24k gold plated plugs, Compression Spring Connectors, and Double-Insulated/Double Shielded Cable makes for clear signal. I don't pick up the Spanish Radio Station any more!
Elastic Cable Tie is convenient for wrapping up cable
Haven't had it long enough to gauge reliability, but I'm sure it will last longer than the cheap cable I originally bought with my bass. Besides, you can't go wrong with Lifetime Guarantee. Nevertheless, I bought a second Planet Waves cable as a gig backup.
Soldering points not accessible, but you can turn it in for a new one if it goes bad.
Well, I had good cables, and wasn't going to upgrade, as I thought the cost was a little much...but a friend had one, and I played with it, and it sounded awesome! Then someone gave me one, and when I heard how good it sounded in my rig, I immediately set out to replace all the cables in my rig with Planet Waves!
I highly reccommend these cables, and urge everyone to try them out...you won't be sorry!

The gold plated connectors and the compression springs makes sure that the signal goes from my bass directly to my amp withouth loss or alteration. I use 1 cable (The PW-GRA-10) going from my bass to my effects unit, and then another (PW-G-10) from the effects unit to my amp. These cables don't need anything else at all!
The cable definitly holds up for live gigs and sessions. I've used them live twice now, and both times you could tell there was a HUGE difference in the quality of the sound...and I didn't use cheap cables before, either!
The only other Planet Waves Product I'm familiar with is the Grip Master, which I liked, and have actually ordered another one!
The connectors are double-molded, so I can see why they're comfortable providing a lifetime warranty for this product...I think you'd have to cut it or do something really stupid and careless to break these cables.
