Oops, I diditagain. A Hammond M3 for $100 was more than I could resist. The 16' G wasn't working but it was just a stuck tonewheel and took about 2 minutes to fix. My friend Steve was also selling a monster Leslie 760 for $400 so I jumped on that too and MacGuyvered a line out from the M3. Still need to do a bit of work on the Leslie but holy crap what a humungous sound!
It is REALLY REALLY different from playing a Hammond emulation. Maybe not that you'd notice in a track with one of the good ones, but physically enormously different. The Leslie really sounds totally different in a room from a single speaker... it's like the whole room is alive.
