best guitar cable?

[porphyria!]

hello softies, my guitar cable I got from my SX package is spoilt, cause the wire somehow broke. where can I get the best cable? as in, best for the price, cheap and good. please state the place to get the cable. better if it's ard the east or at peninsular. thanks in advance.

You can look for Beez at Roxy Square. He have Canare cables with Amphenol jacks.

can tell me the estimated price of that cable? Thank you!
haha anyway i dunno whether i am jinx or i dunno how to take care of my cables, i brought two of those 8 bucks cables, and both of them spoil super fast. but its kind weird, as when i use it at home on a 15watt amp, it works perfectly fine, provided i dun move around too much, but when i went over to jamming studios and use any amps that are above 15 watt, it just does not work.

 

[porphyria!]

to oahnuj: the cable RyanZ mentioned costs about $22. he pmed me just now.

guys, any more advice on which cables?

 

[markedymark]

planetwaves cables are ALRIGHT LAH, but need loads of taking care of.

ibanez series cables are good too.

 

[waileong]

dimarzio & monster cable.

 

[kaiwenny]

dimarzio cables cost a bomb at swee lee man -.-

 

[markedymark]

monster cables cost a bomb anywhere man.

chances are you dont need any insanely awesome cables that cost a billion dollars a metre bro.

 

[oahnuj]

K how about at cityhall dere? Which shop sells which good cable that are hardly and will not spoil that easily? haha need it by wednesday. urgenturgent. please state the estimated price too. Thank you!

U can try Tonedrive cables at SV..........only problem is, u'd hv to go all the way down to Woodlands. U can try Luther, they can custom-make cables for u; many different brands available.

 

[waileong]

yup. don't really need such professional cables. Get a luther to custom make for u.

 

[kaiwenny]

go swee lee get planet waves cables or sth. been using them for over a month now and no problems at all. only around 10-20 bucks

 

[THOA]

Pretty happy with my Ibanez cables.

try out planet waves.... i'm not too sure whether they sell the model i own cuz i've been using them for 6 years already. No problems what so ever. they even come with a lifetime warranty.

considering that it last me 6 years... i think its a gd investment. i dun think it cost more then 40 - 50 bucks.

cheers,

 

[porphyria!]

thanks for all the replies! from what I've read, I can see that planet waves and ibanez cables are good. they're all available in swee lee/ard city hall right? thanks.

the Canare stuff @ BEEZ's are also good stuff. in addition to impressive durability/ performance & plus points on durability, you can specify the cable colour & plug types. some stuff here: http://theguitaraddict.blogspot.com/2008/03/canare-cable-amphenol-plug.html

 

[thunderbird1984]

Dimarzio cables the best. it really can reduce hum n noise for those users hi gain effect or amp. comes with wide range colors as well. look cool in pedalboard too. tot it cost a bomb. but it really does the job . cheers!

I've got one planet wave cable, used for years. Sturdy and durable, downside is maybe even after so long, the stiffness of the rubber don't really die down.

Gets abit irritating to spread out and coil occasionally but apart from that, value for money definitely.

I'm considering the canare and ampl jack combi, can customise your own length too. More.... Choice?

Planet Waves and Ibanez comes in fixed length.
