Brian, I can't thank you enough for the attention you are giving me.
Thanks for all the kind tips and observations, they are all really appreciated.
This is the reason why this forum is one of the best places in the world! Thank you Brian, thank you all!
Alembic is something... It not only makes the finest bass possible, but it also gets you together with the finest people around!!

I've had a Shure ULXS system for years that I've been very happy with. Very little change in sound compared with a cable. Better than most other wireless systems that I've tried.

However, if I had to buy a new system now, I'd probably go with the X2.

I have been using a Sennheiser Evolution for several years and have been very happy with. I play everything from small clubs to large outdoor venues and the Sennheiser has plenty of range and my bass sounds great.

Hi, I use a DB Technologies Digital Wireless DWS 2400. I especialy bought this digital unit because it can handle the lower frequenties of my five-string basses (I owned a ssenheiser before and missed bottom with that unit). I'm very happy with it, I use it for 3 years now and never had any problems with it!

Thanks a lot, really!

I use the X2. You have to use a Y cable or make up your own cable to get the full frequency output, the default wiring gives you a hi end roll off (meant to mimic a long cable). Can you hear this roll off ? Yes. Does it matter? It depends on how you wish to sound when you play and what amplification your using.

I roll my own cables so i make my own custom X2 outs. It's not difficult to do this if you need the full frequency out, otherwise you a standard insert cable ( 1/4 stereo one end, 2 mono the other ends) would allow you to do this (You would have two outputs, 1 full, and 1 rolled off).

I have recently been in touch with Stageclix, and their testing is done - hopefully they will be ready to roll their systems out. They make digital wireless systems too.

Is there any solutions to use a Series instrument wireless, and not use the batteries, while going wireless?? Or do I have to forget about the 5 pin cord?
Perhaps a portable DS 5 powered by some batteries??

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using the DS-5 anywway?

gregduboc · « **Reply #26 on:** May 08, 2009, 06:14:48 AM »

Well, I guess it would... Damn...

I seem to remember this question coming up before, and someone posting a link to a Japanese site where someone built a battery operated wireless that powered the 5 pin. IIRC it was built into a stompbox type enclosure. Perhaps someone will remember.

Bill, tgo

I remember it as well, Bill. I think it was a heftier battery pack that hung from the belt and sat between the bass and the wireless. It will still be batteries no matter what you do, but probably longer lasting and easier to swap than the ones in the bass. Also, you won't have stereo unless you plan on running dual wireless units. At that point, you'll probably need a harness and look like you're in full tactical gear.

I'll do a quick search and see if I can locate the prior discussion.

Wouldn't it be easier to run Stereo-Wireless using a 1/4' Y cable, 1 stereo male to 2 mono male jacks and use two wireless transmitters?

Either way, mucho batteries needed.
