Hi mondo - that made me laugh! Could be said of SO MUCH of what we do here!

Cheers - C




PS: Deeply ****** retentive of me, but how did you write an m-dash ( — ) in your post? Is your keyboard different than mine? I can't do that without copying over from MS Word...

Impress us? How about telling us some UFO or Ghost stories !?!?

My other guitar is a Strat.

I've been using two hyphens ( -- ) in place of an em dash in the hope that they'd join together... sometimes they do, but not on this board. Often when I post I'm on a work PC, but at home I have a Mac where the requisite combination is Shift+Option+hyphen. I don't know if it comes from the Mac's history with desktop publishing, but the keyboard shortcuts for useful punctuation are much friendlier. I don't even know how to go about it on this PC... seems like there's a lot of Alt + Function Key of some sort + 4-digit number goin' on.

P.S. "em" is a really handy Scrabble word at the end of a game...

George L's and Planet Waves.

had been using a Fender MIA fully shield cable
also have a Ibanez cable as second cable
it is used when recording from my amplifier lineout to pc

Ha! Keyboard shortcuts: of course - thank you. Dunno how to even find out what the equivalent is on a PC, but...

I wonder if the HTML for an em-dash would work in a post?

– – – . Ooo yes! Not that I can be bothered to be typing that all the time!

This has all been very silly - but I just can't be bothered to go and check what all my cables are. A goodly variety, I expect...

So much i never thought of.....i just picked up the first ones i seen when my wife got me my MIM strat back in 2004 (it was fender california) when i went to get two more 2008 i got the same (i like my stuff to match). now i need to do research and see if im missing out on anything.

One of the lifetimes cables I bought for $30.00 died so I had use something just lying around till I got it replaced. It was one of the cheap $5.00 coiled cords like EC used with John Mayall way back when. It worked fine and sounded fine. BTW, it still works. The lifetime cable ended up in the trash.

Hey Strat O Cats-

I have 2 Fender Vintage Voltage cables that I use and they have done we well. They were cheap and they hold up. I link my effects with monsters-

I agree that too much technology can get in the way of your tone. Nothing beets that hot Buttery tone of a Strat.
