The old Kawai ES-100 (now replaced by the ES-120) has proven its ability to be roadworthy as it's been used and abused by countless pro and non pro player as stage piano. You should maybe both, you @bass_dinger and @SumOne have a look at the ES-120. And almost all modern keyboards have the new USB (Host) to MIDI connection instead of the now oldish typical MIDI 5 pin connection: it needs 3 connectors to do less than the USB MIDI protocol and the new MIDI 2.0 does even more.

What am I doing wrong with EMG pickup?
Hellzero replied to Brian18242's topic in Repairs and Technical
As you've noticed I'm a straight person, so if you don't want to definitely destroy your pickup by, for instance, reverting the polarity (even if I'm quite confident Rob installed a diode in all his preamps) as you absolutely don't know what you're doing (you can't follow a wiring diagram, remember), go to someone who know what they are doing and save a lot of time and money. Sometimes admitting ones own limit his the biggest step forward. You'll thank me later (after swallowing the pill, I know). -
Why don't you fire the trouble maker instead, so A, as he isn't as good as he thinks he is, which is way too frequent...

What Snarky bass is Michael playing?

Here is the best readable brand name I can get, but it doesn't ring a bell... -
Are those strings made out of rubber band?

Hellzero replied to Brian18242's topic in Repairs and Technical
Indeed, the pickup wire is going to the volume, but at the wrong place... I think you don't understand a wiring diagram as you didn't follow it at all. The position, place and direction of each connector is mandatory. -
The Roland HP-508 and the FP-30 share the same keybed, known as PHA-4, and the same sound generator (SuperNatural Piano), so basically it's the same keyboard.

Look carefully at the official EMG diagram, you'll see what you're doing wrong! The pickup is entering the volume pot below, not above and you mismatched the position of the connectors on the tone pot!?! So the inputs and outputs are totally wrong. Double check everything before going any further. -
As new BassLab L-Bow V from October 2000 in Maserati Yellow, with a brand new Richter/BassLab 3 bands (with semi-parametric mids and passive tone control) preamp, totally refurbished by Heiko HOEPFINGER, the owner of BassLab (more than 1500 EUR of invoices). I thought I would never sell this bass, but, as I don't play bass anymore, I could use the money for (expensive) piano things. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom: €2750 EUR (£2450 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) and, as it's been asked, the new price is around €5000, with a long waiting period. Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just send me a PM. In perfect working order and in as new condition, with some impossible to photograph super tiny "defaults". Here are the specifications : Body, neck and fingerboard: full carbon Positions: 24 medium frets (plus one) with front F clef inlay and side black square on point inlays Headstock: 3 + 2 Tuners: original ETS at the tailpiece with thrust bearing for smooth tuning Pickups: original 2 x Delano SBC 5 HE/S Controls: stacked volume/tone (tone always on), blend, stacked bass/treble (push-pull active/passive), stacked mids/frequency sweep Preamp: original Richter/BassLab with battery control LED Bridge: original ETS with new saddles Strings spacing at bridge: 18 mm Nut: zero fret (equivalent of 55 mm width) Strings spacing at zero fret : 9 mm Knobs: original MEC/BassLab Scale: 34 inches (863.6 mm) Hardware colour: (satin) chrome with Dunlop Straplok buttons on the bass Truss rod: none (useless) Finish: Maserati Yellow Country of origin: Germany Serial number: none (first generation) Year: October 2000 (first generation of the L-Bow) Weight: 3.445 kg! Action : from 1.3 mm under the G string to 1.5 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was more than perfect for me and it's already super low with a very straight neck). Will be delivered in a brand new semi-rigid Gator GL-Bass case (totally adapted to this bass) as advised by Heiko himself. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has received a new battery and is fitted with a brand new set of Ernie Ball Slinky 2836 round wound nickel strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130), which really serve this bass (it will be delivered with a slightly used set of D'Addario E to C nickel strings). What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is as new. Here is the link to the 21 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pbN_y8FJ75dOuT-PyjNZcNLWKjca8w6J?usp=sharing As I've stopped playing bass and focusing on piano only, I'm selling some pieces of my collection, like this one. Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

I totally understand your point of view concerning the size, but sometimes it's preferable to have the full 88 keys keyboards, especially if you play some organs or pianos parts, just saying.
-
If you want to have real good demos, watch Stu Harrison at Merriam Music as his demos are really honest, not like at Andertons where they are just yelling and jumping everywhere and touching all the buttons just because they are there.

Why don't you go the full Monty with an 88 keys keyboard as these are the real professional pianos? If you like the Nord Stage Pianos, they use the Fatar keybed, which is, to me, excellent, and you can get the Studiologic (same company as Fatar) Numa X Piano GT (wooden keys) as it ticks all your boxes, except the IEC socket, or its sibling with plastic keys, the Numa X Piano 88 or 73. I own the controller version of the Numa X Piano GT, called the SL 88 GT Mk2 and it's a delight to play. That said, look at Kawai with their MP7 SE and MP11 SE (both with IEC sockets), and their portable digital piano (so with integrated amplification and speakers), the ES 920 (again all with 88 keys, but no IEC socket), But don't forget the Roland 88 keys RD-88 EX (no IEC socket) or RD-2000 EX (IEC socket) and the FP-90X (no IEC socket), which is the equivalent of the Kawai ES 920... And of course, the Casio high end digital portable pianos (no IEC sockets) models like the PX-S 5000, PX-S 6000 and the superb looking PX-S 7000 (they all share the same keybed). They are all in your price tag or bit higher.

Or something like this to put inside a pedalboard? https://www.tehonline.co.uk/products/dc-9-36v-to-5v-3a-dual-usb-power-supply-charger-step-down-converter

I guess you're looking for a simple cable like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/XMSJSIY-5521-Step-Down-Converter-Extension/dp/B0DCNG2FWH

IIRC, the volume pot is a 25 kOhms linear type, so not fantastic in passive mode. My guess is that the pot is simply dead...
