THANKS SO MUCH, Donny! This is why I play! I would have given ANYTHING to be on that bandstand with those guys.

It's the essence of taking an OK tune and making it a great one...a collaborative effort, without a word being spoken. Notice the exchanged looks...the playing "off of" each other?

It's this kind of fresh, spontaneous and "off the cuff" interaction between players of equal abilities that defines what music is all about for me.

I started doing Europa in an extended version (about 5 minutes) with my "family" trio, with me playing piano, XB-2 and guitar. Of course, it's only appropriate for outdoor festivals and hard-line jazz events.

I listened to this 3 times just now.

I'm a happy camper!

Russ ....it was jmy pleasure to make your day ....
glad you enjoyed it!!

I love the Barbetta Sona 41 series. I have the 41C with 2- 10" speakers and the bass is huge. And at under 40 lbs it is a better deal than the heavy Rolands. I use it for restaurants and smaller single gigs. When I do larger rooms or play with the band , I use EV sb122 passive subs and ZX1 satellites. Power amp in my rack. Or you can get sb2a powered subs from EV and eliminate the power amps. Thunderous bass and lightweight. My subs are only 36 lbs and the powered ones are only 3 or 4 more. The satellites are 16 lbs ea.

Hi Folks

An update on my quest for a good keyboard amp for my G70.

Since I last talked on the forum on this subject I invested

in a bass amp for my split bass set up. I bought a Laney

Richter 4, bass amp (British assembled I believe). I have to say

this is great amp, 160 watts, 15 inch speaker, equaliser, very

compact not too heavy and a lovely solid bass sound. So good I

am using it with my G70 arranger and it sounds great on it's

own.

What am I doing here again you might ask?

Well I'm thinking of buying a Laney keyboard amp AH200 as

well and use my Richter for bass on big gigs It's much the

same 160W, 15' speaker but lots of other features.

My question: is anyone on this forum using this amp, AH200.

Would like to get you opinion on it.
