Wireless recommendation - some questions also.

[Cannibal]

I'm after a good quality wireless solution, problem is I have two basses I want to use it on, one with 45 degree and the other with a 90 degree jack plug. I like the the reviews i've been seeing on the Samson Airline 77, but i'd have to comit to one type of transmitter, are there any solutions with both in the pack? Or have an adaptable transmitter? (Not a big fan of the pocket pack solution).

In general though what's worth the cash? What do you guys use?

Worth mentioning the vocals are wireless and one of the guitars is also (Shure & Sennheiser)... I don't want to get interferance from either.

Thanks.

You can buy the transmitters separately, the downside being they're not far off the price including the receiver. You might be able to do a deal on a package if you went to a shop.

I had the AP1 which is similar except the receiver is effect pedal size. It was ok, though I found it too easy to accidentally hit the pad switch on the transmitter ( the right angle AG1 version). There's also the AP1B which is supposedly better for bass. I gave up with it after I bought a couple of basses with the jack on the bottom edge. I thought the bug would be likely to fall out, though I never tried it.

I use the Samson APB-1 and it's the only system I've tried that works reliably with regular long gigs and all the sweat and jumping about involved. I think all the 'bugs' are a better design generally than belt packs. I think the AKG bug can be pivotted to fit any angle of input jack socket if that's any use to you/

Ive got a AKG bug and it does pivot so you can use it with most instruments. It also comes with a slightly longer screw on jack plug for recessed instruments like strats.

I used the AKG Bug and WMS400 for about 2 years and it was amazing then I switched top a tube amp and the hiss that appeared from the 2 being close to each other was unbarable so I sold both and now I'm thinking of trying the X2 rackmount wireless if anyone has any experience with them?

A friend of mine is currently testing (they have formed a test team or something like that) and he is quite impressed.

What i really like about that system is the way the transmitter charges. Great idea and ill be on the look out for one when the bass version comes out.

Try and stay at least 2 MHz away from the nearest frequency.
i.e. if a guitar is on 854.9MHz and the Vox are on 858.65MHz then around the upper 856MHz area [i]should[/i] be OK.

It's never too good when different brands of wireless equipment are used in the same room, in close proximity and in the same frequency range.
There is no right or wrong answer unfortunately, you will just need to use a trial and error method to get a clean frequency at the gig.
