stewblack Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Tuck the transmitter in your pocket, when you take the bass off you find you're still attached - cue awkward overhead bass juggling. Attach it to the strap securely enough and moving to another bass in a hurry becomes a pita. Solution? Simples! 3M Dual Lock. What solutions have you found after a ridiculously long time?

Lozz196 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 My findings have been to only buy wireless kits where the transmitters are bugs that plug directly into the instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Ok, clip on tuners haven't been around that long compared to how long I've been playing, but......... Finally buying one clip-on tuner per instrument so I don't have to swap one around depending on where I'm going with which instrument. Same for straps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What solutions have you found after a ridiculously long time? 3M Dual Lock is not known for coming off that easily. I think I would be concerned about the finish on my basses. I tried to remove some from the back of a pedal I was selling and was a heck of job to get it off. Even when I did, it left a hefty bit of residue behind. EDIT: Doesn't it get in the way when you're playing standing up? I think it would for me.

Then I looked at getting another transmitter and it was about £170 or something. Then Andertons did the blowout on the G75 set for £149.99. So I bought that. Got another transmitter on the cheap and a spare base unit, albeit it the different shape. Bargain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audio exciter got audio over excited, overheated, melted the glue holding it together and prolapsed onto the floor. Back as they say, to the drawing board. @stewblack ,In spirit of lessons learned.......... please consider the position of your new innovation, and the fate of your previous innovation😕.
