Looking for a red cable with an angled plug. There don't seem to be many around. Fender california only come with straight jacks, all I can find are "
Livewire" on amazon (but the plugs look a bit like the ones on the particularly cheap first cable I bought) and Lindy, who make computer cables which doesn't inspire confidence either.
Or I could pay £40 for an Orange cable and wear coloured lenses.
Am I on a futile quest here? Was going to have a nosey round Denmark street Sunday afternoon, but ironically ended up at a 'Colour' exhibition and was then hijacked for sunday lunch (probably the better option really).

The Cali Clear Fender cables, though a bit gimmicky, are actually good cables. I'd use those and solder on an angled jack. The Custom Shop tweed cables (though not meeting your red criteria) are actually the best cables I've used, on the whole. I just got rid of a load of Planet Waves American cables tonight and they were shit, tbh.
If not I have some red cable and I could make you one (with Neutrik plugs), although it might not end up that cheap since I'm not specifically set up for making cables quickly.

I've bought from them before - decent quality cables, no problems with them so far.
They're also better made and cheaper (for equivalent quality) than most of the others.

A right-angle plug tends not to do that, and might even be less likely to pull the amp over since the usual pull on the cable is downwards, not forwards - I can tell that from the direction the sockets and the amp panels get bent in! It happens when the cable gets stood on and pulled tight, which is more common than being actually tripped on.
