Members azmyth Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm singing for a cover band, and we do a few covers that have piano/synth parts. I used to play a little when I was younger, so I'm trying to just learn the parts for the songs we play.. and I need something sort of inexpensive that will sound decent for this until I can afford something better. I know nothing about keyboards, and more about guitar amps.. help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Korg Krome should have you covered if you want new. If you want used, there's a ton of options... it all depends on your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members azmyth Posted February 21, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Silly question, I have a bass rig I'm thinking of selling.. a behringer 180w head, and a 15" speaker cab.. would it be better to run my keys through the PA and just sell this rig, or would it be helpful to keep the rig?

Members AnotherScott Posted February 22, 2013 Members Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yamaha MX49 would be a lot cheaper than a Krome for a good starter keyboard. Or, for something "synthier," maybe a Casio XW-P1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted February 22, 2013 Members Share Posted February 22, 2013 An actual budget would help. "Sort of inexpensive" may mean something quite different to you than most regulars here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tullsterx Posted February 22, 2013 Members Share Posted February 22, 2013 Cocerning your amp question, I would use the bass rig to power the keys on-stage. Too many risks and variables when it comes to relying on a PA monitor system in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members walkerci Posted March 30, 2013 Members Share Posted March 30, 2013 In general, I'd tend to agree. I'm getting very good results with a JBL PRX612 as a keyboard monitor and its loud enough to carry the house in a small bar with moderately loud band. Caveat - using piano, organ, strings voices. For bass heavy stuff, I'd be using one of my bass rigs to monitor and subs on the FOH too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zzzxtreme Posted March 31, 2013 Members Share Posted March 31, 2013 I use my randall ss guitar amp as keyboard amp. Works well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
