Best wireless for bass?

I use a Shure ULXS14. It's a great unit. I notice NO signal loss and I have never had any interference or drop out. I am probably going to pick up an X2 (the model with the stompbox type receiver) so I can eliminate the rack.

I use and love the Sennheiser EW 172 G2 system.

It operates in the 518-554, 626-662, 740-776, 786-822, 830-866MHz ranges, so no worries there either. There are 1,440 frequencies to manually choose from, or let the receiver search automatically for the cleanest one. Then just set the transmitter to the same frequency and you're good to go! ;)

I have no experience with the X2 system, but it does look killer!

I have the X2 XDR95 rackmount model plus the premium instrument cable. It works flawlessly. Absolutley no audible difference between the X2 and a Monster Bass cable. I am selling it now only because I am playing smaller clubs and only got to use it for one gig since I bought it in November. It's on eBay now. Battery life on the transmitter wasn't bad. I played for over 3 hours and still showed about 3/4 battery life left. The receiver was plugged in using the supplied transformer. I tested it at over 30 feet with no drop out. Pricey but very good performance. Light as a feather too...

I have a DR Audio technica 2000 series. It is the biggist pile of sh&t i have ever used. Nothing replaces the direct line if you dont mind being a kite. But i would rather be a kite then to loose performance. I have tried them all. and allways wind up goig back to the old chord. anyone els share my filling's on that.

Dude - you couldn't be bothered to answer questions about your statements that a Furman "saved your head", nor what Genz-Benz amp you owned that drove you back to G-K after one gig - BUT, you can dig this up from 3 months ago to post THAT???!!!

I've gotta say, I think you're full of crap...

The AT-3000 series C band is a good choice, unlike many others, it has a seperate instrument input (it's a 2 input channel transmitter, one with mic bias and the other high Z without) with an appropriate impedance for most passive basses too. Be sure to program for the correct input and level on the transmitter.

It can, but supposedly the receiver really eats the batteries. I think somebody mentioned that they can't get through a normal gig on one battery.

I always have the receiver plugged in, so I don't worry about it.

I'm a bit confused. I thought it was wireless?

I'm a complete noob to this stuff and I'd like to go wireless, as a 30' cable can be a lot and then I can yank it out and can't cross over a guitarist much or anything..

There are two parts; the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter connects to your bass. The receiver connects to the amp. The receiver can run off a battery, but since it is stationary on the amp, it doesn't hurt to run it off a power supply.
