Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Where to get decent Coily Cables?
in sydney i tried to get a band together with some mates doing "classic rock" covers... purple... free.. bad company...but not the obvious stuff
and a few originals in that vein
just for a laugh really
i had an old school marshall stack... speaker fabric correct... a custom shop 69 strat (white and maple neck.. naturally..)... flared jeans ("lionels") and clogs
.. and curly leads
my keyboard player mate actually played with paul kossoff for a while so there was that too
i dunno.. i just find curly leads and clogs a sort of kitsch retro ironic coupling
no offence intended

Re: Where to get decent Coily Cables?
None taken. For me, it's functionality. I have plenty of excellent straight leads. By the third song, the one between my guitar and pedalboard has curled into loops determined to trap my feet. Alternatively, it drapes itself all over my pedals and I'm forever kicking the damn thing away.philly wrote: i dunno.. i just find curly leads and clogs a sort of kitsch retro ironic coupling

At which point it wraps around my legs.

Coily cables are best for not tangling. 10/10 will hoon again

Re: Where to get decent Coily Cables?
Hmm, when did you purchase it? They’re a regular 20 foot cable, scientifically. Happy to send you a replacement if you’ve got a faulty one!AiRdAd wrote:I don't know what all the fuss is about the vox coily cables. My one is easiest the worst sounding cable I've ever had.

Maybe the treble booster was because of the cable!Polar Bear wrote:Brian May was known for curly hair, curly guitar lead and clogs.Slowy wrote:I don't get the reference but I'm sure it won't embiggen me.philly wrote:can't help with the cable but these might appeal

I love my coily cables, the practicalities of not tripping over it on stage or in the bedroom when playing make them essential in my mind!

A 20m cable is a 20m metre cable, capacitance shouldn't increase because it's curly?jeremyb wrote:Maybe the treble booster was because of the cable!Polar Bear wrote:Brian May was known for curly hair, curly guitar lead and clogs.Slowy wrote: I don't get the reference but I'm sure it won't embiggen me.

Re: Where to get decent Coily Cables?
But it's about the feel a coily cable gives you, a straight one can't replicate that!

Yep! But it doesn't cut treble any more than a straight cable is the point we're making.jeremyb wrote:But it's about the feel a coily cable gives you, a straight one can't replicate that!

That treble thing has been mentioned for a long time. Do you think it's a matter of better material these days? Then again, I would've thought not... but...Polar Bear wrote:Yep!
