thanks for the manual link and sounds list! this Np-30 I would buy for $500, not $300, (and so would a ton of jazz players) if it only would do a split manual bass, (w/ a choice of acoustic and electric), and a list of 10 good quality sounds something like this: G Piano, Elec piano, Rhodes, Wurli, Gospel Organ, J.Smith B3, strings, choir, scat vocals, vibes. NOW.....for $700, if they called it the Jazz model and just added the split bass (how much would that cost them?) and changed the sound lineup..PLUS added a few more sounds and a drum box w/ great swing, latin, brazilian, funk etc they could get $700 easy...without any other frills except balance control..
