CableWoe, or WTF is going on here?

Got a cable; Lava, with a factory connected G&H plug on one end and a not factory Switchcraft on the other.
From working as expected, it's lost all treble and 70% of volume.
For heavens sake, there's only 3 pieces!
I need someone smarter than me to explain please?

Chop the non factory end off and resolder?

Does the hot wire inside have a black plastic film covering It? If that touches the terminal it conducts to ground, causing a signal loss. I learned this the hard way the first time I made a cable from Mogami 2524.

Yeah grab a multimeter and see if you can measure resistance between tip and sleeve, its likely something is touching or one of the soldered connections is partially broken and shorting out.

Use another lead. Get it fixed.
