Wireless systems fo bass and angled jacks

[Tymophil]

Hi gents,

I would like to buy a wireless system for my bass. But, I only use angled jacks because with straight ones my right leg bumps in to it, producing an horrible sound.

Unfortunately most wireless systems use their own plug-in system. Generally, the sets contain a straight jack. Moreover, it is difficult, and pretty expensive, to get an angled one. It also seem that the few wireless brands that sell such a cable, don't produce very reliable ones...

So... Is there a wireless set that can be used with a good angle cable ? And where can one find such a cable in Europe ?

Best regards.

Most systems use a cable with a 1/4" jack. Do you have to use a special cable for your bass?

I am talking about the connection into the transmitter, not into the bass. The Sony, for example, seem to use a 1/8" (stereo ?) jack...

Am I clearer ?

it is not the end that plugs into the bass, it is the end that plugs into the belt/strap pack that is the issue. At least on my Sennheiser

i'm confused, i think different people are talking about right-angle 1/4" plugs to go into the bass (not a big deal, just get one soldered onto the cable) and right-angle mini-plugs at the beltpack, which is just weird.

for the beltpack, you just mount it on your strap or belt or whatever in such a way that the cable goes straight in the direction you want it to go. my line 6 pack for instance lets you remove and turn the metal spring clip part so it'll mount in any direction.

I'm using the pretty-damned-excellent Line 6 G30. It uses a standard quarter inch plug on both ends. The G50, next up in the line, uses a proprietary plug on the transmitter end. Its main advantage is more range, so if you don't need that for where you play, then the G30 is a fine choice with plenty of range, and since it doesn't use a compander circuit (its all digital) its frequency range is wider than my rig is capable of reproducing.

I'm confused with the OP's post also.. there are quite a few after-market vendors that supply right angle 1/4" (bass-end) jacks with the appropriate vendor connection on the body pack end.
for example in europe:

Okay, I wasn't clear in my description... I want a 1/4" angled jack and a regular 1/8" jack for a Sony or any connexion that would plug into the transmitter. Just what your links point to in fact.

Many thanks.

I have a Line6 G30 that uses any standard 1/4" jack on both ends (transmitter and Receiver), including right angle. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with this set up.

yup ... Line 6 G30 and make whatever cable your heart desires as it uses regular 1/4" TS plugs at each end ...

I feel your pain. I bought the new Shure digital wireless (great unit btw ) and they just don't make the specific cable for the transmitter with an angled jack.
So I purchased an identical gold neutrik angled Jack, removed the original straight Jack and soldered the new one to the cable that goes to transmitter. Worked perfect!

 

[DWBass]

Are you looking for an angled cable to the bass or to the transmitter? I'm still not quite clear what you're looking for? I posted a link to a cable with an angled plug to the bass specifically for the Shure units. Here is a link for both styles.
