I want an economical wireless bass thingy.

[Dandelion]

Is there currently a standout choice for bass, ideally for less than £100.

I want to move around the stage a little more.


Ta.

[Dandelion]

AKG WMS40 any cop?

[LiamPodmore]

You can probably find a used Line 6 G30 for less than that. That seems to be the standard on the cheaper end at the moment.

A bit more than 100 notes but well worth the money, and Chris the boss is quite active on here too.

Be wary of the hard wired cable on the Alesis.

If you can stretch to this, highly recommended. I have one and love it. The service from Smooth-Hound is first class too.

I would say that this is the way to go now given that Sony appear to have stopped producing their DWZB30GB

+2 for this system. Dood made me buy it.

But it's brilliant and I love it.

[Dandelion]

Right. Will wait to I can afford the smooth hound one. Thanks chaps.

[Oopsdabassist]

You're more than very welcome!

This is definitely the best basschat website in the world!! Thanks guys!

I just bought a Smoothound with a second transmitter. I did so based on the fact it was the only unit to do what I needed, it was easy to get a second transmitter and the price is outstanding for what you get.

I can say that after a couple of setup issues (My fault I might add) that I love it. I spoke to Chris to get info on how best to place it etc and was getting replies within 2 hours. The customer support is just as good as the unit.

I've now gigged it last weekend (5 gigs in one weekend) and it didn't fail once. Well worth the money. I even was able to participate in a conga while playing on Sat.

FYI Chris, if you read this it's Grant that emailed you a couple of weeks ago.

I was considering one of these, but now I'm having second thoughts!

[PaulWarning]

I got an AKG perception PT45 off the bay for £65, no trouble at all apart from the battery going flat mid gig, I now use a new battery every gig, got 20 for a quid from poundland, they last 3 hours

What kind of power supply does the smooth hand receiver take??

9v centre positive. Chris does supply an adaptor that lets it run off a centre neg pedalboard supply, I had some interference issues so run mine with the supplied psu .

[Oopsdabassist]

I use rechargeables in my smoothound, 2 AAA's in the tx, and 2 charging on my powerstrip..ALWAYS ready to rock!!

hello, are there any plans for a dedicated belt pack version? I've had bad experiences with using female to female adapters in the past and this is the only sticking point that stops me swapping my Line6 system for a Smoothhound one.

also what current does the receiver require?

thanks

Matt

You don't actually need a female to female adaptor. I made my own 1/4" male to female cable as below and this works perfectly.

Good to hear you're enjoying the system Grant. Guess you found the cause of the 'farty sound'

As Muppet says you can make up a female-male patch cord but we've had zero reports of problems using the Neutrik Rean NYS236 female-female adapter (with over 700 sets in the field now) and it fits very well with the transmitter. It's a reliable solution letting you use the transmitter in two different ways so we don't currently have plans for a belt pack version.

The maximum the receiver can draw is 230mA but that's dominated by the LEDs. I know some users have been happy running it from a 200mA isolated output. Note that it does need to be an isolated output.

Cheers Pete!

thanks for all the replies, I think as soon as funds allow I will spring for one of these, my power supply can put out up to 240mA isolated so I shouldn't have power issues.

Thanks again

Mat
