Jaye: Cut off the plug on your wireless' cord & solder on a Switchcraft 280 plug. That's the standardized 1/4" mono plug that will work in every 1/4" jack. I came across the same problem you are having with 1/4" cables made by Samson, Hosa, & especially Groove Plugs.
Getting back to the original post...... If you want to see something Really different, small, loud, lightweight, that has great tone, email me & I'll fill you in & tell you where to get it. Jim

My standard bass is mahogany & has good botttom & mids. I have several basses in ash & 1 in alder. I don't care for the alder woods tone for bass. I like the midrange harmonics of ash. Korina might be interesting for bass. Sound might be a cross between ash & mahogany. Midrange harmonics + full resonant lows & light weight? Jim
