Wireless recommendations

Hi,

I recently bought the G30 Line6, at a good price from thomann.de; it sounds great but just to be aware:
- the audio cable (bass to transmitter) doesn't come with an 90° angled jack - so I bpught another cable
- it eats batteries a bit (2 AA, 1.5V), so get ready for a spare set.
- the battery cover is a bit weak, so must pay attention when changing them
- had to set the right channel not to interfere with my home WiFi connection (changing the home channel as well)
- I just realized that since it needs more that 120mA, I can't power it with my T-Rex Junior

Cheers,
Andrea

When it comes to AAs, get some Eneloops and a decent charger. You'll thank me later. Best performing rechargables out there.

Whats the range like on the StageClix?

There's a couple of new wireless systems due out which may be worth hanging fire for - what sort of budget are you looking at?

£326.21 from Thomann.

(of course you may want to support the above as it's UK based and a fellow BCer)

Thanks EBSF - it's so hard to compete with Thomann, their 860 staff & massive buying power.

As a consumer I obviously appreciate that they use their clout to drive prices down but it does sometimes seem like they've taken a run at a few UK music retailers by undercutting them substantially.

I've yet to meet a UK retailer who makes much real money out of his business and I certainly know a few who are barely able to keep their heads above water :(

Hopefully what you get by going through a smaller 'local' business is informed advice, first class customer service, after sales help, good part exchange offers etc. However, there are some UK retailers who offer hardly any of this and still bleat about being stuffed by online businesses. I'm afraid I have very little sympathy for them :mellow:

Anyway, apologies for the off topic meanderings - my only excuse is that I'm helping a good friend out (totally unpaid) who owns one of the good UK bass retail specialists so that he can have a short holiday :)

However - I can say that the Stageclix units are great. There's one set up here for people to listen through & it sounds excellent.

Ace post.

I'm waiting to test drive a couple of new units that are due out out September and October.

Seen the Stageclix units and I'm impressed with the electronics - they really work. Just not mad on the design of both the components.

I use the Senheisser Freeport. Had it 5 years. Never a problem. Andy

Ditto, I've borrowed a Freeport from a friend numerous times over the past year, never had a single problem with it, even with the antenna on the receiver gaffa taped up as the wire had been stripped.

IIRC the Sennheiser Freeport is going to be affected by the Spectrum changes. Won't be legal anymore.


I tried the Stage Clix at Bass Direct the other week and I will be buying when I get some more money! Was excellent AND... the transmitted charges from the receiver when not in use!! No more 9V expense!

Just bought a Line 6 G30 and the sound quality is superb. The transmitter is really light and you just don't notice it clipped onto your belt. My receiver Is down on the pedal board. I like the fact that it has no external aerial to snap off. Just looks like another pedal.

My house is old and most guitars have some hum from mains interference when on a lead. None whatsoever when using the G30. Several people have commented about the battery cover, but unless you are a bit rough or ham fisted, it doesn't look too flimsy to my eyes. There's always Gaffa tape to keep it shut!

Only got it today, but so far, very impressed

Does anyone know if you can rack-mount the Stage Clix receiver (without having to bodge it) into a 1U space?

It doesn't look like it to me dude :(

BUT...
