Depends on a lot of things. A lot of keyboards I've seen only have a LINE-LEVEL output, which is a much bigger signal than a typical bass puts out. A friend of mine blew a fuse on my transistor guitar amp, trying to use a keyboard with it.

It's worth taking some time to look at the inputs and outputs and see what you have to work with.

Sound-wise, it might be OK, or awful.

I guess I'm wondering why the guy would WANT a bass amp for his keyboard. Does he have a strategy in mind?
