SimonEdward Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hello! I've recently been looking into the possibility of acquiring a pre loved Line 6 Wireless system, from their G-series range. In the last few minutes, I've been on to Anderton's website (to check the RRP) and noticed the following disclaimer on the G-30; "please note: Line 6 Relay transmitters are NOT compatible with active pickups." Which is a blow. But begs the question: what are those who have gone wireless using? and/or - is there a work around we should know about? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I had a G30 and active basses and didn't have any issues except that it used to interfere with the radio mikes regardless of what channel I was on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see these Line 6 Relay systems on quite a few set up's and was curious............... 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The issue is that the bug uses a trs jack to check if it's in a guitar or charging cradle and some active preamps (not pickups) send a whine down the ring connection. This can be alleviated by using an extension lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a G30 for quite a while and never had an issue (albeit with passive basses as that's all i have) now got a G50 and no issues at all (mind you i've not used it much since lockdown!)

When I read the op I was sure it said G10. Seeing what I expected to see probably. I've successfully used the G30, G50 and G55 with active basses.

dave_bass5 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I too have used a G30 for many years, with passive and active. Never had any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I’ve got G70 and G75 and have no problems with EMGs. Stingray can be noisy with small bug type transmitters. Extension cable and moving the bug to the strap cured it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
