Truckstop Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hello all, I've started a small pub covers band and I'll be playing keys. Up until now, I've been using rehearsal room gear. For pubs I'll just need a combo to keep up with the rest of the backline. Anyone know of any little gems out there? I suppose I'm looking for something that's around 100w 12" or 15" and, as usual, I'm on a small budget: £150. Looking at Peavey TNT115 but looks a bit too big and bulky. I'd look at a single active PA speaker but I'd prefer a full range bass or keyboard combo because there's more EQ options. Any help gratefully received!

BassBunny Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Roland Cube, the K/B version. Our K/B player has been using one for years. Crazy loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'd go with the active wedge/P.A cab and maybe look to put a basic EQ unit inline depends how many inputs you have... Good keys don't need a great deal of EQ anyway, IMO, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransistorBassMan Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I'm currently using a Behringer Eurolive B210D as a keyboard combo. It's light, loud and costs less than £150.00. One of my bands is a 7-piece with up to three guitars, and I have no trouble being heard. The treble and bass knobs work well, and it's the ideal monitor on bigger stages.

funkgod Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 All of the peavey tnt range is always a top option for a smaller budget. Also keep your eye on ebay, now and again a Roland KC500 pops up to be had at a good price and these are the mutz nutz, the newer ones the kc550 also worth a note but by accounts not as good as the old 500, can also be used as a bass combo and a mixer for a home studio for say guitar, bass, and a drum machine with headphones. loads of info on the net for both, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
