Subject:Re: OT: Bass Amps for Keyboards

Steve,
I played with the PRX series just the other day at the Canton GC and was not impressed. They were not bad, but did not blow me away. I use one or two 10" EON G2 as my stage amps for my rig(s) and find them to be just fine, but they do lack a bit in low end when you really push them (I could care less casue that's what the main PA subs are for in my opinion) We do hve a pair of 15" EON G2 and I have messed around with them and they do produce a lot more low end than the 10" models. I have also compared the 10" and 15" EONs to the Mackie 450 and I like the EONs much better. Of course, your opinion could be totally different! Are you doing any synth stuff? If so take you synth module to GC and use any midi keyboard and test out the three above mentioned models, which are almost always in stock. Turn up a killer bass patch (like Taurus bass pedals) and crank it and make your own decision.

Thanks for the responses. So, it sounds like a bass rig would
possibly be OK for a clone or LH bass, but may not be ideal for keys
in general. I haven't been real crazy about the bass response in
most of the 'keyboard' amps I've owned, so that's why I started
considering a bass rig. It makes sense to me to go with something
that sounds good as a PA. I'm leaning towards the JBL EON15 G2, but
I'm also real curious about the new JBL PRX500 series with the built-
in Crown amps.
