There's an 11 page thread on cables on thegearpage.net:

http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showth ... p?t=380149

If you've got the time read it, it's totally lol-worthy to see how much those posters obsessive over this sort of stuff. As someone points out on page 8:
All the time you guys spend comparing guitar cords (c'mon, that's what they're really called for crying out loud!) that cost hundreds of dollars would be better spent playing music, creating something.

I also have bullet cable. hahahaha. It's stood up to the rigors of rock, unlike the finish on my white telecaster!


I also got one of those Planet Waves pedalboarding cable kit with the screw on plugs and shit. Those shits are coming apart. FU PLANET WAVES and your $50 for 15 feet of wire and ten plugs. FU.
