They are fantastic for small spaces, they take up very little room and you don't end up tripping over them while playing :)

For me, this is the one and only reason.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I have never been in a Music Planet store that stocked these. Have tried many times.
I ended up with a white one because it was either that or silver in stock. But I'm sure they could order one in if you asked.

My Vox coily cable is silver.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Mine is red. Or at least, Polar Bear told me it was red.

But it's not.

Oh no......

It's PINK

And I don't just mean pink

I mean Domanatrix Pink.

It glares at me from across the room.

I can't look away....................
