I am happy with my smooth hound for gigging, its receiver is on the pedalboard. However, when I am practicing I don't always bring that and certainly in the house I don't. So I had looked at the boss unit but no-one seems to know if it would work with a Ibanez SR bass, so not really an option at that price.
A friend mentioned getting a cheap wireless on amazon for £35, as as a non amazon user, I looked on ebay and found something that looked the same for £24.95. Worth a try I thought:
Turned up today, just these and a double headed USB cable (for charging both at the same time). They weigh approximately nothing at all, certainly a lot lighter than the smooth hound, which is because they weight less than the batteries in it. The joint is just plastic friction, which works fine as there is no weight and they don't flap around for the same reason. They are a little bigger than the looked in the advertising (that green thing has centimetres on the bottom (but strangely, half inches on the squares) on it so you can see the size.
Trying them in my music room they work fine, better than fine in fact. I know this isn't a challenging environment and the only reason I would use wireless in my room is that there leads everywhere and when my wife wants to sing as well, it gets a little crowded.
These are certainly good enough for practice though, and TBH, I don't see why they wouldn't also be ok for a gig. but I will leave that until I have had a practice evening with them, just to see what the battery lifespan is - the battery power must be small with the weight.
Anyway, main take away, £25, they work.
