Shorted Out

This cable worked great until it inexplicably just stopped working, about 3 months after I got it. It made loud buzzing sound every time I would move the cable in the tiniest of ways. Additionally, there is no way I could have taken it apart to see if I could fix it. I wouldn't recommend this cable.

I bought a total of four of these each for a member in the band to use as their primary instrument cable and every one shorted out within a couple of months.

Better than the custom series...

I used the custom series with the compression springs for years, but decided to try the custom pro line. I bought this cable and compared it back and forth with my custom series PW cable. There were less "artifacts" in the sound. Seemed like there was extra hiss and distortion in the Custom pro. The Custom Pro also seemed to have more mids present. Overall, I think this is the best cable PW makes and one of the better store bought ones you can get.

I have used PW cables for years, but I think there is better out there. After talking to many people and reading many reviews, I think I am going to go with Canare cables. I will compare them to the Custom Pro line, but I have a feeling there will be an improvement, and for a cheaper price as well.

Like playing through a high-pass filter. Great if you don't want to hear those pesky low and low-mid frequenies. Very hard sounding, not at all smooth. Sound has less "air" than my cheap ProCo. If you listen with your eyes you'll like it. Otherwise forget it.

Work well in the studio

I have a home recording studio and often encounter problems when guys bring in bad cables. I quickly have them switch out their cables to the Planet Waves cables I own. No more humming, crackling, loss of signal and so on. They save time which is money when you're in a studio. They also play better and lay down better tracks because they can concentrate on the music instead of trying to keep their cables from making noise. Just remember, "DON'T twist the plug in or out! Push it straight in, pull it straight out!" There are better cables out there,
