AxelF Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Does anybody know anyone who makes custom cables by any chance? I've edged onto what is probably a slippery slope of wireless with a set of those 2.4G WiFi bug transmitter/receiver things, they're fantastic with one of my basses, but with the other I get a high pitched whine - bizzarely they're both Warwicks with active preamps. I'd already copper shielded the control cavity of the one that is silent, so shielded the other today - it's brought the volume down but it's still not silent. Having a look online it seems like most people's solution to this is to move the transmitter onto the strap and connect it to the bass with a short extender cable, sadly I can't find any the right length/configuration so am looking for someone to make one if possible please. I'm after right-angle male and straight barrel female connectors - ideally good quality - and about 18" in length. Thanks in advance!

AxelF Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's the Nux one, I tried the guitarists Xvibe too which had the same issue. I've tried with a headphone extension cable and moving it a couple of inches away from the control cavity is enough to stop it, so mounting it on the strap should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Cornish is typically somebody that builds your rigs, or custom rigs that you can’t buy off the shelf. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, what the OP is asking for is fairly standard.

You just tell him what you need, he makes it and sends it to you and you pay him. He runs a business part of which is making cables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Sounds good then. Not surprised he'll make them given the prices he charges! Edited November 28, 2021 by EBS_freak 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be like that, a 10m instrument cable is only a little over £100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered afternoon of day one, arrived morning of day three. Excellent service. I’ll definitely use them again Edited December 27, 2021 by Bunion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
