Where to get decent Coily Cables?

Post by Slowy »

Have a crappy one that's just failed. Proved useful so would like a grown up one. The major retailers don't seem to have much. Any ideas?

Isn't it more a case of 'when', not 'where'? :roll:

Not sure who it was who had bad experience with EB, but anyway I would expect this to be decent quality https://www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/ernie-b ... cable.html

The Vox one is great.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I have a Lava retro coil which is still going strong after 10 years. The Vox ones are good too.

I'm thinking about getting a coily cable ... mainly so I can tell which one to plug into my guitar given I seem to have a million cables laying on the floor doing various things

I have never been in a Music Planet store that stocked these. Have tried many times.
