Subject: Re: [motm] patch cables advice

hello all,

we can get horizon cables in the UK,
of the guitar lengths i've been getting, they did look very much like they
were switchcraft (switchcraft use a light cream coloured insulator between
the tip and sleeve), so either they were switchcraft or they were bootlegs -
either way, i can't really tell the difference
by the way, their midi cables are top dollar (proper neutrik five pin
dins) - i've not managed to source these anywhere else in the uk (not even
studiospares, who'll sell you a neutrik, and a nasty horrible other thing
will turn up)

even

cheers
