Gee, I wonder if Jimi Hendrix or say Eric Clapton or any of the other
great's cared this much about all this fuss?
Some how it doesn't matter,just play the damn music already.
Piece! Laughing
Absolutly have to agree on this one. Some of the biggest players
don't give a **** about their gear, and sometimes pay a tech to set
it up for them.
Usually it's session players who really dig into gear, or those who
got a home studio, or some that spend more time reading and raving
about gear than playing.
I don't know if a 13000$ cable or even a 250$ cable will sound "better".
I think there is a real limit to that. But there is a difference between a
cheap cable that comes with the instrument and a 30$ cable like a Planet
Waves. At least for the handling noise, and the plug that will stay in the jack instead of falling by itself.
I've tried Monster Cables from a friend, and they're the same as other
30$ cables, except those cost 120$ (Studio Pro)... I like the solid fell
when they're in my hand, or the plug design, and the color... but that's it.
I think what's really important is to have a good shielded cable that will
give you a strong signal (like dual or quad core) and will of course virtually indestructible if you plan gigging with it.
But I wonder if Clapton or Hendrix had that much Cell phones, Wireless rfouters, radio signals, and everything else that makes recording a freaking nightmare nowadays...
