I know this is really off topic but what kind of wireless system do you guys use with your bongo? :)
 
I use the Sennheiser EW172G2. It's very transparent, has a long battery life, and has been flawless so far. I've been using it at home and at practice, and will be playing my first gig with it this coming Saturday.

I've gotten over 100 feet away in our practice studio and it still worked fine. This is with multiple walls between me and the receiver. Plenty of range as far as I'm concerned.
 
I use a Shure SLX and love it. Hasn't dropped a signal yet doesn't squash the signal and it is awesome with a low B string (which is why I got away from my old Boss wireless)
 
Don't have it yet, but gonna go with a Lectrosonics IS400 digital instrument system. This is a system coming down from the pro world to the MI world - they have a variant that can be used for a mic channel for a realtime analyzer, it's that flat . . . . . not cheap though - $1250 or so. www.lectrosonics.com, if anyone cares . . . .

I use a Samson Airline as well. It's very good! The only prob is it takes one or two more steps to get yourself all setup and sometimes I'm just too lazy for that. :p
 
Mine is no trouble to set up at all. A cord for power, one cord from the pedal board to the amp and plug the bug into the bass.

It all stays in this handy dandy case.

Planning to pick-up a Shure PGX... My guitarist uses one and has been very pleased.

Next gig on the calendar is August 5th - I will have mine by then! :)

Can't wait for the freedom of wireless...

I think everyone on this earth uses that tuner.

I know I do and I love it! :D


Nope....I have a Sabine RT-1600 (the old one) in my rack, and a Peterson VS-II on my desk at home. No electronic tuner beats the Peterson.
 
Have a Shure something or other. Not next to it for a number sorry. It does work good when I choose to use it though.

What Larry said about Samson Airline. Mine's served me very well for more than 5 years now. More than 12 hours on a single AAA, no dropouts, good range, very transparent tone.
 
I "hear things" sometimes...that count as "wireless"??


<---Bayou Cables for me.

Ditto (not sure of model).

It's handy for double checking the 'front of house' sound too.
