Back to Product Information
Sound: I recently bought the 18' Mogami Gold, and although I could hear the difference immediately, I still made the comparison with a 10' CBI Gold Rush. In a word the difference is "sweetness". No more metallic highs and mushy lows, every nuance is now clear and sweet. If you're thinking about changing pickups like I was, try the Mogami first...you might actually end up saving a hundred bucks. Feature: I wish it had come with a 52" LCD TV, but no product is perfect. Ease of Use: Just plug it in... Quality: It appears to be well made, but I won't know for sure until the year 2013. Value: It's really hard to believe that a $47 cable is a good value, but I'd be foolish enough to buy it again. Manufacturer Support: Don't need any, I can lift it by myself. The Wow Factor: It really does have that special "sex appeal", but I keep setting on the plug. Overall: I'll never stop searching for the perfect tone, but for now I'm really satisfied.

"Great for recording, but overpriced as everyday cable" submitted September 8, 2009

Back to Product Information
Sound: I am a studio session bassist in NC, and I can say that this cable has given me the best signal for recording than any other cable I've used, including Elixir and Monster. Clean signal, dead quite. This is what a cable should be. Ease of Use: Its a cable... It doesn't get much easier to use... =D Quality: Built rock solid. I gig with this cable both in the studio and playing live gigs. Value: It is what it is... I'm not going to say that paying $50+ for a cable is a good value for the everyday guitarist/bassist playing in a band somewhere in the world. However, the clear tone and clean signal this cable provides for recording musicians is good. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to reach out to Mogami for support, so I did not rate this section. The Wow Factor: Seeing how most of what I play is in the studio, I have wanted a Mogami cable for a while. I have been using my Mogami for about 4 months now, and I am very happy with it. Overall: Buy this cable if you are going to record. This may be too expensive to use for regular gigging. Besides, your tone playing live is different than when recorded because you have to EQ for the room. Therefore, a less expensive cable should be fine for playing live gigs.

Sound: It's a guitar cable...I had been using Monster Cables and learned that they expand the 1/4" input jack on my basses and guitars. Not by much but enough that I noticed when and if I had to use another brand that had a miniscule difference in size...I had experienced a popping if there was any stress on the jack and inputs. So I decided to try and find the best cable...both for sound and peformance and reliability for stage and studio. Mogami's name got me to spend the extra money they charge for their cable. I deserved it I thought...I bought a Gold 18' I think it was. I learned on the first gig that it would pop from what I later learned was the expanded 1/4" jack from the stretching of the jack from the Monster Cable jack....I contacted the Mogami people to ask about the popping and the rep got back to me a few days later and admitted there seemed to be issues with the Monster Cable jack expanding issues and that I should get the Mogami Platinum (which he offered up to trade out with me if I sent in the Gold Mogami cable) instead. So, I got the Platinum from the rep....did not really notice any sonic differences. The Platinum lasted about a month before it started crapping out onstage. The Mogami people told me I must be stepping on the cable onstage and that it was sensitive and it shouldn't be stepped on. lol...if it's a stage cable, it's gonna get stepped...things will be set on it. The Mogami rep offered up looking at the expensive Platinum but didn't return my call after that. For the money...I'd say, heat up your soldiering iron...buy some bulk Canare and some nice Neutrik ends and take a day off making a few cables and save the money.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
