Cheers.[/quote] OBBM seems to be the man - plenty of happy customers on here. Do a search. I make my own, but I respect the fact that a) he doesn't constantly spam the list to flog his products and doesn't slag off the competition at the drop of a hat. Because I make my own, I can tell you that he uses the best quality parts. Edited May 18, 2009 by stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: On thick day in Thickton.[/quote] When Mr Lager says 'Monster speaker cables' he is not recommending Monster (tm) speaker cables! (If you want to dispose of that much money then buy an OBBM cable and give the rest to charity rather than a litigious Monster of a company).

Standard copper, found in household wiring and many budget audio cables, is known as tough pitch copper. This contains 500 to 750 parts per million of oxygen and this will cause the copper to oxidise." Oh dear. At least they didn't mention skin effect.

tayste_2000 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 OBBM Cables are great I prefer them over Lava and Planet Waves and his instrument leads are actually cheaper than either. Just had him do me an X2 wireless cable, Series speaker lead and a 30ft Instrument lead. I've been using a custom pedalsnake he made for me for over 3 years now and it's still flawless. Also getting your cables in colours from him helps identify them when thieves strike at gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
