Hello. I'm thinking of trying a bluetooth transmitter/receiver to send the line out of my bass amp to another amplifier/cabinet. Are there any problems with this approach such as latency ,noise, interference etc? Thanks
You won't like it. You'll likely have sync issues.

Yup. To name one.problems with this approach such as latency
Then there's the lousy ADC/DACs that you're going to be pushing your signal through. And the interference from all the other things in the same, publicly shared bandwith.
Only if you want an always-on slap echoBut it's worth a try for a satellite system.
Stick "latency through bluetooth" in your favourite search engine. Now, if you're going to write all the drivers (etc) you might be able get that down to a usable point (what's the O/S you're going to use?)
But if you want a working wireless system, get an FM mike setup.

I even tried small stand-alone Bluetooth transmitters and receivers, which I hoped would have less latency than a general-purpose PC running a badly engineered complicated operating system (cough Windows cough) that's doing a million things other than Bluetooth every second.
But no go, there was at least a tenth of a second's delay. Even more than normal slap-echo, actually, as it would take a glass wall 50 feet away to generate that long and loud a delay!
At one point circa 2013 I tried to help out a teacher friend by rigging up a microphone to the sound-card mic input of her Windows 7 PC, and running the output to a pair of powered speakers. The latency from mic input to line output was over a second. Without any Bluetooth.
Google turned up hundreds of almost identical complaints, and no solutions. Microsoft quality strikes again.
