Upright Snake Head Cable

Over the years, we've been making a variety of cables for upright bass / double bass players. They've been a fan of our popular Snake Head style cable where the weaving stops short on the instrument side of the cable. The upright bass players prefer this for their finish, also allowing for a bit more flexibility to wrap around their tailpiece, etc.

We talked to a few upright bass players and are now offering a specific cable for these instruments. It uses the same underlying instrument cable as our Standard and Snake Head, etc. But the one change we are adding is the plug on the Snake Head side of the cable. We are using G&H Right Angle GGN (same as our Pro Patch) and G&H Straight (GN) for the instrument plug? We chose this to provide a lighter solution and a plug with a slimmer profile compared to the Neutrik plugs. On the other end of the cable (the side that would be connecting to an amp / pre-amp, etc) we will go with our Standard Neutrik Gold Plugs.

We wanted to offer the G&H Right Angle - ideal of 1/4" jacks mounted between the A and D string. With newer set ups like The Shadow Rockabilly Pro, the G&H Straight Plug might be the best option.

Some of you players might also require a TRS cable. Contact us via the Custom Cable Build Request form, and we can help you out with that solution.

Found Rattlesnake through a Google search for Humbuster cables as Fractal doesn't seem to offer shorter than 15ft, and they didn't have in stock at the time. I'm really happy I went with Rattlesnake, Hank and team have been very communicative and prompt in getting what I needed to my doorstep in little to bo time. The customization options are a great plus and was the defining factor for me to buy my cables from Rattlesnake. The quality is the best I've experienced, definitely worth their price.

Testimonial:

Rattlesnake coils. How could you go wrong? I have always loved vintage coiled cables. Unfortunately, they are not made very well for the most part. The Rattlesnake coils are unbelievable. I can't believe how much they weigh. And you can tell the wire is great quality and will last a really long time. I play mostly at home and while moving around to program tones and presets in my pedalboard, regular cables always seem to get in the way. They get caught on things and get tangled. These coils are strong and bounce back from 10' or more nicely. I got one in green and one in red. The connectors are solid and strong too. The quality of the sound from my guitar is exponentially better than just about all my other cables and I have at least one that cost more than these. They are obviously the same quality as my other 2 Rattlesnake cables but they put all the others to shame.

Thoughts about our Service:

These days, presentation is everything because quality is usually lacking drastically. But this company takes it's work seriously and makes sure you not only make a purchase that you will enjoy and use, but have an experience when you open the box. You can tell the care that goes into ever order. Your items are neatly packed in burlap pouches and meticulously arranged and presented so that when you open it, you feel like you just bought a new sports car or something. The personalized thank you note is a classy move and lets you know you're not just a number. And most of all, the product is great and comparably priced to other inferior cables. Whenever I need new cables, I visit rattlesnakecables.com because I know I am getting the best bang for my buck and Hank loves what he does. All the best, Hank,

What was purchased:

I have purchased 2 standard cables, one in snakeskin and one in sage. Both are so well-made and strong. The sound clarity is amazing. I just purchased 2 coiled cables and a pick tin with my initials on it.

Testimonial:

I bought a Humbuster cable hoping to solve my issue with whine/hum while using my guitar and AxeFx FM9 setup while also connected to a PC workstation/DAW (USB ground issues). It worked! Cool, clean silence at last! The Snake Weave on the cable is badass, and you can tell this cable is top quality. When I need to replace my existing cables I'll be calling Hank.

Thoughts about our Service:

Excellent.

I placed an order for 2 cables, both the snake head version. One in red the other in their limited Oxblood. Both 15'. Already had a standard in Dirty Tweed that I got at Christmas and have been using exclusively. The sound from these gives more depth, clarity and range not found anywhere else. I couldn't believe what a difference a cable could make. I got the Oxblood for my bass and the red for guitars. These are the only cables I will use now. Others have been retired. They came fast, within 2 days. Got a personal thank you video from owner, thanks Hank, something I have never gotten from any other company. Let me know when build was started and when order went in mail. They are first class all the way. Came with box full of goodies, each in it's own drawstring bag (cool!) And a note pad with personal thank you note on front page. This is the best thing you can ever do for your guitar(s) and amp(s)!! Nothing better! Customer service was great, fast and personal. I ordered: 15' snake head in Oxblood 15' snake head in Red

So GOOOD!! I purchased a 20 foot seafoam gold end beginning of lockdown, and the tonal improvement was literally WIDE EYED WOW! Love the heavy duty, and wayyy quieter (like microphonically much quieter than a fatsoflex even and those were my live "quiet" cord standard). So,during live stage (lour volume) use, I was using a big name $$$ cable. The Rattlesnake Seafoam Snake Head gold ends direct to Mesa Mark 4 (a noisy higher gain amp) dethroned that. Really big difference. Quieter and just overall clearer and better sounding, straight to amp, secret weapon! So I decided to do my whole pedalboard in Mean Green gold ends. The improvement again, in clarity and just bigger overall sound, hard to describe. So much worth the $$$ that I'm measuring out all my fx cables, dozen or so amp sends from my board and any other signal cables flowing through my rig. Mean Green of course. *I'd like to mentions, the turnaround time, was ONE DAY from order to ship!!! NO himmmhawwing or excuses. I emailed an order for 10 custom cables Thursday. An hour or so later Hank had already helped me further refine my order for my board exactly, and it was completed and shipped Friday. Hank also made me a personalized thank you video. Model business. Perfect service. The cables are SO much better than my hodgepodge, spaghetti bowl of mixed "quality brands I won't name. No need. They're all getting sold and like I said, a dozen amp or more cables from board (10-20 footers there), some fx cables, rack cables and some others are on the list to order now. I'd absolutely recommend these wires to anyone looking to upgrade their guitar signal chain. Without hesitation and without buying into internet snakeoil, BUY a Rattlesnake guitar cable and see for starters HOW much better they sound. SO good!! THOUGHTS ABOUT OUR SERVICE: Amazing. Top notch!! I'll also give a shout in facebook and ig! WHAT WAS PURCHASED: 20' Standard in Retro Sea Foam with Neutrik Right Angle Gold to Neutrik Straight Gold Snake heads Pedalboard order: 10 cables, 5 different sizes
