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.....

If you really do want the best of the best you should look at the Invalid Link Removed. They are [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], 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 Link Removed and still work. They are the standard for TV broadcast and film.

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.

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:

Link Removed

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.
