 3 years now, some of which have been on every tour I've done and I've had no problems with them at all. He's really expanded his line since I got mine-back then you could only get Canare or George L's cable. Really really good stuff and based right here in North Carolina.
edgar_allan_poe Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for the heads up on Lava cable guys. I needed some quality patch cables and got them for 1/2 of what I was going to have to pay.
Armitage Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Lava Cable http://www.lavacable.com has been around and well respected for ages. I've had him do lots of stuff. It's just not worth the bother for me to do it anymore. Lately I've had things done by Bayou Cables, http://bayoucables.com/ I like to have my cables in specific colours so I don't get in those "That's MY cable" arguments, and Bayou carries Canare in colours.I've heard that Lava Cable didn't want the Canare competition so he's kind of pulled out rather then compete.
