WIRELESS. whos got em?
ok.
who has one, and what do you use?
also, which would you reccommend?
not really interested on opinions on the guitarbug systems, im aiming more at the sennheiser evolution series and the mid price audiotechnica gear range.

I had an AKG guitar bug and thought it good until one day I just happened to plug direct into the amp immediatly after uses the wireless. Man, it was so different. I had never realised how much tone was being robbed. The top range ones should be good but look at spending way over $1000
Our lead guitarist still uses an AKG.
The plus of cable is you have a lot less to worry about, most venues don't give you much space to move around on stage anyway. I noticed at most of the medium sized concerts I have been to over the past year, very few use wireless.

Never put down to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity

That's a great point, Phillip.
I've played with guitarists who use wireless no matter what - even though they never move from one spot, about 200mm right in front of their amp all night - due to room at venues.
All those batteries - giving up their lives pointlessly.....

yeah, i know that theres no real need for a wireless in most venues (especially when youre ina 7 peice band). and having played in most main venues in the country i have a fair idea of how much i'd need one (never, but i'd use it anyway!!!!!!!)
but i liked the freedom i had with one. and special occaisions like NYE gigs and the Beach Day Out tour and stuff it could come in handy.

> Please don't walk out in the audience playing.
LOL - there's a local club band here with a very dodgy bass player who goes completely wireless all the time. I nearly lost it when I went to check the band out (as you do) at the RSA and saw him wandering around the dance floor perimeter during a gig. People all dancing round him etc.
The bass player in question is next to useless (that's the guitarist) but he has the holy grail - a PA and a van!! That's often the only way some players can get gigs!! True!!
