Not really designed to carry the current it is more for signal we have them in stock
If you can't solder cut the cable in the middle and add a bit with chocolate blocks will look ugly but work

it`s because he didn't want to extend the hard way
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I used one of those with my Swart Night Light.

Does the job well.

I can't solder.

My mates took my man card off me years ago.

I need to take the back off the Marshall to check as I just shone a torch in and pulled the lead and it's about a foot short so probably 3 foot would be fine
Just not sure how the ends are connected to the speakers tho
I'll have a gander tonight

I was looking at something like this

Oh, connecting speaker out from carvin head to the speakers in a 2x12 combo? I thought you meant a 2x12 extension cab.

Those george L's look the proper job if you're not into soldering.

Are we talking about this kind of cable? Even all this typing seems too much effort compared to just buying one!
