Default looking for something cheap to sing through at practice

i play guitar and sing. i've been playing with a bass player for a couple of months now and we usually keep the volume low and i just sing without a mic. now that we're adding drums i need something to sing through. any suggestions on a super cheap pa, or maybe a keyboard amp to sing through? i don't want to spend too much and it doesn't have to be super loud. i only play through a 15 watt amp, and we play mostly jazz and funk, so the drummer isn't super loud either.

Tie a Radio Shack megaphone to a mic stand and tape the switch on.

A cheap guitar amp will do the trick.

yeah, after looking at prices on some of the cheaper PA systems, i think i'll just get a cheap amp for now and start saving a few hundred bucks for a decent used PA, if the amp doesn't work out...thanks guys

Roland CM-30 CUBE Monitor perhaps? It's $200, which isn't dirt cheap, but it might do the trick. Of course, for another $100 you could get a Tapco Thump TH-15A. But...that may be a bit more than what you're wanting.

I think I'm partial to garageband's idea. Nice.
