Hey Bob,
I've been looking for a better wireless and have been reading up on the X2 myself. I've read a lot of online reviews on the X2 and a lot of people say things like "it sounds the same as a short cord" which makes me want one.
However, I've also read about some issues. The ones I saw mentioned were: 1) Short battery life in the transmitter - 3 hours max 2) In the cheaper model - the one that goes for 299 - people are saying range may be as short as 30-35' even though the specs say 150' 3) A number of people mentioned that the 1/8" plug that plugs into the transmitter does not seat well and can become intermittent.
If you could comment on these areas when you try it out, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

I got the XDSPLUS for my wife as a Christmas present to replace a problematic Guitar Bug for her bass guitar. So far she has only used it for a couple of practices and their New Years Eve gig, but she is already complaining about battery life in the transmitter. On the plus side, we both love the sound of it so the additional battery cost looks to be worth the better performance. At first impression it sounds like a cord, which her Guitar Bug never did even when it worked.
As to range, at the first practice she wasn't 100% happy with it's sound until she remembered to attach the antennas.....
It worked, but the response wasn't very clean. I'm not too worried about range on the stages we play.
