LITTLEWING Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 After a few years of combos I've finally upgraded to an Ashdown Mag300 EVO II head into a Hartke 400w 2x 15" cab (which incidentally sounds 'kin awesome !!) I've seen adverts for hook up cables and realised I should really have a quality link to get the best out of the system. I've seen a few including Monster and Klotz around. Which cable would you seasoned low-enders recommend from your trial and error stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x18 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Try Basschats own OBBM -- He has a very good reputation for his cables, and if you get in touch with him I am sure he will sort you out at a sensible price! Will. Edited January 18, 2011 by 2x18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you have some good plugs, some top quality cable, and can wield a soldering iron without setting fire to the curtains or branding the cat, make your own. If not -- definitely OBBM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LITTLEWING Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 If they were gold plated coat hangers, then yes !! On a few member's recommendations I've ordered a 1 metre jack to jack cable from Dave at bassic-bits (OBBM). Soon as I've tried it I'll put a review on here.

All fall to your knees and hail OBBM. I just got an amp to cab lead for a bargain £13.50 and it turned my Ashdown head into an Ampeg in one swoop. This simple cable opened up the voice of the amp and made my Hartke 2 x 15" wish it was never born. Forget all these fancy makes and glitzy websites, Dave at bassic-bits is da man. I might just make up a T-shirt...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 They really do make a difference, don`t they? His instrument leads are just as good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
