Hi, everyone!
I'm a bass player that's looking to learn keys as well. I think it will add to my versatility as a musician and help me with me music and chord theory.
I'm playing "rock" in a band situation and would like something that will cover things from the classic rock of the 60s and 70s to current music. My band are Gen Xers and we have been focusing on 90s music as of late.
I've been researching keyboards around $500 or less and have narrowed it down to the Casio Privia 160 and the CDP 350.
What I'm looking for is something:
1. with a good "close to piano" feel
2. lightweight and
3. that has the "basic" sounds: ie Piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3/organ, strings and maybe something "synthy." I don't need a lot of sounds, just something that will cover all of the rock n roll basics.
Which would suit my needs better, the Casio Privia 160 or the CDP 350?
I'm open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance and sorry about the noob questions. I can figure out bass, drum, guitar and PA gear pretty well, but there are a lot of moving parts to keys!
