Kabl - no longer trading

mattacjones

Anyone know? Site strongly indicates that which would be a shame. 
Any other recommendations - just need a couple of fresh cables.

Thanks

Yes, Kabl has been closed down.
There was an announcement here a while back.

HotRox do Van Damme/Neutrik cables at  good prices. I've been using a set for a few years now with no issues.

Rob said he might still do stuff on request, he just wasn't promising to supply stuff on demand anymore. Give him a shout and see what he says.

Cool, thanks. Have emailed him. If not, will give hot rox a go.

Dean at Bedford Guitars also makes top notch gear.

I just bought a few cables from Designacable who have their own website, but they also deal on ebay and amazon for Prime. This one is nice...

But I also got a few XLR's with Van Damme cable and gold Neutriks, I've had cables from them before and they're well made!

As long as you can get on with their awful website.

I've always had great service from Award Session.

I've had good products from them.

He was rather abrasive when I talked to him on the phone though.  With the benefit of hindsight, he knew his stuff, and what he was saying was right, but his way of saying it wasn't a way of endearing himself to a customer.

I bought some leads from his website a few years back (without talking to him) and they have been great.  Decent quality stuff at a sensible price.

I've used Award Session before for custom stuff before Kabl.

I have used http://www.custom-lynx.co.uk/ for quite a few Neutrik/Van Damme XLR cables and they seem fine. They trade on eBay too. I have one of their own-brand guitar cables too and it is also fine and dandy.

Stewart's a Brexiter, connection? (lol)

A  big +1 for Designacable too, excellent product and service

I make guitar to amp cables, speaker cables, drum looms, amp send and return to mic lead adapter cables, all kinds of cables for gigging muso's. 

Guitar cable is £15 for a 5 metre, add a pound for every additional metre. All Neutrik connects and top notch cable

Figure I'd bump this rather than start a new thread...  Anyone know anywhere I can get a really short (like, 25cm) male to female Midi cable made??

Google found me plenty that are a couple of metres, but I only need a really short one.  

(the footswitch port on my amp is in a hard-to-reach place, and don't want to leave 25ft of cable in the back of the combo for something I only use occasionally)

I think this guy will make up something like that:

He did email me, but too late. I went for Designacable. Seem pretty good as far as I can tell
