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.

Testimonial:

I had an outstanding experience with Rattlesnake Cables. They went above and beyond by making me a custom cable—at a better price than a longer "standard" option from the big manufacturers. The quality is absolutely top-notch, and you can tell they really care about their work. What impressed me even more was the personal touch—they actually sent me a custom video thank-you message. That kind of genuine customer care is rare these days and shows how much pride they take in their products and their relationships with musicians. If you need cables that are built to last and backed by fantastic service, I can't recommend Rattlesnake Cables enough.

Hank not only provides the best cables but also the best customer service! I was floored when I got my first snake head cable. I put it against my Conquest, Lava, Spectraflex and Mogami cables and it's such low capacitance that it brought more sparkle back into my signal. I've now added two more... Read

Hank not only provides the best cables but also the best customer service! I was floored when I got my first snake head cable. I put it against my Conquest, Lava, Spectraflex and Mogami cables and it's such low capacitance that it brought more sparkle back into my signal. I've now added two more instrument cables and did my pedalboard with all Rattlesnake patch cables. The build quality is top notch and sound is superior to any other cable out there! Superhuman quick shipping, friendly and quick responses to emails and orders! I purchased 2 snake head instrument 15' & 20'. 1 standard cable 20' and a 6 pack of 6in patch and a 10 pack of multi-length patch cables.
