Woodinblack Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I had a problem at the gig yesterday with a bad noise problem (that I suspect was something to do with a sound engineer - haven't had it before), so I stripped my pedal board apart trying to get rid of it. In the end I decided to go with a cable straight to the amp which cut it down, but meant for the first time I wasn't wireless. And frankly I didn't enjoy it - constantly having to move the cable out the way to not tread on it! As to the active bass thing, if a system uses a trs to charge itself (which seems a dumb idea), it won't work with the majority of active systems, as that is how they switch on. Or a Gibson darkfire for that matter. I guess because active guitars are less common they do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Thinking about it, for those not going wireless, I’m always amazed that anyone doesn’t tuck their cable through through their strap... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have also used the Velcro cable tie on my cables, the type with a slot for the cable to pass through. Push the tie to the bass end of the and then thread the tie through the ladder of your guitar strap. Holds just as well and offers the cable some float.

I did it once twenty years ago, trod on my lead and pulled it out, even at rehearsal I'd take it round the strap now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
