Wireless Guitar Systems

[evil len]

At a gig last night which was epic, but in funny shaped corner of a room, I got fed up of trying to disentangle my lead from my kit, my mic stand, the bass guitarist ... you name it, I was getting tangled with it when trying to go walkabout like I normally do ! So I'm thinking of a wireless system, but I know nothing of them ....

I need a system that's going to be 100% reliable, noiseless, and work with the other guitarists wireless system and the lead singers wireless mic. I swap between a strat and a les paul, so naturally it's got to work with both

Anyone got any experience (good or bad) or preference with wireless guitar systems ?
Is there any manufacturer who's better than the rest ? Or any to avoid ?
Which is better, pack or "bug" types ?
How do the packs work, do they clip to your jeans or go in your back pocket or something ?
Whats a good price to pay, there are some for £100 but are they junk and not suitable for semi pro scenarios ?

I had a Nady True Diversity system a few years ago which worked flawlessly. The battery pack clips onto your jeans or you can do it like Angus and clip/tape it to your guitar strap.

I had a Nady system a number of years ago that worked well - I can't remember the model number unfortunately but is was a great system.

I'm back to leads now though - I get too confused moving and playing

I had a Nady 201 that worked just great even on some pretty large stages. The bass player had the same model (on a different frequency - check the box!) and the only time he ever had an issue was with the Bingo caller in the hall next door to Dudley JBs back in the day.

It could have been hugely annoying were it not so hilarious. "All the 8s ..." etc.

Cheers for the replies. I'll check out Nady.

I think most of them today have a choice of frequencies, so you can change if someone is interferring.
