jeremy c Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here's a new product we don't really need. I've been wondering when curly cables were coming back. http://static.musiciansfriend.com/derivates/6/001/505/621/DV019_Jpg_Regular_585649.008_orange.jpg And it's only $65! Free download of my cd!.

kenfxj Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Well that's a new idea. I wonder why someone didn't think of that decades ago. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 They've been back for a couple of years now. Vox has been selling them. And do you know what they advertise as their desirable feature? They say the deliver "that vintage sound", like coily cables sounded way back in the day. And you know, I bought one, and they're right. It brought back a strange funkiness to my sound I failed to realize that I didn't miss until I heard it for a while. Moral of the story; "vintage sounding" does not automatically equal "good"... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Danelectro has had vintage batteries (non-alkaline) out for a while. I suppose they will make your vintage Ibanez tube screamer sound better. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddiePlaysBass Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I absolutely hate curly cables. Singer of my previous band got one from his wife, and wasn't thrilled about it either. That's about as close as he ever came to an intelligent music-related remark. "I'm a work in progress."

butcherNburn Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Danelectro has had vintage batteries (non-alkaline) out for a while. I suppose they will make your vintage Ibanez tube screamer sound better. Well, it is hard to find non-alkaline 9 volts these days and the older pedals do like them. One came in my Danalectro Honeytone amp and I must admit it lasted pretty long. I always thought that those curly cords would be annoying. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

plangentmusic Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I always thought curly cables looked cool and the stretchability makes sense. Of course, they get tangled up terribly and break soon afterward -- for those too young to remember.
