Thought I scored On Amazon but weirdness ensued. I found some inexpensive cables from Seismic and like on some listings they show the multiple colors and lengths available and you just choose then add to cart. Twice I tried adding assorted colors and lengths to always find at least a few changed from speaker cable description to instrument cable/patch once in the cart. Kept was labeled correctly and cancelled what wasn’t but frustrating as hell. Wiring from scratch and amp/cab switcher setup and wanted color coding.

Bulk cable, various name-brands, mostly in-house brands, various colours.
 
I bought the Seismic 10 foot 6 pack on Amazon for stocking stuffers for xmas. I recommend passing. Pretty thin and crimp easily and the plug collars loosen simply by looking at them.

They would put in a very stationary setup and tied together, so I hoped they would be OK but I’m looking elsewhere now. Just speaker cables I need. I’m using colored George L for instrument connections.
 
Go for basic black quality rather than cheap colored junk. Sound should be more important than looks.

I need to easily see in the back of a rack what cables are going where and there will 18 speaker cables alone and then up to 12 instrument cables.

Colored tape at each end of the cables.
 
Not cheap but Rattlesnake makes quality cables in many different colors

I wanted easy visual all the way to the gear as well, my amp wall per se but with what I experienced on Amazon this might be the best course. Trying to keep the price down because I have no interest in spending hundreds on cabling for something I’ll fire up every few weeks in my basement for probably an hour tops. Getting black though will open up more choices. That BPTA site would be too expensive.
