redbandit599 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Hi all I use a bug type wireless transmitter and prefer to attach it to my strap via a cable rather than just plug it in to the bass. I have a moulded block that I bought when I had a Smoothhound but wanted to have something on other straps ready. The pouch type holders that I've seen aren't really designed for the bugs. So, I'm going to try this. A Rean NYS236 connector and a plastic P Clamp with a little nut and bolt. The bolt could be a little shorter, but it looks like it'll work.

It's around the back, have to be particularly flexible to pull that off 😉 It is a worthwhile point though - swapping for a plastic nut and bolt will be the Mk2 - cheers!

redbandit599 Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 I've seen the Xvive pouches, a bit small for my transmitter unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK. Why should you listen to the voices in my head when half the time I don't bother to myself? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, if I'm honest, I prefer the aesthetic of a right angle cable to the transmitter sticking out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) The problem with wireless bugs... is that they look pants in pictures. Have a lovely looking vintage guitar... with a bit of plastic tat hanging out of it, hence the case is quite a cool alternative.

Useful if you're not going to be changing instruments, but not so good doing changes as you either have to take the strap off and put it on the other bass or take the bug out of one pouch and put it in the other. Another alternative would be a short extension lead and stick the bug in your pocket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
