The new Hohner Hoodoo line has hit the retail outlets. I just ordered one from Coast2CoastMusic.com. I am a traditionalist, so I prefer the JT-30, but I like gadgets, too, so I want to try this out. I have a couple of wireless rigs, but I have never seen the advantage. This has a "ring" mic, so it might work out well.

Consisting of a bodypack transmitter with belt clip, a dual diversity UHF receiver, and the innovative Hoodoo Ring microphone, this system frees you from being tethered to your microphone.
The Hoodoo Hand system allows you to use your natural hand cupping and playing techniques while eliminating the need to deal with bulky bullet-style wired microphones. The patented Hoodoo Ring Microphone is a tiny lavalier mic that's been tweaked to produce the low-fi, overdriven sound most blues players crave, while still being capable of producing relatively clean output when the music or your style requires it. The mic nestles in a clip with two finger holes that slip over your middle and ring fingers. Hohner includes two clips with different finger hole diameters to fit a wide range of finger sizes. The beauty of the design becomes obvious the moment you begin playing. Without a bulky mic occupying most of the cavity formed by your cupped hands, an acoustic space is created for producing a wide range of effects like flutters and tremolos. And because it's easy to create a tight seal between your hands and mouth, your sound has all the punch and dynamics you could hope for.
The dual-diversity UHF-band receiver has both 1/4 inch and balanced XLR outputs so you can send your signal to either an amp or the PA. The front panel has a convenient rotary volume knob for fast onstage adjustments and indicators for power, normal and peak signal levels, and lights that indicate which antenna is in use.
The system comes in a durable plastic travel case and includes a magic Hoodoo drawstring bag for accessories.

I had a microphone cord made by Rapco Horizon. The pack end is a mini XLR. TA3F. Shure uses a TA4F which is A 4 pin style.

I got one. Tone: fair, wireless quality: good, feedback resistance: unsatisfactory in my admittedly high-volume gigging situation. Needs a variable volume control on the wireless transmitter as well as a way to hook up other microphones other than the ring setup. Connectors at transmitter are non-standard so to hook up another mic you are going to have to have to cobble it up yourself.
