    Sorry for my bad english, I'm speaking about a BASS-guitar.

    What exactly is a sender or reciever. I have never heard of them.
    

    Hi JAQUES,
    
    I don't know what you call it, but I'd like to get rid of
    the cable between my bass and the amp. I've seen guitarists
    useing it on stage. It is one sender (transmitter) plugged
    to the guitar whitch sends the signals from the microphone
    and one receiveing unit plugged to the amp. Hopefully this
    could give me a chance to combine bassplaying and danceing!? 
    on stage. I Hope you will understand what I'm after.

    I guess this is the best place as any to stick this...
    
    Anyone out there tried the Perfect Connection Preamp designed by
    Lee Jackson of Metaltronix??
    
    Sounds good, but has anyone more info on this? 
    The Marshall needs more blast these days, in case your wondering...

    	Most of the wireless systems I've seen were the Nady 201 wireless
    system costing about $225.00.  A company called Telex makes one
    also which costs about $690.00.

    Thanks for your replies,
    
    Could you recomend any music shops in New York where I can find
    this type of stuff.

    In N.Y. try Manny's Music and Sam Ash Music. They both have been
    N.Y.'s largest stores for years and do lots of mail order, too.
    
    I have also seen wireless systems from Sampson and Shure. I suggest
    you look at them close before buying. I have heard that a lot of
    them have problems with interference. 
    
    My cousin bought a Sampson. He found his Strat worked good through
    it, but his Ovations acoustic/electric wouldn't work properly with
    it. He ended up bringing it back to the store where he bought it.
    They said that Sampson was introding a new one that was suppossed
    to be much better, and would replace any units with the new ones
    as soon as they were available. 
    
    

    I'll try placing this note here.  I'm looking for an acoustic guitar
    to learn to play on.  I don't know which would be better steel or
    nylon string.  I could use advice on which is easier to play and
    care for.  In looking around some of the stores have recommended:
    Magnum 300 for $90, Fender for $120, and Hondo for $200.  I feel
    more comfortable keeping the price maybe under the $120 mark, but
    if necessary I could go higher.  I'm interested in getting the best
    buy for my money.  I'm outside the Detroit area, but if I could
    get some recommendations I am willing to mail order something. 
    Also some suggestion on book that would help me to learn the basics
    on chords and such things before I would start to take lessons.

    > Type of giutar??
    
      This depends on the type of music that you are going to play,
    also on the size of your hand. Most people begining find it hard
    to cord on a nylon (clasical) guitar and much prefer a thiner neck.
    If you have long fingers and want to play clasical or spanish music,
    then go with the nylon stings. If your fingers are short, go with
    the steel string guitar. The steel stings will be harder on your
    fingers but only at first. Once you build up the skin this sould
    not matter.
    
    > Fender $120
    
       From the list that you gave, I would go with the Fender. There
    guitars in ths price range are rather well built and can take a
    lot of punishment that a beginer might inflict. Make sure that the
    action (the distance the strings are from the finger board) is not
    to high. If it is then it will be painful fora long time and the
    beginer might get discuraged. This is an ajustment that they can
    make for you at the store.

You might also look at USED stuff.  You can stick with the ~$100
price and find a better instrument.  There are probably some nice
used Yamaha's, Takamine's, and Alvarez's (Yairi?) in that range.

Find something you like in a store for @ $250 list, then keep
an eye on the for sale papers for a better deal.

    To the person in the Detriot area:
    
    try Elderly Instruments in Lansing for a very good selection of
    good new and used guitars, it's very near Lansing Community College
    and the Capital area downtown, they're well known throughout the
    country for a good selection of vintage instruments and advise!!
