There is nothing I can do to fix the Monster Cable problem. By their own admission, they use what they call a type '2' plug. That seems to be the problem. Any normal cable is fine in my opinion. The Monster is only good when the jack is worn and needs a tighter fit. Using this cable early on will strip the inner spring of the barrel jack.

Remedy! But several extra Jacks from us and use any super duper claimed cable you like. It wont make you play better but you might feel good spending a lot of money on a cable with tons of advertising.

I have never used Monster other than once at a trade show and then they gave me a bunch for free for all the 100s of Jacks they killed. Still, I don't use one. I will use anything but a Monster unless it's all that's available. I take 2 cables with me and neither is a Monster.

I guess Robert and I are the fortunate few . Works for me .

Bravo Ken!!!

That cable is and always will be a input Killer!! i though it was the input jacks that were bad, but low and behold it was the monster. NEVER AGAIN in my Smith basses. Ken thanks for the new input jack, sooooooooooo easy to install, works great.

So, Ken, is it fair to assume you don't like Monster cables, lol, .

Hey Smith Brothers, check out this custom truss rod cover for my BTEG6.

Hey Ken, i will do better than the contract. I will play your bass and no other bass, so all can hear and buy. At over 100 gigs a year and word of mouth, you will make soooo much more than you could ever get from a contract. Lol....
