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.

Don't they realize that a bass only sounds best using 500 MCM welding wire
with a color coordinated outer covering?

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!

That's what I use on stage (but Sennheiser's version). At home, though, it
seems silly to use batteries.

That's for small scale stuff. If you are building a super collider
nothing less than water cooled, solid copper bus bars will do.

I'll check them out. I've got Live Wire now, they're pretty good.
