don't compromise your sound when it only costs you $10 more =)
oh and yea, brandless ones spoil fast, even with good care. so far the longest one is the one im still using now as a backup cable, its been about a year old and it still works. the copper wires inside will bend easy tho.

those brandless ones right? they spoil really fast when u bring them for jamming outside, esp when its compressed in your bag or not coiled properly. for home practice i think they're fine! cuz they do decrease sound quality by just a bit. i carry one with my multi-fx board just in case i need an extra patch cable.
i've had many bad experiences with them, some being going to a jamming room, finding a shitty cable and the guy doesnt wanna change it for me because it works (it only works when i DONT move at all. means taht if i turn one bit, lotsa pop crackle noise comes out, i.e. lose connection within the cable) or when at a gig some dude uses this bad cable and he thinks its fine and he doesnt wanna change it and it makes lotsa noisy sounds. bleah

wow that's long! i think mine's 15ft... for performances and moving around on the stage, get a planet waves one (its soft and will take shape to where u move so u wont easily trip over it) or a peavey one that's cased in fabric (they're more durable even if u step, trip or whatever)

i believe the most important is you yourself, the musician! but of course there are lotsa factors for a good gig, like a good sound tech/pa, decent monitors (they help u remain tight as a band esp when u play loud) equipment that doesnt make unwanted noises (good cables! good connections!) and decent amps/acoustics =)
well of course you could just go a simple gig and most of the above wont matter, but c'mon honestly, as musicians, don't u wanna sound good?

well , i recently bought a cable from luther. its the ones with neutrik heads. so far so good. my Best cable was the silver dimarzio one that lasted me almost 2-3 years. it cost me $40 at that time man .... but for 2-3 YEARS. it was a good buy.
planetwaves one hasnt failed yet.
spend more buy a good cable. wont want a stupid cable to screw up your gig.
