AKG WMS 40 UHF FOR GUITAR & BASS

THE GB 40 GUITARBUG FOR GUITAR AND BASS

Too long. Too short. Forgot it. Tied up in knots. Tangled up. Gone. Pins reversed. Disconnected. Broken. Must be hard to find a guitarist or bassist who never got furious about their cables and the related mess.

The convenient alternative from AKG is called the GB 40 guitarbug, a WMS 40 Microtools Series miniature transmitter specifically designed for guitars and bas- ses. It matches any instrument with a 1/4" TS jack, including keyboards. The spring-

loaded "FlexJack" swiveling jack plug connects to the instrument and pulls the transmitter against the instrument. The soft-touch coating on the transmitter bot- tom panel stabilizes the transmitter on the instrument and prevents the instrument surface from being scratched.

The GB 40 guitarbug is a UHF transmitter with superior price/performance. Optimized for use by guitarists and bassists at small clubs, rehearsal rooms, or local communi- ty centers, it is exceptionally easy to use.

The operating cost of the GB 40 is surpri- singly low, too. A single AAA size 1.5 V dry battery will last for about eight hours of continuous playing. If you use many bat- tery powered effects units and tuning devi- ces, spending an appreciable part of your fees on batteries for your equipment, you can power the GB 40 with a rechargeable battery (six hours battery life). The optio- nal CU 40 charger will fully charge the GB 40 guitarbug in half an hour, and the half- rack receiver can be rack mounted as easi- ly as you can put it in your guitar bag.
