any curly cable solutions?

[dfvxc]

I took the advice of some JCFers and now I make my own cables from Canare.

I love them except they keept curling up [img]/images/graemlins/sick.gif[/img]

Are these the old Radio Shack phone cord lookin things?
I thought the solution to that was to use straight cable [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

You could also try not turning in circles when you play, or at least turn in the opposite direction more often.

Get those cloth-wrapped cables that slip off each other instead of curling.

Coat your cable in vaseline, that way they don't stick together.

Use a wireless system. Problem solved........

Thanks for the replies guys.

hmm.. it seems I do unconsciously turn clockwise for some reason.

I straightened the cable and hung it so it's straight, for a day, and now it stopped curling up!

Yeah, I tend to spin in one direction too and tangle the cable when I have room to "roam" while playing. I wonder if I'd spin in the opposite direction if I were south of the equator? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
