If so what model wireless and does it fall off below a certain frequency or note? dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 909 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 23, 2008 - 10:10 am:    I use a shure pgx system, no problems. I also tune down a 1/2 step. lmiwa Intermediate Member Username: lmiwa Post Number: 116 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Sunday, November 23, 2008 - 1:22 pm:    Shure ULXS4, basses tuned down 1/2 step, no problems! Most wireless manufacturers publish the frequency response for their systems. Many guitar systems cut off well above the low end of even a 4-string bass. I've checked a few systems with a signal generator and scope and they all matched their published specs. Another concern may be dynamic range. Systems that don't use some type of compression/expansion often run out of range between max signal before distortion and min signal to stay above the noise floor. But systems that do use comp/exp can often mess with your sound. You'll probably notice it most if you're a slap/pop type player. It's not quite as bad on the fingerstyle stuff. That said, I use a good quality cord whenever possible, and use the wireless when I need the convenience. I would NEVER recommend recording through a wireless system!

Same technology - same huge dynamic range (10 Hz - 20 kHz) with no compression. I had an original X-Wire and A/B'd it with the new X2. There is no difference. I highly recommend the X2. rockbassist Intermediate Member Username: rockbassist Post Number: 160 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 9:45 am:    I suggest Sennheiser or Shure. I use a Sennheiser. I play everything from small venues to large outdoor gigs and have never had any problems. mario_farufyno Junior Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 19 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 8:14 pm:    Use a digital system like the X2, noise free, no compression, no loss...
