[Harp-L] Re: Vol. Controls

[diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've been using the Planet Wave cable for a couple of years now and was first to mention it on Harpl.

If you gig on a regular basis you can count on the switch working for about 1 to 1 1/2 years before it gives out.
Save your store receipt (I bought mine at Guitar Center) since the cable has a lifetime warranty.
I've replaced two so far. 

 For lo z mic users you can buy a cable with a rotory  on/off built into the line.  Hendrik Meurkens
turned me onto it a few years ago. Great for vocal or harp use on non switchable mics.  Crate makes those.

I have a couple of external volume controls that I use mostly as on and off 
switches. The other thing I've been using is a Planet Waves cable with a 
integrated on and off switch in the plug on one end. I feel in good company 
because if you watch the Jimmy Reed Highway show on Austin City Limits, 
James Cotton and Kim Wilson play through a JT-30 using the same cable.
