klotz la grange are the way to go.

they dont sound brittle, very even response with a nice bottom end, low capacitance, and not heavy on the wallet. P110 a meter, then score the neutrik plugs. been happy with mine for years.

I believe it's 80 PHP a meter.

Suggest you -

1) Surf, research, understand WHAT (electrical, mechanical, sonic) PROPERTIES are best suited for INSTRUMENT CABLES;

ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND, COMPREHEND, HAVE MADE PROPER RESEARCH THEN,

2) Understand how cable length (and it's attendant electrcial, mechanical, sonic properties) will affect your sound;

3) Surf and compare various manufacturers' cables and their claims (get user ratings more importantly)

4) Never believe advertisements without the above 3 steps. . .

THEN YOU CAN MAKE AN INTELLIGENT DECISION.

i dont recommend Fender Cables at all... they are terrible, especially reliability wise.

as for me... i still havent found the right cables for me. id probably get some monster cables soon though.

yeah! -1 for the fender california cables. I had one and wala pang isang linggo sira na. Putol ang wire sa loob ng jack. And medyo stiff ang cable nya.

Right now Im using cables that I bought from Jb music. Di ko alam tatak. Reliable naman kasi hanggang ngayon ayos pa. But I wana replace them. I'm gona assemble klotz cables and neutrik plugs. So far ok ang ginagawa kong patch cables using klotz and flat type plugs.

Had a Fender california cable for about 2 years til it ended up in the garbage bin. I use Planet Waves now but I've had one fail me as well, one of its compression springs on the cable end snapped while i was yanking it out of my tuner. Messed up the input jack real bad and eventually cost me a tuner. Buti di sa gitara nangyari. I assumed it was a lemon and I'm still convinced they make very good quality cables. I still use the Custom Pro cables and the pedalboard kit, they dont have those annoying compression springs and even come with a limited lifetime warranty.

George L's are great for pedalboards too but a tad too flimsy as an instrument cable for me.

DO NOT USE MONSTER CABLES

A quick google search will explain why. Theyve been known to have issues on false advertising and overpricing (80% markup!). Theyre even known for suing every trademark that has "monster" in its name (even the movie Monsters Inc).

same here with boogsy....used a california cable for a while,then i bought planet waves cables (1 plain cable / 1 circuit breaker)...made my life easier when changing guitars...no more "noise"...i'd definitely recommend it...im getting very clear tones through these...

the Klotz La Grange is Audiophile's best kept secret. check this out:

http://www.lavacable.com/cable101.html

one review there even puts the La Grange better than the George L. YMMV of course.

and if you do your research, you'll find that the La Grange will be one of the most affordable of all the (locally available) cables mentioned in the articles.

based on my experience, it's my favorite cable for strats. on my LP, though, my Sommer Spirit wins because of even-ness on all pickup positions.

planet waves?

Used to be. Not anymore. I bought two PW Circuit Breaker cables and didn't last more than 6 months. Pure luck.

I swore to these cables some few years ago but it seems they don't last a lifetime anymore...

Vovox is by far the best in clarity, definition and balance IMHO. AB'ed it with a couple of cables and this really stood up with flying colors. Havent got one yet but had tried out Ians(Poundcake). Cant wait!

Totally agree. I'd love to upgrade to Vovox as soon as possible, haha. Ian, pabili!:P

+1. but best over all in my experience is planet waves. lasts. works well. a friend told me that in regards to cables/shielding, it's total b/s when you go over $20.

as for Vovox cables, yeah. night and day diff. amazing cables. but cant justify it's cost just yet. probably in the future. as for patch cables. used planet waves and now using GL's plugs and .155 cables(guilty). was supposed to go monorails but it's twice the price of GL's.

LOL...IMO the best cable under $20 is the Vox CLASS A...I mean really.

get the ones without the circuit breakers. they should last you around 5 years.

audiophile sells neutriks. amphenols are another good choice also, pero sa mga behringer stores naman yun.
