Being a successful working musician is more difficult today than it's ever been and it is more important than ever to stretch every dollar of your investments in gear if you're going to make such a career profitable. In this video we'll talk about the basic skill of instrument cable repair. You don't have to be an electronics guru to be able to use a soldering iron, and salvaging broken guitar, instrument, or speaker cables is something that can and will save you hundreds or thousands of dollars over your lifetime as a musician or sound engineer, and it could mean the difference between a great performance or an impossible one.
STUFF YOU'LL NEED:
1: A Broken Cable
2: Wire strippers/clippers: amzn.to/3xtIUja
3: Soldering Station (This one has built-in helping hands): amzn.to/3vmRH4h
4: 1/4" Phone Plug: amzn.to/3xnqa4N
5: 1/2" Shrink Tubing (cheaper by the roll): amzn.to/32Ro9zw
6: This is the solder I like: amzn.to/32QKDRm
I prefer 60/40 composition. rosin core. 0.032 Diameter
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
1: Donate via Paypal: paypal.me/guitologist?locale....
2: Buy Merch: bit.ly/GuitologistMerch
3: Send in Viewer Mail. (Contact Me for details at bradlinzy@gmail.com )
4: Purchase an ad! (Rate sheets available upon request at email above.)
5: Buy something from a sponsor and tell them I sent you.
6: Stand in the middle of the street naked screaming "LONG LIVE THE GUITOLOGIST!" Then when the cops arrive, tell them about my channel.

Time for a new Solder Tip Brad! Like yourself I've been soldering for many Decades and find an old Solder Tip more of an annoyance more than anything else. That said, an individual new to soldering would be much better served with a newer/thinner tip design. Either way great content, and yeah, we all love fixing our cables.......................ugh/sigh

Back in 1975 I purchased a 50' Whirlwind Instrument Cable. I still have that very same cable and still use it regularly. Originally starting off at 50' in length it's now only an 8' cord...........LOL I did get my money's worth as the original solid brass Military-Grade connector ends are still very serviceable.

Everybody should practice proper soldering... It does take practice and good equipment. This tutorial reminds me of fixing cables as a kid before I started repairing people's broken 8-track tapes that were eaten by their dirty machines. It was extra to clean the transport in the deck that caused the jamb, most of which were in cars until they migrated into console stereo TV's. Good post Brad!

This is some of the best "hobbyist" soldering I've seen. Using a good high-heat tip (instead of a conical tip), pre-tinning conductors and terminals, using smaller diameter solder for good control and proper flux dispersion, heating the surfaces instead of the solder, not using crappy cheap solder. I've seen soldering on other guitar channels especially that is, shall we say, not something to aspire to.

Been doing this for decades, but still loved watching Brad confirm that I haven't been doing it wrong for all that time ! Reminds me of the problem with old curly-cables that would crackle as they stretched ... so, straight and fair quality cables only for me these days. However, maybe things have changed and curly-cables are better now ... ? I think that the advent of non-board-mounted floor pedals also solidified the use of straight cables, as otherwise you'd catapult your pedals across the floor without realising !!! 😂 Thanks for the content Brad ... It was also nice to see someone else doing this particular repair for a change.

After 5 or 6 cheap cables I soldered my longest bad cable right into the input jack. MY Crate G80 didnt mind much. Lol But it lasted long enough to buy a nice metal plug(1987) and i actually still have it today. Its never failed with thousands of hours of use. Back then they cost a lot more, but today you can buy decent 10'-15' cables for $5-10. thanks for sharing this t(r)ip, down memory lane!

Brad : "I hope you got something outta this..." Me - yea, a good chuckle. I say you forget the cap and then put the shrink on first. Cable repair was one of the first things I learned as a kid. Yet sometimes I forget to put the cap on the wire before soldering too. Glad I'm not the only one. Also I leave a small "S" in the conductors just in case the crimped part doesn't hold. Could mean the difference between ending a song with the rest of the band, or going out early. Just a thought. Good topic tho.

I needed picks or something and found myself inside a guitar center. A kid (probably 16 or 17) came in & wanted his strings changed. I was about 7 when I started playing guitar. Before I was 10 I was changing my on strings repairing cables changing out drum heads (I started drums about the same time). I didn’t take any guitar lessons back then. But I was taught how to tune my guitar and change the strings.

Good video. I've been carrying out such repairs for years. One point needs emphasing; if you can help it, don't use cheap jack plugs - they are fragile, unreliable and will always let you down at the worst possible time. I used to pay around £5 per jack (UK), but worth it. Leads may break but you can reuse the jacks. They'll last a lifetime.

Ah yes, isn’t it great when you‘ve gotten nice and neat solder joints and realize you’ve forgotten the sleeve of the plug. 🤣

And it's the prettiest connections you always seem to have to undo. :D

Monster cables aren't all they're cracked up to be. They made many of those harder or impossible to fix the plugs. They use these high quality plugs, but they epoxy the end connections.
