The world-renowned Japanese instrument cable. The latest release from Lext: FINAL EDITION! *The following specifications have been changed for items arriving in March 2026. Wire material: Custom-made hybrid high-quality conductor (* PCUHD and OFC blended in the ratio specified by Lext) Lext's instrument cables are credited on many classic albums, are used in countless live performances, and continue to be loved by top bassists around the world. Even if you're not aware of Lext's cables themselves, you may have unknowingly heard their sound. Eighteen years after the birth of the Lext instrument cable in 2007, in 2025, the latest instrument cable, "Z-LNC01FE-RJ," was completed, approximately six years after the previous model was discontinued. The sound, which has been refined and honed through countless recordings and live performances over the past six years, can now finally be enjoyed on your beloved instrument. With raw material costs soaring, it's become difficult for small businesses to mass-produce cables as they did in the past. This might be the last chance to produce cables at Lext. With the goal of achieving a sound that we won't regret even if it's our last instrument cable, the Lext development team proudly presents the dream instrument cable, the Final Edition RJ Cable! A prototype of this cable was used in the Los Angeles recording of "Organic feat. LA Strings" (released October 1, 2025), the 3rd album by "Katsushika Trio," featuring bassist Tetsuo Sakurai. Tetsuo Sakurai's latest signature 6-string bass was recorded using a custom direct box made by recording engineer legend Don Murray, directly connected to the Lext Instruments cable. The mastering was handled by none other than Bernie Grundman. Be sure to check out Tetsuo Sakurai's rich and vibrant sound on "Organic feat. LA Strings"! * Trial cables are available at the Bass Collection store. Please try it with your own instrument. I think it's good not only for all types of bass guitars, but also for acoustic-electric guitars. * Please inquire about custom lengths.●Materials of the Rext Musical Instrument Cable Z-LNC01FE-RJ [Built-in vibration control item exclusively for Z-LNC01FE-RJ] The plug cap on the instrument side features a genuine leather vibration-damping material (same shape as the Resonance Tip GP) specifically designed for instrument cables. By incorporating this new vibration-damping material specifically designed for instrument cables, the effects on the electrical signal that previously caused sound quality degradation are neutralized. By transmitting only the actual sound emitted by the instrument, a more captivating sound than ever before is achieved. [Z-LNC01FE-RJ wire material and structure] Uses a newly developed, high-quality hybrid conductor (*) exclusively for LEXT. (* A conductor made from PCUHD and OFC in a blend ratio specified by LEXT.) While the basic structure follows that of the previous Lext model, the wire structure has been completely revised and fine-tuned specifically for the Final Edition cable. ● Assembly: Because assembly is complex and difficult, and directional control is important, the entire process is handled by Nishino, the representative of Lext. The plugs are made by SWITCHCRAFT and modified by LEXT. - Uses specially tuned solder - The plug joint is reinforced with a heat-shrinkable tube made specifically for Rext that has been tuned for sound quality. ● Lext's unique tuning technology, which allows for precise control of the sound quality of tuning cables, has been developed specifically for musical instrument cables. What Lext values most when developing instrument cables is "sense of pitch" and "a sound that doesn't get lost in the orchestra." The sound doesn't get lost when played with other instruments, and even though it's a bass instrument, it still has a clear pitch. That's why Lext Musical Instrument Cables continue to receive rave reviews from vocalists, who say, "They're easy to sing with!" Just because a cable is suitable for a low-pitched instrument like the bass doesn't mean it should be a cable that emphasizes the low frequencies. It needs a sound that has a real core and hits you hard. Lext understands the bassist's desire for just a little more, and that's why we were able to develop the new instrument cable, the Z-LNC01FE-RJ. ●Specifications Product name/model number: Z-LNC01FE-RJ Wire material: Custom-made high-quality hybrid conductor (* PCUHD and OFC blended in the ratio specified by Lext) Color: Navy Cable outer diameter: 8mm Plug: SWITCHCRAFT (additional processing and modification by REXT) Country of origin: Made in Japan
