does the hi pass filter remove bass? I turned it on and it seemed to connect itself, so I think I'm nearly there

I have it in my office. It's wonderfully made. complicated but i think I'll get to grips with it, I've downloaded the manual from sennheiser, lots of options if you were using multiple bits of kit but I'll only be using the one. Are the Eneloop batteries rechargable? I think I saw an accessory that looked like a mic holder that might recharge the batteries?

yep, sounds fab, great playing too

Nick, this is stinky poo!! The bloke is clearly a tosser. Make sure you argue with ebay about it

thank you

Just in case anyone is following this, I ordered the sennheiser EW100 945 on channel 38. It comes tomorrow. I'll gig it next week and report back

@EBS_freak Also, can I ask the difference between the 8 series and 9 series mics please?

Thanks again, this is all great info. I do sing with my lips mostly on the grill, so I think the 945 might be more suited to me

I've just bought the follow up too

@EBS-freak Why the 935 module? What will it give me that the beta 58 hasn't got. thanks for your help though, I love BC, there's always so much help on hand

ok that's more great info thanks, I'll keep an eye out on ebay etc

this one? https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/microphone-wireless-system-vocal-instruments-ew-100-g4-935-s

In my duo, I play guitar about half of the time, when I don't, I put the guitar down and usually take the mic form the stand, coil the lead round my hand so it doesn't pull out. For me being wireless isn't about walking out into the crowd, showing off, it's about having less leads under my feet and hooked around the mic stand, should I want to do my Rod stewart/ David coverdale impressions with the stand (which I used to do in my youth with my old shure wirelss rig)

Thanks guys, this is great info. I still have no idea what to do next. I'll look at the sennheiser . To be clear, it's just me going wireless with the mic. Not the band

I'm looking at the Shure Beta 58 stuff. The BLX24 with beta 58 (analogue) and the GLXD24/beta 58A It's for mainly pubs and the occasional bigger gig. I used to have a shure wireless SM58 back in 1990 and it was great. I currently sing using the Beta58 with a lead, so want to stick with the Beta58 as I have grown very used to it thanks for your help

yep the bridge moves about if you lean on it too much. I had mine pinned because i rest my hand on it when I play and it used to move. now it's fine

I never really noticed the weight. I used to be young, agile and mostly un-injured. I used to jump about with whatever bass was strapped on. As time has gone on I picked up a nasty neck injury playing 5 a side footy. I had physio but then had a car accident, where I was hit from behind by a lorry, which then hit me again. I now have a c4-c6 vertibrae problem, which I manage ok with. From time to time it's back to the physio. I stopped gigging heavily about 2 years ago but now I only aim to do about 40 per year. Most of my gigs are 80s duo. I play a lightweight Strat on about half the gig, so only about an hour. It doesnt affect my neck but when I do a Police tribute gig, it all locks up for a few days. I use my Bravewood Sting replica, it is nice n light but still gives me grief. I don't know the exact weight but it feels light. I am starting to shed my heavier basses because they should be played, not left in their cases in the cupboard

I'm thinking of going wireless for vocals, Shure do an analogue and a digital system Does anyone have an opinion or experience with them. Is digital better? etc etc cheers

yep that set up will nail it and that was my old set up!!😀

yep, been playing it over 30 years now

I have the SBR-150. I prefer it passive too. The active tone thing doesn't really work for me. I don't gig it because I love my P bass too much.
