I was supposed to be going to see Cigarettes After Sex tomorrow at the O2 but I gave my tickets away to my 16yerar old son and his girlfriend. I've still got to be taxi driver.

I stil haven't pulled the trigger on any wireless system yet.....my gut is telling me to go with the Shure but my head has been telling me I don't need to spend that much and should go with the Nux.....that said my main bass is a EBMM USA Sterling HH with the 3 band EBMM active circuit...probably very similar to your Stingray...this story about the Stingray possibly not working with the Nux is steering me back to the Shure... Decisions decisions.

As do I. Mine currently has a green pearl scratchplate but is black Sterling 4HH with matching headstock. I will never part with mine. I am no longer interested in other basses - it's like a real marriage that actually means something.

and then there's this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194368628626?itmmeta=01JAZAHC3SC2PJ9BFNSJM0B3CX&hash=item2d4145e792:g:9SoAAOSwkV1hQ11X Check out the tuners on that!!!

A dongle plugged into the pedalboard input potentially works…not too keen on it needing to be charged - I have noticed though that 400-500mA power is required for the pedalboard solutions - I already use a current doubler for one of my other pedals so using the pedalboard psu might not be possible while keeping my other pedals. I also didn’t realise that pedalboard solutions have built in tuners - not necessary at all. I know the boss solution has no tuner but stipulates a boss psu only and also charges the Tx on a side which would be obstructed if mounted on my board, hence my interest in other solutions.

Been hoping for that kind of situation for 40odd years LOL - closest I've come was last month's festival in Spain playing on the same (huge) stage as The Mission and The Charlatans - the amount of gear they had was impressive - towed in dedicated trailers behind their sleeper coaches..we had the relative luxury of a 4* hotel and Easyjet LOL

I generally live by this rule these days - buy cheap, buy twice is very true in my experience.

FYI - He passed away in June

Our rehearsals are normally 12-6 with at least 90 minute break in the middle for lunch in the pub, so effectively a 90minute session followed by a 90minute break followed by a 3 hour session so that should be enough to keep it charged provided I remember to plug the charger in during the break - that's not guaranteed as I often forget to unplug my bass during the break (thus using battery).

Do you chaps mean this system? https://www.thomann.co.uk/nux_c_5rc_wireless_system.htm That looks just the ticket and is a far smaller financial commitment than the Shure..... I didn't like the look of the Sennheiser XSW-D as there is no 1/4" input jack for use if Tx/Rx fails for some reason.

My ONLY bass related purchase this year was back in February - an Empress Bass Compressor in blue sparkle. It's clearly better than my BBE OptoStomp which it replaced. I might splash out on a Wireless TX/Rx kit before the year is out.

Tx is standard shorthand for transmitter (Rx for receiver)
