kp65 - bargain or bad buy?

2003-03-17 by peterpan

cheers 4 the advice guys, think i'm gonna go for the yamaha kp65 -
seems to be gettin good reviews and looks a bargain at 50 quid.
another couple of questions before i buy, some of u guys should
already have the pedal (coming as standard with the dtxpress II). 

1) what do u think of the pedal?
2) how stable is it (does it move a bit like the kp60)
3) whoever uses uses double base, how good is the kp65 4 this
4) any reccomended double bass pedals to use with the kp65? am lookin
into gettin a new one soonish

thanks again for your help and advice, its much appresciated
