Best wireless system

[donf]

I've been using an Electar wireless guitar setup for several years and for the money, it did a good job. Its on its way out though.

What wireless system would be the best for the money, $300.00 and under? I'm not worried about range. I'm more worried about clarity.

Why do you say that?

UHF and true diversity are the only things you need to concern yourself with when getting a new wireless, make sure its got both.

Been banged around one to many times.

I use some sansan wireless , it is ok , but then again the only one that i have tryed too so i can't tell how good it is compared to others.

I picked up one of the sunnheiser digials (used) on ebay for about $200. It used it for about 1 year now and has worked flawlessly. I can't remember the model number but it was in production ofr only a couple of year. I think it had the diversity system.

That's one of those knock-off brands, huh?

Maybe stick with Sennheiser...

Another vote for the Sennheiser Digital 1000, which is no longer made and I *believe* came from the technology that Sennheiser acquired from X-Wire. I LOVE mine - NO tone suckage, at least that I can hear. HIGHLY recommended if you can find one - check ebay. Only negative: 9V batt only lasts a few hours. Even though it's a few years old, I still think it's better than just about anything new on the market.

Sennheiser Digital 1000 or Sennheiser EW172 G2. Both of those units are awesome.

Here is what I have found after investigating and using many types of wireless systems.

If you are a touring pro you need to spend the big bucks.
If you do local gigs in local clubs you don't need to spend more than $200.00 for a VERY decent wireless system.
Samson and Shure both make VERY decent low priced wireless systems.
My ears couldn't tell the difference between a $1000.00 system and a $200.00 system. Heck, I could hardly tell the difference between a $1000.00 system and a $99.00 system. The big differences are ruggedmess and whether there are many other wireless systems on stage and how big the stage is.
Bottom line, you could spend around $100.00 used on Ebay or around $150.00 new at GC and have something that works great.

The thing is that many of us go wireless not because we have a 50' stage to run around on, but rather the opposite. The stage or area to play in is so small its a pain in the ass to use a cable because its always getting tangled up.
Thats why most of us don't need a totally pro wireless that is designed to be used in stadiums.
I did alot of research on this. The 2 things that are the most important are true diversity and UHF is better too. Thats about it.

Sennheiser G2, never had a problem, even at rooms where my other wireless systems have had problems in the past.
highly recomended

Yeah, after looking at a bunch of models, I decided on this on;

I was using the Electar system, which ran me $100.00 at the time and it did well on stage. It was a VHF system, but because of the inputs in the thread, I thought I'd give the UHF system a try. Thanks for all the inputs though. It'll be here tomorrow and I've got a gig Wed night, so I'll give it a go (with a cord backup of course ).

That was my next, but the one's I was looking at, at the time were just a little too far out of the range I was looking at. I'm sure if I wouldv'e waited a little longer, I would've found one, but I'm not a patient man.

Im using the AKG WMS400 package at the moment and its fantasitc, no drop outs, excellent signal clarity, only uses 1 battery (i use rechargables) battery life is a good 5-6 hours.
