in sydney i tried to get a band together with some mates doing "classic rock" covers... purple... free.. bad company...but not the obvious stuff
and a few originals in that vein
just for a laugh really
i had an old school marshall stack... speaker fabric correct... a custom shop 69 strat (white and maple neck.. naturally..)... flared jeans ("lionels") and clogs
.. and curly leads

my keyboard player mate actually played with paul kossoff for a while so there was that too

i dunno.. i just find curly leads and clogs a sort of kitsch retro ironic coupling

no offence intended :-)

None taken. For me, it's functionality. I have plenty of excellent straight leads. By the third song, the one between my guitar and pedalboard has curled into loops determined to trap my feet. Alternatively, it drapes itself all over my pedals and I'm forever kicking the damn thing away.
At which point it wraps around my legs.

Coily cables are best for not tangling. 10/10 will hoon again

Hmm, when did you purchase it? They’re a regular 20 foot cable, scientifically. Happy to send you a replacement if you’ve got a faulty one!

Brian May was known for curly hair, curly guitar lead and clogs.

Start turning in the opposite direction, your dancing has a bias in One Direction.

Maybe the treble booster was because of the cable! ;)

I love my coily cables, the practicalities of not tripping over it on stage or in the bedroom when playing make them essential in my mind!

A 20m cable is a 20m metre cable, capacitance shouldn't increase because it's curly?

But it's about the feel a coily cable gives you, a straight one can't replicate that!

Yep! But it doesn't cut treble any more than a straight cable is the point we're making. :)

That treble thing has been mentioned for a long time. Do you think it's a matter of better material these days? Then again, I would've thought not... but...
