Frequency response 48 - 1900hz That's lower than many purpose built bass cabs, and lower than the ones I'm currently using. So I can't see that it would be a problem. They're designed to handle a full band from bass to highs simultaneously. So I can't see how transients would be any worse than a bass cab. Again, having never used one I have no way of telling. All I have to go on are reviews, and the experience of other bass players, which seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Granted, if I was playing a stadium, then they'd need some serious PA support. But playing on a small bar or coffee shop. I can't see how they could fail to be honest.

Not even close. There's absolutely no comparison between the the FRFR I listed, and a 75w practice combo. You obviously didn't read any of the reviews. If you think that the low price is still a marker of low quality in today's market, then you've never used any Harley Benton gear.

Sadly the Barefaced is well out of my price range. It's three times the price of the FRFR I'm looking at, and weight wise the FRFR is only 14.6kg for the 12" version. So not much heavier.

I once slept with my teenage cousin. Sorry. I may have misunderstood the question.

Wow! Cool. I'm still struggling with the concept that a plastic full range speaker can replace a wooden, purpose built bass cab. Especially in the bass response and lower frequencies. I'm still going backwards and forwards on whether to get one of these or a couple of small, lightweight cabs. One of these would make far more sense, both financially and weight saving. Does anyone have any live recordings / videos of them in action please?

This is what I'm really interested in. I don't really play gigs big enough for PA support. We only use the PA for vocals and acoustic guitar. Does the QSC handle the bass well enough to be a standalone back line cab replacement for small to medium venues?

I'd quite like to slap Bob Geldoff. Does that count?

So, has anyone tried any of these new fangled FRFR speakers to use as on stage bass monitors instead of cabs? (I'll get my coat)

Thankfully highly unlikely where I live.

It certainly wasn't in the small print when I joined a band. 😅

Excellent! Well done.

Nice! I'm just waiting for the TC electronic 208's to come in stock to do the same thing. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that a lightweight, vertical stack is definitely the way to go.

I think my ESP LTD 6er has it's own gravitational field. Edit 14.22 pounds according to the website.

Another new release. It still doesn't have me jumping with excitement. But it's much more the classic GNR sound, and imho much better than Absurd. I'm not sure if it's YouTube, but again it sounds horribly produced.

I don't get why anyone thinks GnR vocals are awful. (current track excepted). For me, Axl is, and will always be, one of the greatest rock frontmen of all time. Slash once called him the man of five voices. Personally I think he undersold it.

They're Behringer 15's. So far only used for vocals and Uke. I've never had a need to use them for bass as I've always had decent sized back line cabs. Although I've tested them and they run bass just fine for the volume we play. So either a couple of small cabs for back line / stage monitoring or a FRFR, then a DI into the PA would work fine for our purposes. Anything louder and our PA wouldn't take handle it anyway. We're not cut out for festivals with the gear we have. But it copes just fine with pub / garden BBQ type gigs.

I actually thought it was a bit Prodegy-esque. Only not as good.

Yeah. 2 of the TC 2x8's are my other current option. I'm going backwards and forwards between them and the HB FRFR

Problem is, most lightweight cabs are prohibitively expensive, and/ or relatively low wattage. I've set my weight limit at 17kg, as that's the weight of our current PA speakers, which are just about manageable.

Sadly I have to say I agree with most of the above. Having given the track another couple of listens, despite my best intentions, I can't find any redeeming features. AFD is still my favourite album of all time. Lies was a mediocre bit of filler Use Your Illusions 1&2 were OK. I'd love to have heard the original demos before Axl overproduced them to death. Spaghetti Incident was a pretty good covers album which introduced me to a few punk songs I hadn't heard before. Chinese Democracy, meh! A couple of half decent tracks. This. Dross!

That's commitment!

Actually. If you were reading it in "Cyrillic" (The "Russian" alphabet actually comes from Bulgaria) It would be AVSTSYAD. There is no letter "u". The nearest thing in shape would be "ц", pronounced TS, and the "B" would be pronounced V.

Still like the look of the TC's though. Might order both from Thomann for a trial and take advantage of their very kind no questions asked returns policy. 😂
