Best of the best wireless system?

[BSL]

Hi Guys... I have few names for best wireless system for bass which are AKG WMS 450, Shure PG14, Audio Technica ATW-700 and Line 6 Relay G50/90. I am really confused which one to get. If you guys have any suggestions which one is the best of the best. Please that would be very helpful to me so that I don't need to buy it again and again....

Thanks.....

I have been using Sennheiser for years and have never had any problems. I would buy another if needed or a Shure.

Very happy so far with my Line6 G50. Much better than the X2 it replaced. The range on this thing is pretty unbelievable. Haven't had it long enough to know how it will stand up over time though.

If you really do want the best of the best you should look at the Lectrosonics IS400. They are pricey, but they really are great.

I work with many Lectro systems every day at work and have had absolutely zero problems with them for many years. No interference, long range, and can literally be run over by a tank and still work. They are the standard for TV broadcast and film.

I think a digital system like the Line 6 is the way to go. Frequency response is far better than the analog systems. Check your specs!

I own several.. x2 is the best deal.

The best of the best is a cable.

These are good , not as good as a cable or as reliable as a cable but still .....

Sennheiser EM2000 (G Band, 558-626 MHz) | Sweetwater.com
sk2000 | Sweetwater.com

You can download a software to check the frequencies available where you are , and all the interferences that goes along.
That unit have ethernet connection to run the softwares.

Line6 G50 has been great for me so far. Very impressed with the improvements (in pretty much every way) over the Line6/X2 XDS-Plus system I had previously.

I often think getting a high end wireless like the Lectrosonics would be very cool. But really, there's nothing I'm dissatisfied about with my cheap little X2's from 4 years ago, so I'll use them till they fall apart, then I'll get whatever little digital wireless is the cheapest.

Used to use a Samson, very good and no complaints at all. However, all the wireless frequencies have been sold in the UK so I'm now using the Line 6 G30. Seriously good. Recommended and better sound than with a lead and you don't get tangled in a transmitter. Use rechargeable batteries.

[bertbass666]

Forgot to say that the G30 receiver fits nicely on my pedalboard as well.

If you want the best, go with Sennheiser. The Lectrosonics has a good reputation, too, but I have no experience with them.

Avoid Shure's PG line; it'll compress the batsnot out of your bass.

If you're looking for best bang-for-your-buck, try this:

Products - Brace Audio

Made by the guy who invented Line6's design, except built better and slightly cheaper. Much more portable, too. The whole system is about as big as two packs of smokes, fits in a case easier than a cable.

If you can buy one of these, I would really like to know where. Thought I had one tracked down... bought it.... only to have the dealer reimburse me since they can't get them

I should mention that Devo uses Brace Audio wirelesses. They sound good live.

The best I've used is the Shure UR4-D systems. The UR stuff sounds great with everything from electric bass to fiddle to vocals. They run about 2 grand a channel, so getting one for gigs at the local bar is probably out.

The Lectro stuff I've used worked great for bass and electric guitar, but sucked for acoustic and fiddle. The companding was really grainy and choppy.

When I do play the occasionally bar gig, I've been using the Line 6 stompbox style unit. It sounds really good for being a $300 unit and is fairly well built.

None of these units sound as good as a $20 cable though.

Honestly, blindfolded, I seriously doubt I'd be able to tell the difference between a cable and my X2.

I'm holding out for someone to do a bluetooth wireless......I'll still use my Shure ULX until then....
