“The Analysis Plus leads have totally transformed my in-ear monitor sound. I have no idea how it works technically, but there is so much more clarity and detail to the sound which is crucial when relying totally on an in-ear mix. It’s made a massive difference…Thanks to Analysis Plus and aanvil audio for supplying the cables.”
-Paul Carrack
“I love the Analysis Plus Bass Oval cable because it give a balanced sound with a linear response. Not only is there more clarity and punch, but more bass as well. The bass sound is very musical and fits well into the overall musical picture. As a bonus my instrument has become more responsive…”
-Jeremy Meek

Byron House (Robert Plant and The Band of Joy
"Analysis Plus cables allow the full response of tonal and dynamic range (say it loud -- the MUSIC!) of all my basses to come through more clearly than I've ever experienced. And, truly... an unhindered tone can help lead to greater depths of musical inspiration! I look at it this way: music flows from your heart, through your hands and into your instrument... with the advantage of Analysis Plus, the link from bass to amplifier, recording desk, and the ears of music lovers is stronger than ever. They are quite simply the best I've heard!"
Joseph Patrick Moore
" It amazes me that players will spend a fortune on instruments, speakers, pre/power amps and yet with all that high end gear, they will use a cheap instrument/mic cable to connect the source. I've experimented with many of the "name brand cables" and nothing holds a candle to the Analysis Plus Bass and Yellow Oval Cables. If you think cables don't matter, plug in and listen to the AP cables. Analysis Plus is the bomb!"
Joseph started playing the alto saxophone in the 1980s and later switched to drums before finding his home on the bass. He studied the Double Bass and Bass guitar at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee from 1988-1991. In 1992 he moved to Memphis, Tennessee and started working in nightclubs in and around Beale Street and worked with many notable artists. While in Memphis, he received the prestigious Milt Hinton Scholarship to further his jazz studies and he also received a Premiere Player nomination by NARAS, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In 1997, Moore moved to his current home in Atlanta, Georgia. Soon after his arrival he started working with Capricorn recording artist Bruce Hampton and the Fiji Mariners. Cult legend and Jamband guru Hampton regularly invited guest artists to sit in with the band, particularly on the 1997 H.O.R.D.E. Tour allowing Moore to network and create musical dialogues with artists such as Jimmy Herring and Rob Wasserman to name a few. After the demise of the Fiji Mariners, Joseph joined Hick Hop band Blueground Undergrass and was a contributing member for over two years. In the midst of his hectic touring schedule with BlueGround Undergrass, Joseph continued to put out his solo recordings as well record with his Jazz trio, The E.M.P. Project. Currently Joseph is recording artist, producer and artistic director for Blue Canoe Records.

"People have often told me about the virtues of owning a good instrument cable. While it is often easy to see a difference in build quality, never in my 25 years of professional playing have I ever heard a sonic difference this drastic. In short, more tone is passed through my Analysis-Plus cable. You will not believe your ears."

"Analysis Plus cables delivers the thunder, Category 5 amps deliver the storm"
"These bass cables are fantastic, I can now hear the full eq signature of each note"
Yumiko Taguchi - Yucco - Nakanomori Band
"I am so moved with natural and straightforward sound that I can get out of my bass with Analysis Plus cables!!!!!
I am using:
Pro Yellow Oval Guitar cables (3m and 6m) and
Pro Oval Studio Guitar cables (3m and 6m).
I found unique characteristics with each kinds of the cables.
I tried them at the studio when I did a recording at the end of last year 2006.
For the live performance, I would like to use Pro Yellow Ovals.
Currently these are my favorites.
My bass instrument has its own natural sound.
I feel that my Analysis Plus cables allow this natural sound to be delivered without any coloration.
I am so grateful to be able to use these splendid cables.
Thank you Analysis Plus!!
Please come to our fun lives when you are available."

Jack Casady - Hot Tuna
Jack Casady is an American musician considered one of the foremost bass guitarists of the rock music era and best known as a member of Jefferson Airplane. First playing as a lead guitarist with the Washington D.C. area rhythm and blues band "The Triumphs", he switched to bass during his high school years and while still underage (and with a forged I.D.), played the Washington D.C club scene, backing artists such as Little Anthony and the Imperials and Ray Charles. He became the bass player for Jefferson Airplane when lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, a high school friend and former Triumphs rhythm guitarist, invited him to join in late September of 1965. Jefferson Airplane became the first successful exponent of the San Francisco sound. Their singles, including "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," had a more polished style and successfully charted in 1967 and 1968. Casady, along with the other members of Jefferson Airplane, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Now part of Hot Tuna.

"Cables really matters. Analysis Plus cables are the best choice. Just try the great Yellow Oval or the Bass Oval cables. They're so clear, you can get the true bass sound with them. They're amazing."
"It has been more than 2 years since I met with Analysis Plus cables. Now I truly feel that I cannot reproduce my instrument sound without Analysis Plus cables. There is no other cables which can replace the Analysis Plus cables. Especially with the Pro Oval Studio cable, I do not feel I need to explain a lot about it. As soon as you plug in the Pro Oval Studio cable, you can instantly feel its big difference from any other cables. When I had a recording work in past, I used to use preamps and all kinds of gadgets to prevent the sound from becoming thin because, depending on the cables I used, the sound became different. But with Analysis Plus cables, I do not need to do things like that any longer. It is because Pro Oval Studio cable enables me to send the sound of my instrument to the mixing console without doing such an extra work. The Pro Oval Studio cable does not select an instrument. I have hi-end active bass guitars and passive vintage bass guitars. The cable just trasmit their sound as they are. I am also using Analysis Plus Clear Oval speaker cable. I use both vintage amp head with vacuum tubes and hi-fi amp head. The same as the Pro Oval Studio cable, the Clear Oval cable lets me send the sound of these amps just as they are to the speaker cabinets. These cables are so great that, once you use them, you will never be able to use the other cables! I am so happy that I have met with the Analysis Plus cables. I will keep using them in future. Thanks so much Analysis Plus!!"

Kip Reed
Grammy Winner
"As an audiophile and professional bassist for nearly 30 years, I must admit I have never used an audiophile cable on my bass's output. The increase in lows and overall slam are noticeable. I won't do a studio date without my Analysis Plus Bass Oval! Think cables don't matter? Think again."
An east coast native currently splitting his time between New York and Cleveland, electric bassist Kip Reed has performed and recorded with many major artists spanning several genres. His love of Brazilian, African and other world-beat music combined with his background in rock, funk, and jazz make him one of the most in-demand bass players on the east and north coasts. In his nearly 30-year career, he has recorded or performed with Brazilian superstars Bebel Gilberto, Ivan Lins and Tania Maria, disco divas Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor, jazz legends Brother Jack Mcduff, Larry Coryell and Joe Lovano. He has been featured on recordings alongside bass greats Anthony Jackson and Freddie Washington. Hear him on Chuck Mangione's Chesky release "The Feeling's Back" and most recently, Nancy Wilson's Grammy-winning CD "Turned to Blue"
Mike Hill - Bass Player Johnny Hiland Band
"Analysis Plus’s signal is so clear and transparent I can hear my bass breath. I can hear, see and feel more colors then ever before. … It makes my bass sound bigger and more wide open. I can finally hear a 20h - 20k frequency response! It makes my bass sound better then yours."
