+1 for these.

The instrument cables I got from them have been great & trouble free for a few years now.

All of the cable "makers" mentioned here build them from commercially available cable and plugs so I dont know why more musicians dont build their own - been doing this for years, good cable like Canare and switchcraft plugs, job done

Now, not wishing for this to appear like a trolling post, surely the point of cables like OBBM removes the necessity of having "been doing this for years" in that you buy ones that last?

This. Or OBMM as many other said. Clear Tone (Award Session) have decades of business experience as an amp (and later accessories) designer and maker. I don't know the background of OBMM but he knows what he's doing and is reliable and serious. OBMM and Cleartone are the only two sources I'd approach for my cabling needs.

Looks like there's a lot of love for OBBM on here, which in itself is possibly the best advert any business can get; however I've not used them (yet - may do next time though!). I've only had limited needs for cables as a relatively new player, and then only for home use, but I've found [url="http://www.designacable.com/live-stage-leads/instrument-leads.html"]Designacable [/url]really good. Using the menu facility you can build the cable you want in terms of connectors, cable type and length etc; they then build the cables from scratch and mail 'em out.

Possibly ten years ago, he made a ten foot cable. A couple of years later, one for an Amp and Speaker Cabinet.
A couple of years later, some Patch Cables.Then some spares etc. And all still in use?
I presume that's what he means. :)
