there's free or $100 M3s all over the place.(there's a whole wormhole to dive into on mods to make 'em more like a B3). If I had the space I'd have one here...But... my back has no desire to move one ever, let alone to a gig and back. -
Tough situation for the Packers losing QB Jordan Love for a few weeks. QB Malik Willis didn't show anything with the Titans. I doubt he's totally familiar with the Packers playbook. I'd imagine the Packers either have to bring QB Sean Clifford up from practice squad or get on phone looking for a more seasoned backup QB.😎 -

Agreed, “he” is no hero, a “fraudster” defrauding “fraudsters”… yup Each count carries how any years? Back in the day he might have been hired or rewarded for finding bugs in the system. But yeah he is going to jail and corporations will continue to profit from badly implemented services with no real accountability or responsibility to perform due diligence when they can just sue the pants off anyone who finds a loophole. Why are corporations rewarded and protected by creating fake companies but citizens are jailed? PEACE _ _ _ -
A week ago I saw an old video of Deacon Jones playing an M3 with Freddie King and it sounded pretty good. Then yesterday I saw a video of The Sacred Souls cutting a track at the Daptone Studio in Riverside CA. I wondered if anyone had experience or given much thought to gigging with an M3? Allegedly they're out there for gratis or $100. Obviously it wouldn't cut it a trio or jazz gig environment but maybe in a classic rock or blues band. I've got RoK's and a 145. I wonder how much it'd weigh if I removed the speaker and maybe the amp? It's got to be a good deal lighter than lugging an A100 or a B3. Offered FWIW here's a little back story. Circa 1961, prior to the combo organ era, I was playing in a band with my friends. We had plenty of guitars and drummers and, since I had piano lessons as a young lad, I was designated to be the keyboardist. My folks went to the local piano store where they had bought my spinet and asked their trusted salesman for advice regarding an organ. I knew about Hammonds and that was my first inquiry. The trusted salesman said, "Yes they are good, but come look at the one we have on the floor." There was a puddle of oil underneath it. Then he steered us to a brand new Baldwin Orga-sonic and a set of RoK's. It was about $1000 in 1961 money. We financed it through GMAC and each month I tore off the little coupon and sent it in with a check. I earned every nickel of that $1000. Obviously the spinet organ was ill suited to its job. I did remove the speaker and had a woodworker friend of my dad build me an enclosure for it so I could aim it at the audience instead of my knees but it had a hard time competing with guitar amps. After I was T-boned at an intersection on the way to a gig at Ole Miss, I took the insurance money and bought a Combo Compact and a blonde Tremolux and never looked back. Experience and hindsight are usually 20/20 and I always resented the shifty salesman steering me away from an M3.

Yes! And also big, good knobs on a large panel. Well, in this case I'm almost sure there were problems with the video camera, because I noticed the issue while editing, much before uploading the video on YT. While I was shooting the video, I had set up the lights and the camera settings exactly like in previous videos, but the outcome was so bad that for the first time ever, I had to attempt corrections in the editing stage. It was only partially useful, and it added some artifacts to the image (you can notice that on my hands, for example). Btw, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. -

I always reduce video to 1024x720 before uploading to YT. It will still get compressed but not horribly grainy. -
