I need to get an amp for my synth - I don't want to spend a huge amount of money and will probably go second hand. Is a bass amp the best way to go do you think? Thanking you for adding your two cents in advance 
best to go from your instrument and fx straight to the desk but if there's no desk then a bass amp is indeed the right choice imo
Yea I'm thinking for jamming/practise which will likely be someone's loungeroom and nowhere near a PA lol. Do you think a Trace Elliot Boxer 30 is too small?
depends what your jamming partners are using i guess. you could find yourself running out of juice once the dbs start creeping up.
provided it's not a loud session then 30W is fine but 50W+ will offer more scope. it's always nice to ramp it up some when the moment calls for it 
I wouldnt go for a bass-amp: best try to find a full-range amp or some kind of PA monitor for keys or voice

I was given one of this away when i purchased my Tama Techstar (guy said it was broken, in fact it was just unused for too long and started working again after a couple days with Power ON), it's pretty good for synths & anything else, 3 channels (one is High-Z for mic or Gtr) , FX loop & a very good Spring reverb..
Hey cool Oliver8! They have one of those at the shop I'm looking at for $275 AUD - good price? AUD is slightly higher than USD atm.
Thanks for your input - I want to get a small Mackie desk and that would mean eventually I could get a PA - apparently the new Mackie Thump PA's are good - we just got some at uni but I haven't heard them yet. But yea not enough cash atm - I applied for a $20 000 scholarship at uni to use for a new studio - amazing if I get it!
