cheap wireless units

[robert(original)]

i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with wireless stuff.
im usually pretty anti wireless(reminds me of bad 80's music) but since im doing so much running and moving around(and so is everyone else) then i feel like i need to invest.
plus i hate comming un-plugged.
so. any pro's? and big cons?

I think Fran's got a wireless setup... maybe PM him if he doesn't chime in.

The problem is if you do TOO much running and jumping you just lose signal. It happened to a friend of mine, and lead guitar cutting out mid-song isn't the best thing that could happen.

As long as you don't jump offstage like him, though, it sounds like a good idea.

i probly wouldn't be more than 20-30 feet from the signal box. is that too far for something midline?
i don't really want to spend more than 200 bones, and if i can find one used for cheapz then thats the best.
im just thinking about, cell phones, lights, electrical wiring, tv's etc.

The guys from Oxes used to use them. They walk all over the damn place, climb up on the bar wander around the crowd and such even walk outside the club. Always sounded perfect. They weren't a huge band or anything so I cant imagine this was top shelf stuff they were using.

It's been my experience you get what you pay for. I bought a mid-level AKG setup, and it was OK, but a bit noisy and cut some low end off my bass. I haven't been in a metal band for years though, so I don't use one anymore. Sennheiser makes some quality stuff, IMO.

Make sure you check its frequency range, whatever you get. Make sure you're not losing anything important.

A lot of peeps really like the Line6 digital system. They were a different brand that got bought by Line6, so hopefully they won't skank out on you.
