This is a picture of David Gilmours effects.
Anyone have any idea what those insane beefy cables are connecting them all? Thanks

Ive also seen guitar cables like that,except it its a straight 1/4th inch plug,not angled.It looks like a small coke bottle or something...

I would also like to know where such cables can be had..

I'm sure they're custom made cables. You can get some George L cables which are similar. You just cut off the length of cable you need, stick the cable into the jack, screw the end of the jack on VERY CAREFULLY which cuts into the cable to make the ground, and there you go.

these are cloth wrapped cables. They are quite common you can find then on line at places like Musiciansfriend. Fender even make a similar style called vintage electrovolt cables.

Personally, when I want really nice cable I use Mogami. I switched from Monster as they are not what they used to be. I ordered half a dozen Monster 100 18" cables the other day they turned up and they had these ****ty sealed up molded ends !! Baaa !

Anyway Mogami are my favorites at the moment. Not that cheap but very nice.

I assume you got the 'standard 100's'?What kind of mogami are you using...ive been looking at the gold.Also zaolla cables...a half dozen 18 foot zaollas would run me a months paycheck!

Ive also been seeing lots of advertisment for george L's cables...they look like twizlers candy.
