Thunderbird Club

One of the plusses I didn't expect when going to digital wireless (Line 6 G30) was that the digital system transmits a wider frequency range than the cable does, and I ended up with a nice high end sparkle to my sound that wasnt there with cable alone. And, I wasn't getting that cable rolled around my leg and tripping myself anymore, which alone is worth the price of admission.
Cool! I just ordered a G30. I’m usually ok with cords at gigs, but I can see it being just as useful at home.
And when playing upright. I try to work in a few spins every show (unless we’re playing background jazz:laugh:) Wireless will make that easier for sure.
 
We've decided to go home on Monday despite the weather staying good. Schools have broke up for summer and this campsite has filled up with parents and children who all look like they walk into walls a lot :roflmao: so I will be able to get back in the workshop by Wednesday woohoo! I'm keen to get those twins ready for spraying, it's rapidly approaching at last

So, you don't make sure that you spin equally in each direction!? :wideyed:

Hey we have those parents and children crowding our vacation spots too!
 
We pronounce it as "fvucking vile stench"
LOL

This assumes that company is welcome. Swap titles on those lists for visits that you prefer not occur.

Mother in law coming? Great, I'll just put away my bass and get to work on my favourite boiled cabbage and shrimp recipe. We can have durian for dessert. Seen the dog around?

I don't like cabbage at the best of times but what kind of person said "I I know, shall we have boiled cabbage again for tea, we had it last week and it was lovely, smelled so good!"?

One other thing I found out about the G30 (and since it works with the cheapest unit its gotta work with the more expensive ones too) is that I was able to get a second transmitter from EBay. IIRC it was $114. I set up my backup bass with its own transmitter so if I needed to change basses I just turned off the transmitter I was using, hung the bass on the super cool Hercules double stand, turned on the back up transmitter, whipped up the volume and get back to work.

This is the line6 g30 you're talking about? That sounds ideal for me
 
I rehearsed with my gig rig so it was much easier to run the wireless. I always put in new batteries in both for shows and just used those up in the rehearsals that followed. I also don't store those batteries in the transmitter. Even top quality batteries are cheap in comparison to the cost of the other stuff you play with.
