I've always wanted a B3 myself...hooked up to a Leslie.

Awesome!!!!!!
BTDT though. 2 B3s, 2 a100s, and 4 Leslies at the moment.

Some of that stuff in the ad is beautiful/fantastic and worthless, like mid-'70s "American muscle cars."

Nothing like the sound of a B3. Nothing. played with a guy who toted one around in an old hearse for a while. Not me. I thought it was enough toting around an SVT.

People DO like to collect things, don't they?

Didn't realize you were a B3 player. Do you tour with your own? I used to tour with 4 Leslies. One day a roadie walked up to me, held up an SM57 and said, "this is a mic. You need one Leslie and two of these". Next time we were home, the truck left 500 lbs of organ amplification behind.

Here are some of mine today

Just refinished in storage. Actually a BV generator and manuals with B3 preamp and percussion and vibrato. My all-time favorite.
Bought this organ for $100. Have a little more in it now!

C3 in old BC case. Note line out to bass cab.

The studio one. will drive 122 or 147 or any combination. Has eq and brake. Great jazz box.

Yes. This is in reality an a100 in a b-2 case, trek reverb and frequency stabilizer kit, in this pic it's hooked up to a 145.

That looks like a cozy little setup. I've never met a b3/pedal steel player before. If you're ever in Tampa Bay area, I'd like to catch your show.

Nonetheless, he brought it... incredible musician.
