Roland KC60 for bass?

[sdgrfan]

Hey, folks, I've got the opportunity to pick up a Roland KC60 (40W keyboard amp) for a steal and wonder how well it would work for a practice bass amp? Of course, 40W isn't good for much more than practice. But keyboard amps are designed to work over the frequencies of an entire piano keyboard so I'm not too sure how well it would work dedicated to just a 4-string bass.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Keyboard amps are quite nice for practice and even little PA.

I used one for a while in a teaching studio - sounds fine, gets it done, and you can plug in more than one instrument easily because it has 3 channels.

It should be fine for home practice. I had to use the version with a 12-inch woofer once in a big band class at the local community college and found it underpowered, inefficient and muddy/unclear in a classroom rehearsal setting. And I once played through the 12-inch version in a different setting where I shared it with a keyboard/vocalist for a small dinner party/background music gig with the same result. So I can't imagine the 10-inch version being useful for anything other than solo practice, or teaching as mentioned above.
