Afro Droid Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think they're pretty cool, and technology has come along a fair bit in recent times, but a decent one is still pretty expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 i was gonna look into one of these for christmass - when i practice / play i tend to circle in one direction then my wires cross over like spagetti. Dont know how much i'd be willing to spend on one - prolly about 100 max. But i'd say they're a green light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 for a good quality one, i recommend spending over 200i've used wirless kits that have cost about 100 and they are pretty shitty. i switched between the two and the leads were about 10 times betterfor novelty value they are cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 The 44s just bought some AKG ones..... Obviously having an 8 piece on a small stage can cause a huge deal of tangles etc....They were bought from www.soundslive.co.ukAKG Sr40s and GB40s169 instead of 219.... They got a few more in stock also....You need to let them know what type of guitar it`s for as some guitars have a different input...Although this is mainly for SG / Tele and Strat users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spellchecker Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 do you think they're any good for bass? i'd love to have no leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I heard they can suffer from interference, that put me off getting one for this christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 "They don't make em like they used to...."Those AKG things are UGLY....I like the good ol packs that you tape to your strap...the only decent ones are around the 300+ price range....plus I'd rather have rack mounted receiver as a little box thing is bound to fall off your amp and get broken real quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hairy Scary Mark Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 i would like to get one some day but i would rather spend money upgrading the rest of my setup or investing in spares incase things go wrong.The cheap ones often dont sound very good. You also risk your unit picking up other peoples and vise versa. The best way to stop this is to buy a licenced frequency so nobody else can use your frequency. I heard this costs around 75 a year. I have also seen a lot of interfeirance caused by other electrical devices with radio mic's.If you get one make sure you change your battery regularly.I dont think they would be that hard to break so if you get one make sure you bring a lead as backuip.
