I have a 10 foot Planet Waves cable which has jack plugs with special raised areas on the main shaft to keep the jack central in the input socket.
I've been trying to get another for use in my band's studio but can't trace a UK stockist.
Any Ideas please?

Hi Baz According to their website they are in stock at Manson's Guitar shop Exeter: www.mansons.co.uk/product/searchHope that helps Gary I just discovered that link above is just general for their search page, you need to enter Planet in search field and they are on the third page. Phil's comment below is interesting as they are described as speaker cables, there are Planet instrument cables on the same page, but they don't have the same compression fittings? |

Baz I don't think it's to keep the jack central, I think it's to stop it pulling out easily, anyway...normal jack leads are good for studio use! Phil |

Thanks Guys.
Have now found that Planet Waves have a new generation of these plugs for instrument cables which are described as having compression springs built into the main shaft and a search on "the site that shall be nameless" has provided one or two suppliers.

Now obtained from "the Wee Guitar Shop"..........(they don't say what size a "Wee " guitar is.  ) As Phil C has posted, in normal use there is little need for this type of lead; but the other guitarist in my band has a early Telecaster on which he refuses to have any parts replaced. The jack socket has developed wear over the years which means that he can get signal dropout when a normal jackplug momentarily loses contact with the socket........This type of plug keeps firm contact and has solved the problem. Looking at Planet Waves website, Looks like they may have dropped them anyway. Baz |
