As I await the arrival of my Jet King bass, I decided to sink a few bucks into an item that will help to complete the entire retro-package look. It's the Bullet coiled cable - classic black.

First, a description from the manufacturer's website: BULLET CABLE - CLASSIC BLACK The Original Vintage Coil Cable that helped the resurgence of retro-coil cables in the market.
