It’s 2.4G… so no

The $30 would be better spent buying something to eat after a gig.

Not for gigging. For practice, maybe?? You don't want to cheap out on a wireless system for gigs.

 

[Marko 1]

For practice/rehearsals, sure,

or a low-level gig with a cable at-the-ready.

the lag/latency make these unworkable for bass.

Naw... not unless you walk out pretty far.

Nope. You’re thinking BT (bluetooth).
2.5G is fine, but so cluttered it’s something one should not use for critical live needs like bass/guitar, vocals or IEM’s.

At this point in time, I think the question "What DOESN'T Amazon make?" produces a shorter list than "What does Amazon make?"

Pretty cool to see this kinda branching out though.

I've been using these for over a year, many gigs and rehearsals and no issues. $57

I have a similar set (see link below). I have used them at rehearsal with my cover band almost exclusively for six months. The one time that my much more expensive wireless crapped out on me at a gig, they saved my bacon and did a good job.

I’ve never felt the need to go wireless….ever…

I started using one at rehearsals, then when someone needs a beer, I can go grab it for them.

Started using it live, and it is kinda nice not having to kick that cable around.

I think they're getting sued because they were using the sales info the had, then reproducing items what sold well.

Again, just something I heard.

^--- This. lol ---^

Avoid any wireless that is 2.4GHz. Even 5.8GHz. They play in the same frequencies that wifi and cell phones do, and will struggle in a live gig situation. I had a Line 6 G10 and G75, both 2.4GHz., and I'd even have trouble with signal dropout standing right next to my receiver at packed gigs. I don't even use my G10 at home anymore.

5sg.

I’ve bought a few different inexpensive 5.8 GHz wireless, including this one, plus a similar inexpensive UHF set (also by Lekato) over the past year. All have worked quite well for the weekly basement jam I play in, for band rehearsals, and for gigs in various sized venues plus a few outdoor festivals. No complaints and no issues with any of them.

FWIW, I’m not claiming any of them are the equal of the kind of pro level system costing five-figures that A-listers use in their stadium gigs. I get that these are cheap units and I always have a cable run in case of a problem. But for a weekend warrior like me, the four different sets I bought have all done the job.

I’ve been using this one for gigs and never a dropout, never noticeable lag. Got them for $32 and it’s some of the best $ spent:

I used these (https://www.amazon.com/Getaria-Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver-Channels/dp/B07YTBJF5P/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1VFOQTDC3GKXU&keywords=getaria+wireless+guitar+system&qid=1689905400&sprefix=getaria,aps,569&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1) for over a year and thought they were the schitz. I even had started a thread on them, something about "Cheap Wireless Systems" or such. Liked them so much I bought a second set as a backup and to be able to switch back and forth between the two. Inexpensive, operate on 5.8 gHz, never had a problem with them at rehearsal or gigs. Until I did. For some reason now after an hour or so of use for some unknown (to me) reason they either occasionally drop out even though I'm within 10 feet of the receiver unit, or they start distorting. Usually just fine when fully charged but after a bit they distort and/or an occasional drop out, usually more distorting though.

And so, cheap bastard that I am, I finally accepted the fact that I got what I paid for and ordered the Shure GLXD 14+ system which operates on dual-band (2.4 and 5.8GHz) wireless frequency. Searches automatically for open frequencies so should (hopefully) be pretty problem free going forward. Lists for $499, got a 15% discount from Musicians Friend, probably in part because it's still on back order. In the mean time I've been forced to go back to using a cord (which IMO is a PITA) but hopefully should be getting the Shure system shortly. In fact just got notification that it ships tomorrow (Friday) so I should have it for next weeks gig anyway.

Moral of the story - you get what you pay for. I learned that lesson (again) the hard way.

Spend a little more and get the XVive U2 system.
