Yikes... they even have a "bass" cable with "extended low frequency
response". *What a load of bs.

I won one a couple of years ago in an online contest. It *is* very good at
one particular thing: If I as much as turn 90 degrees in either direction
while playing the bass, the wire instantly tangles itself into unexplainable
knots worse than a slinky. I suppose this isn't a problem for musicians
whose shoes are nailed to the floor when they play, but that's not me.

I bought a used Telecaster one time and the guy threw in a little
practice amp and a couple of cables. They were the same way, stiff as
a board and every damned time you moved, they'd get tangled up. I
somehow got it wrapped around a mike stand and it somehow knotted
itself around it!
