Which coiled cable do you like???

 

[maresco2]

lavacable makes a really nice sounding coil cable, really durable too.

I use Bullet. http://www.coreoneproduct.com/pages/cableweb/cablehome.html

Lava Retro Coil - Very even sounding w/ attenuated top end.

Bullet Coil Cable - Very punchy midrange. Touch brighter than the Lava coil.

I also have a Fender Koil... sounds good yet bright. I wouldn't use it for high gain as it has alot of handing noise. I find it handy to keep around for using with cleaner combos as the extra top end helps out here.

Bullet - live, not in the studio. A little handling noise, some high-end loss, but generally really good. And fun on the stage.

 

[ibzmav]

most coily cables are literally heavy.. can anyone recommend a lighter one but also durable?

 

[todaystomorrow]

I bought a Vox simply to play with live and it turned out to sound quite a bit better than I expected. Plugs seem to be a bit oversized.... I've had to retighten the jack input on my Les Paul once. I've heard no more signal loss than a straight 20 footer. It's not noisy or overly dull so I'll continue to use it but I wish that the Lava offered his in another color.

VOX or Lava. Bullet was way too heavy and the coils are huge.

 

[Johnnythunders]

Have the vox white one wish Lava made them in white.

 

[Painasusual]

Bullet works for me. A vox coiled cable is on the way. We shall see if it is worth the €€

Petition drive to get Lava Man to do some colors other than orange? It would clash with my cabinet...

yeah the orange is simply ugly.

I have a Bullet coiled cable... I agree with the punchy midrange comment.

With the Bullet and Lava... does the characteristic change if you're using humbuckers or single coil guitars?

I agree. I'd love to support him with a coiled cable.... but orange is probably the last color I would choose for anything.

 

[re-animator]

He will however dominate the gretsch market with that cable.

If Lava makes a black one, I'll buy 2.

+1

even though its just a trivial thing, yeah, if they had black, or clear for that matter, id buy some for sure.

 

[In Tune]

So the consensus here is what? the Lava rules, or the other one? The Lava is 65 beans, the other is 4O beans........ I still dont know which one to get and I want ONE.

Funny, I think the orange looks great. In fact it's convinced me for the first time ever that I might want a coiled cable. Different strokes I suppose.
