Dandelion Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Is there currently a standout choice for bass, ideally for less than £100. I want to move around the stage a little more. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 A bit more than 100 notes but well worth the money, and Chris the boss is quite active on here too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Smooth-Hound-Innovations-K1100_K2100-Wireless/dp/B010FK9MMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirmuppet Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
