And for gigging bassists with roadies they are most likely just stage props.

Yep, fair point 👍

Still, I’m not sure I can get the same tone…especially when cranked up.

There is a visceral response to high SPLs and the lower the frequency the greater the response, so yes, big bass cabs on stage have a real effect. But I doubt there's any longer a case for saying you can't get the same tone via other means, both sides of the equation - signal processing and amplification - have just moved on so much.

 

And that's ignoring the negative effects of high SPLs

@ardi100 you might find one of the little laptop stands (Ikea Brada etc) useful if you have a micro/lightweight head and want to use that Eden as a wedge monitor.

I believe it on paper…guess a blindfold test is in order.
