ianrendall Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 My current rig, a GK MB200 and a BF Midget, is the giving me the best sound I’ve ever had so far. But I am more than intrigued by this FRFR stuff. I already have pretty slick portability, light weight and a sound I’m very happy with, I rarely if ever go through FOH and the MB200 does, surprisingly, give me enough volume for my needs. So what benefits would an FRFR rig give me? Does FRFR give a ‘truer’ sound? Can I just plug the bass straight into the speaker or does it need a preamp of some kind, say a Sansamp or equivalent pedal to give some control over EQ? I’m not really that interested in effects or modelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 You'd probably find a bass though any speaker with no type of frequency shaping lacking. Even bass amps that supposedly have flat response when the tone/EQ knobs are set to noon still tend to have a pretty fair amount of pre-shape EQ.

ianrendall Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 @ped please can you lock this topic. I’m going to try and glean some answers from the big FRFR thread, although it’s a shame it seems to descend into petty arguments about dinosaurs and willy waving rather quickly.

When I started that topic it was meant to be a fairly innocuous observation tbh. There’s some brilliant stuff in there though. However, this is the internet so inane comment and argument is pretty inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
