I'm interested in picking up a new wireless system for my bass, but I'm not sure who I should go with. I used to play with a Shure, the type that had the little bug, but it's seen the last of it's days.

I play in a metal band and we tend to get crazy on stage, so I need something that's gonna be rather durable and secure.

Like this one? Or am I looking at the wrong one?

I was talking about this one, actually:

But I see it has a metal receiver and not a metal transmitter. I thought it had a metal transmitter box, too. The one you linked to is the one I have. I wouldn't say it's so rugged you can bang it around, but I've dropped it a couple times and it still works.

The X2 sounds more like a cable than any other wireless I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Now the transmitter cable, I wouldn't call it a bad cable, but I've also seen better.

Giant +1 on this. The range isn't great, but it's more than serviceable for the price.

The cable isn't great, but Butch at Bayou Audio can make you a nice one in any length with any connector you wish.

Edited to add: while the cable doesn't look or feel substantial, I never had any problem with mine.
