WTB: Cable to connect my guitar to my Mac

[someguy]

Something like this (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/3.RSLID?mco=B203C677&nplm=TA399LL%2FA) would be excellent, but I'm really not looking to spend $25 if I can help it. I'm very strapped for cash (like always).

It doesn't have to be that model cable, although that particular one is very nice. :D

Even a simple adapter like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/HOSA-GMP-386-Mono-1-4-to-Stereo-1-8-Audio-Adapter-NEW_W0QQitemZ260039911494QQihZ016QQcategoryZ23783QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem) would work, but I'd rather have a cable if I can find someone here with one.

Let me know what ya got and what ya want for it. :)

Nevermind, I just reread your post and saw that you didn't want an adapter.

Really though the loss through the adapter probably isn't that much. That's how I currently have my strat hooked into my computer and it really does work great. Give it a shot.

I use the adapter, and it works well for me.

It's on an electric fiddle, btw.

An adapter will work fine. I didn't mean to come across like I didn't want one, I'd just prefer a cable if I can get one for cheap. Also, because I'd like to be able to run the normal cable from my guitar to my amp, then a second cable from the amp to the computer, but I only have one cable. That is the primary reason for preferring a cable over an adapter, but either will work.

How much for the adapter? :)

[someguy]

Hm.

I'd really like something soon, sorry to bump the thread.

Anyone have anything they'd like to sell?

Is my best bet just buying that adapter from eBay?

Got one you'd like to get rid of? ;)

Wow. I think the Radio Shack down the street from my house has the actual cable I'm looking for priced at only $4.99! :)

Please post anything you guys may have, but I think I'll be buying this tomorrow if they aren't junk.

[peter32892]

There not junk it willg et the job done great. This should be fine for what youw ill be needing it for. :cool: :D ;)

Any 1/4 to 1/8 inch cable you can find shouldwork. The one you linked to from Monster is that price because of the components invloved. the one from Radio Shack will work; but it is from Radio Shack. My experience with Radio Shack cables is that they are scatchy and will have a limited life.

So I will stop rambling there. As long as you can find a cable with a 1/4" and a 1/8" male connectors on it, that should work.

Got the Radio Shack one working. It doesn't have to last forever, just so long as I get my $5 worth from it. :)
