Bass thru guitar cable. SAEF?

Are there different bass cables for active vs. passive pickups?

But the more high tones it has to reproduce the less of my precious 600 watts will be available to deliver chest-pounding bass POWER, right?

Any quality cable is fine. Don't believe el hype.

They're engineered to ensure that all my instrument’s warmth, presence, and full-bodied overtones are precisely reproduced.

I have important questions about rocking (and jazzing) that must not go unanswered!

Has anyone done relic cables yet?

I think you're onto something here.

You don't want to plug that Fender Closet Classic or Gibson VOS (let alone yr higher-end Nash's and whatnot) into yr tweed Victoria with just any old cable.

That would mean the guitarist borrows their cable from someone else in the band or the opening act.

They also make MIDI cables! This is just what I've been looking for to fix that timing problem that keeps cropping up using my hand-finished zebrawood Zendrum to control my Waldorf. If only Monster would hurry up and come up with a FireWire to help ensure the perfect reproduction of the warmest and most powerful bits from my recording interface to my Mac.

I just assumed it was all played out!

JJ, don't even start with the audiophiles. Musicians are superstitious and easily bullied. Audiophiles just have a thing for nude emperors.

Well, according to BBE, the sonic maximizer "time-aligns the phase relationship between horn drivers and traditional cone drivers according to a complex algorithm that is based on response curves formulated from physical modeling of real-time measurement specifications." (this is from literature packets that they distributed before various stuido and live engineers called bullshit on their claims, which are strangely absent from the current website.)

In reality, it's a black-box EQ that paved the way for the suckitude of nu-metal guitarists far and wide, and is completely without merit in a studio environment. Despite what they may claim, it's one step beyond the "aural exciter" craze of the late 80's, pioneered in the consumer audio market by the Audio Logic pa-88.

Feh. I call bullshit.

Wow.

^wtf @ this. It's a fucking electrical conductor ffs.

So, I buy cheap shit(except my guitars...ooooohno) and then somehow it lasts forever.

Oh normanpaws...

THEN POUR.

I swear to god, I'm going to go out and start a rumor that the height differential from one end of the cord to the other is key, because the electrons slide down the cord faster due to gravitational pull.

"In order to improve guitar performance in my studio, I drilled a hole through the floor of my moms bedroom and stood directly above my amp. The difference was undeniable..."

Let no cork go unsniffed.

For instance, that thread about cable DIRECTION making a difference. Obviously total hokum. BUT vertical orientation makes a huge difference. If you have the bass side of the cable on top, all of the heavy low frequencies fall on top of your highs and SMOTHER YOUR TONE. So make sure you have Bass on the Bottom and Treble on Top (BB/TT = handy mnemonic because lord knows guitar players need the help.)
