when were wireless guitar systems developed. i know the above videos are live and i see cords in the guitars but not on the floor. the performance was from the early seventies.

I always wondered how they moved so well in those platform shoes.

You spend a few days practicing wearing them and walking up and down stairs.  Mine were 6" black leather platforms.

Apparently in the 1970's

I bought one around 78 IIRC.  and by then it was  affordable so i would assume for "stars" they were around years before.  Just had to watch out for metal mic stands causing interference.

The Hayman did sell for $900. I'm surprised.

I'm not. 70's Fenders that are dogs go for near 2k and even being a POS, that Hayman is a rare bass from the 70's. The fact that it's rare because nobody wanted them matters little.
