I always incorporate some kind of pedal, even if it's just a volume pedal that stays maxxed on the whole time, so that I have one cord between it and the amp in the backline, and another 20' or so for moving onstage or out into the audience (the cord between the guitar and the pedal). I've never had a prob running out of cord by doing that.

haha, yeah that's a good tip. I can understand this being a common issue with front plugs. Plus add in the fact that I was 13 and thought it was cool to jump around like Van Halen while jamin out some off-key leads.. lol
