Jan 11, 2007 01:20 pm Hit up RadioShack for some extension cables. Stay away from the curly ones IMO. Actually I think they call it Circuit City now, at least here in Canada.

Ya know, that'd make a nice t-shirt slogan ;)
Jan 11, 2007 01:36 pm Get the thick cables. The investment is worth it. Those skinny ones can only be yanked or stepped on a few times.

Speaking of headphone extensions, anyone putting wireless to use? It there such thing as some sort of body pack? I absolutely hate cables and would like to free myself of this "ball and chain" when I'm tracking or jamming.

Jan 11, 2007 01:38 pm Yup, I bought two 6ft extenders at my local music shop. They are a tad thicker and have been abused to no end, still kickin though.

Jan 11, 2007 09:15 pm Yep, Radio Shack has a great bullet proof one that is straight not curly. 25' job as well. I think it was around $10.00 or something I use them here and they have been stomped on and the like and still work great.
