Subject:Re: OT: Bass Amps for Keyboards

>I have recently bought a Hartke HS1200 Kickback bass amplifier to use
with my Roland piano and Xb2 setup.

It is the 12 inch speaker model with three band EQ on rotary controls
and a shape control. The speaker is a single 12" aluminium cone and the
sound is excellent. Due to the kick back design it is suotable for use
as a monitor as well as a front line amp for smaller gigs. Highly
recommended.
