Wireless For Bass

[Stealth]

Having joined another band playing a few outdoor jolly’s I feel the urge to run about albeit slowly at my age. 
a]Anyone recommend a wireless that doesn’t rob your bottom or squeeze your epic solo moments to death? Be nice if a mortgage wasn’t required I’m talking fundays and weddings not Glastonbury lol

I had a Boss WL20 (with the Cable Tone) for ages and love(d) it. I just set my EQ to allow for the slight ‘top’ it gave. I found it gave me some ‘punch’.

After struggling with dropouts recently I put this down to the (slightly) busier pubs we were playing so changed to the Blackstar Airwire i58 as it was the ‘most similar 5.8ghz from a brand I trust’ I could find. This one has switchable cable tone which I’m currently liking ‘on’.

OK I have to remember to charge them but I don’t have ‘another thing to plug in’.

I would add that I don’t really run (or walk!) about that much but I like the tone it gives me and they are great for sound checks as you can get to the back of the venue to see how it sounds.

Yep the Boss WL20 works well, pretty much the easiest to use on the market, just plug them together and they do it all for you.

 

If concerned about running on 2.4 as the Boss does then NUX do one that runs on 5.8 and is almost as easy to use - a couple of small on/off buttons.

Aye, I have the NUX in ears so ‘wanted’ their wireless as its 5.8. A plus point is the charging case! The thing that pushed me to Blackstar was that the NUX only have a 2hr (ish) battery life before needing to be charged in the case. An Open Mic play at goes on longer much than that - and generally people use my gear even if I don’t play - and a lot of gigs are 2 1/2 hrs. Didn’t want to risk it.

I saw both at the Bass Show and another plus is the Blackstar fit in an old glasses case and take up a lot less space in the old leads bag (should we still be calling them that now?).
