Any Recommendations for wireless (bass) system in $300.00 to $400.00 range?

Line 6 is pretty much the standard in that price range now. Relay G30 or G50...

 

In the past wireless was always tough for bass players, most of the stuff on the market just couldn't hit those low frequencies or they would lose signal ( the usual stuff) . I have a line 6 g30 and absolutely love it. It has a digital signal which allows for virtually no interference or cutting out. I've had this unit for almost a year and a half now and have never had anything cut out at a show or had a failure of any kind on any part of the unit. The only time the unit cut out was when i went out side of its range. My guitar player bought on because he saw how awsome mine was and says as he'll never use anything but digital stuff. The g50 has more range and the receiver is built a little Better but they all have that digital aspect. I can distinguish no difference between cable tone and the wireless, it's that exact. you won't regret dropping money on one of these.

 

I bought the G 50 and although I liked the sound, the build quality left me wanting...add to that customer service is non-existent. Friend of mine is a FOH engineer/stage mgr. for a larger 70-80's artist and all the guys WERE endorsed through Line 6...due to the same issues he had all the guys go back to Shure, (as have I).

There is a guy on ebay that sells a ton of Shure stuff at pretty good prices... custeraudio | eBay

Shure costs a little more, but never had any issues with the stuff!!

 

Shure PGX series........

 

Line 6 G50

 

Another vote for the Line 6 G50. Metal construction on the transmitter. Nice sized receiver. I've used the receiver loose, stomp box style with my IEM rig and also mounted it with foam mounting tape to the roof of a rack rig.

 

Another vote for Line6. My Relay G30 has been flawless except for the belt clip breaking off. And Line6 Customer Service was, indeed, completely useless in trying to get that fixed. One Neotech wireless pouch (for $10) later and the G30 is even better than new.

And the G30 uses a regular instrument cable to connect the transmitter to the guitar. I like that much better than the G50 or others that use a special, small connector on the cable that connects to the transmitter.

 

Line 6 is better than a cable.

The key is look for true digital wireless. It doesn't have the problems that plague analog.
All the other manufacturers are now coming out with "digital", but not all digital is created equal.

These digital systems are also getting good reviews
Wi Digital Systems
I don't know about their range.

 

I had a good experience with Line 6 CS, though it ultimately didn't work out. My X2's were from before Line 6 buying them, and the transmitter battery door broke on one. I called them and they sent me one free immediately. Unfortunately, the newer models of the same transmitter have a sightly different door and it didn't work and they didn't have anything from the old days. But props to Line 6 for trying. They've been really good wirelesses, though...nothing in that price range touches them that I've found. I only wish wirelesses had a 9v plug so you could use them without batteries.

 

Another vote for Line 6 G30. Been using it for just 1 year, and no problem at all. I like to roam around when I play, and I've never had a dropout. No matter what the battery indicator says, I always put in new batteries (AA) before every gig. Good to go all night.
Jimmy, I'm a little confused by your reply. You want a wireless that you can plug power into? Making it... not wireless? Unless you are referring to the receiver. No batteries there. Just an AC adapter......

 

No, not the receiver...the transmitter.

 

The transmitter is your body- pack. Plugging that into a power source would be, well, sorta old-school, wouldn't it? (Similar to a cable?) Maybe you gotta be an Ampeg guy to want that!

 

Another vote for the Line 6 G50. I've had mine for well over a year, and it's been all over the world with me. It's been flawless. When I first got it, I a/b'ed it with my George L's cables and couldn't hear any difference at all.

Cheers!

 

Just trying to preserve the nuances of my hot-aZZ playin.

 

One more vote for Line 6 G30.

 

To fulfill the OPs requirements, I have found a candidate. The Samson Airline Synth Wireless Guitar system. The included transmitter plugs directly into the 1/4" jack. The receiver has over 300 freqs to operate on including the FCC reg'd 700MHz range.(these could safely be used outside the U.S.) The price is at the extreme upper end of the spectrum at $399. I would recommend Sweetwater.com which includes free shipping and 2 year warranty. All this being said, I own the Line 6 G50 Wireless system and I totally love it!!

 

G50 is the way to go. It's the only wireless I've ever used and liked in 25 years of playing. It's the only one I'd ever use, except for maybe the rackmount version, but I couldn't justify the difference in cost for what I needed it for. Or perhaps one of the professional Shure systems that cost around $2,500.00, but unless you're a certified rock star making serious money, that's a tad ridiculous. And it still might not sound as good as the G50. As has been said above, it truly does sound as good as my monster cable, if not better. And the features are great.

 

Prpbably does...wireless removes the capicitance of cables and brings back a little high end. And in the Line 6 wirelesses, I believe they also put a capacitor in there to give you a 12k rolloff, which is similar to plugging a normal cable in, and that's why the frequency response sounds more like a cable. If they don't still do it, they did at one time for sure. Monster cables have higher capacitance buildup, so they roll off highs lower than your usual cable. So between the loss from the Monster cable and the point where the wireless rolls off high end, you likely did gain back a few highs. Subtle, no doubt, but there's every chance that's what happened.
