"cheap, dependable, simple, just not strong and sexy."

Feature:
what the hell is the -15db pad for? who wants to play softer? i had to tape it over to keep from accidently turning it on, which cuts your gain. what a crock!

Quality:
i looked down during a gig and it was broke off, hanging by one skinny wire! It was still playing. I had to reinforce and redesign it to keep using it. I guess it's so small you cant make it strong. maybe they could cast the body from some non-ferrous metal or something to make it stronger.

Value:
yeah..worth it for the price. but they should send a refurbish kit so you can repair the broke plastic. Man! I like to never figured out how to keep it together\after it snapped. (wrapped it with aluminum stripping and screwed it back together.)

Desirability:
I use it to get a signal to may amp without a damn cord. No, I don't think it's sexy, and neither does any one else i know, what kinda question is that? Any of you out there think this little black box is sexy?

Sound:
no different than a cord, just nothing to trip over

Ease of Use:
an ameoba could figure it out.

Support:
never called, figured I'd get another friggin' menu tree. I hate those damn things.

Overall:
I'm thinking about buying another one. I'm already ordering some metal to prepare for when it breaks off my gtr again.

"One of a kind"

Feature:
Tons of features.More than you can expect for the money.

Quality:
The receiver is a 10,while I wish that the transmiter was solid as the the receiver.You really have to be carefull with mute and power switche.

Value:
The price fantastic although when I purchased this unit I paid higher than what it's being sold for now.

Desirability:
Just the fact that you can integrate it in you stompbox line-up,is beyond my expectations.

Sound:
it sounds great.Actually I can't tell if my bass any different with or without it.

Ease of Use:
No rocket science at all.

Support:
I never had to call the for anything and I've had this unit 2 years ago.I would not know.

Overall:
As long as it keeps working for as it's been,I don't need another product.

From Our Catalog
The ultimate in comfort, convenience, and performance, feather-light AIRLINE Series transmitters have made bulky beltpacks and cumbersome connecting cables obsolete. AIRLINE'S super efficient UHF circuits operate 14 hours on a single "AAA" battery introducing a new level of freedom to professional wireless performance. The revolutionary AirLine transmitter plugs-in directly to your bass. There is no body pack! The AIRLINE Bass system includes the AP1B UHF Receiver (looks like a stomp-box) featuring 1/4 in. unbalanced outputs.

The Airline UHF Bass Guitar System eliminates body packs with a tiny micro transmitter that plugs right into the bass guitar. The AP1B, the system's receiver, is designed to easily integrate into an effect pedal setup and features a shape circuitry yielding a fat bottom end and fullness never before heard in a wireless system for bass.

The revolutionary AirLine "plug-in" AG1 transmitter comes is designed for traditional end-mount inputs. Less than half the size of conventional body packs, this miniaturized transmitter runs on a tiny triple-A battery with 14-hours of battery life. It features an array of on-board controls: A Power On/Off and Mute switch, red/green LED for Power On/Off, a Peak LED and an Input Level control for different pickups. And UHF (Ultra High Frequency) means clearer frequencies with less interference.

Designed for use with your compact effect pedals, the APB1 diversity receiver gives you reception you can always depend on. It features a 1/4 in. output jack, Power switch, Peak LED and a Volume control. You can use a 9 volt battery or an AC adapter to power the receiver. When you unplug your the unit, the battery is disabled to conserve power.
