Looking for WIRELESS help... Gear Suggestions!!

hey, im looking for some help about wireless gear. first, our band started just about two years ago in the basement of our lead singers dads house, not really expecting much just getting together and playing. Now, less than two years later, we are playing every weekend, sending out EPK's for good size events, been through two lead guitar players and added a girl vocalist, also we now have a manager, and we run all our own sound and lights from small to medium events. Just everything we never thought a couple buds playing in a basement would amount to. its exciting but there is alot to learn... which brings me to the point on needing help with wireless systems. i am looking at getting a wireless instrument and in ear monitor system. also build myself my own rack for easier travel in our trailer and to protect my expensive investments. im wondering what you guys have used, pros and cons to them, in ears, monitor systems, wireless instrument, power conditioners, how you set up your rack, etc... i have no real price range, just reasonable, not much more than $2500 and less can be better if the quality is still there. what have you used and what works the best, great gear to start with etc... oh and right now i use a genz benz shuttle 6.0, a 2x12 lds cab, and a couple different basses and effects if you need to know... thanks:bassist:
 
sennheiser ew100 series for instrument sets (guitar, bass, or any other instrument with 1/4" out)

for IEM, Shure PSM200, just get them all in different frequency bands. there is about 4-5 different frequency bands to choose from....the ear buds arent super awesome, so you can skip out on the pack with the ear buds and get the SE325's, or 535's depending on what you are willing to spend, or buy the pack with the SE215's and have them as backups...just in case..

if you are thinking of all going wireless, it would be best to go with industry brands and the same brands, so that you have unifomity, and will cost you less in getting things like distribution systems. but i wouldn't stray from these 2 brands for either purpose...sennheiser have a great IEM range too...
 
I have used Nady, (early model, really not very good, but Im sure their sets are much better now)Samson, (several versions, all worked well,) and now Im into Line 6.

I have the XDR95 system. It is purely killer!! :hyper:

Silent when off, Solid as a rock.
Battery and signal meters are excellent.

Highly recommened.

I havent tried any of the relay systems, but Im sure theyre great too.

I'm about ready to drop the ball on a G50 but I'm kinda waiting for the verdict on the new G55. I don't really need the extra distance or the rack capabilities though. Hmmm...
