I haven’t seen much of that here, Im sure they’re around…maybe Im not going to the right places
I can’t remember where he was in OR and it’s not like it’s a small state. Heh. Just curious, thanks!
Unless they are Class D cables, they’re too heavy.
You can do that, but you must use a wireless cable.
You can control a car (or a drone airplane) via a wireless connection. But you can't make the connection between the engine and the wheels wireless. Wireless systems can send gobs of data/ instructions. They're not good at sending power. The input to an amp is data. The output is power.
It worked for the M5. Just don't wear a red shirt.

- I suck, but nobody really notices
Nice job Rich…it worked like a charm even though some got it right away!
I can't believe you'd even consider this OP...
Don't you realize that all that sweet tube tone from the Mesa head will get digitized and lost when you pump it over wireless?? Do you know what uses wireless technology to transmit audio signals? BLUETOOTH!
What people don't understand is that computer mice, keyboards, kids iPads with Roblox installed on it, smartphones, and Playstation controllers ALSO use Bluetooth. I couldn't count on my hands and feet how many shows I've been to recently where some kid screwed everything up by watching Skibiddi Toilet YT videos with Bluetooth turned on. Consider yourself lucky if it's just that and not picking up Call of Duty voice chat via that Playstation controller.
Honestly, you could use 5.0ghz wireless, but get ready to lose a lot of power with its limited signal range. 2.4ghz is better, but very overcrowded (same issue as bluetooth), you'll be getting Joe Rogan Podcast audio or Chillwave youtube playlists going through your speakers.
If you want any hope of this coming out right, I'd use a modified Wii U controller (with the touchscreen) since it communicates using a different standard. What you'll need to do is jailbreak the console, run it in Wii emulation mode, gut a wireless Guitar Hero (or Rockband) controller, and put it in-line with your bass electronics. This is much easier if you have an active bass since it can feed off the 9v battery for power.
There should be a 1/4" to Wii U charger cable on AliExpress for around $49, but I'd actually get the OEM one on eBay for better signal integrity.

This is very easily done.
Since the power that wireless systems are capable of transmitting is very low, what you have to do is add more TX/RX units in parallel.
Look at the manufacturers transmit power rating of the transmitter, and divide that number into the total amount of power you want to send to your speaker cabinet to determine how many wireless units you will have to parallel to make it work.
It may require many hundreds, (or thousands) of wireless systems in parallel depending on how loud you need to be.

Also, in the spirit of April Fool's day, take a look at the photo I have attached below of the seedless watermelon seeds I intend to plant in my garden this spring.
Nice looking seeds, eh?

If you were fishin' with just the hook and sinker ya would not need to buy it.
Wireless fishin' is fun.
Yes, there are shops that sell "Healing Crystals" and other stones that have powers. A lot more than you would think would be a sustainable business income to afford a storefront.
There are Mineral/Precious Stone shops also, but they are different. For hobby mineral collectors.

Maybe the stones don't represent the income that sustains those stores?
