With the exception of my XK System, yes.

 

1 BCV (spoken for, so technically no longer mine, although it's still in my living room), 1 CV, 1 C2, 1 B3, 1 A100, and an M3 in the garage. Actually, two M3s but one is for parts only and is in a "custom" case that is totally nasty.

 

But I only have four Leslies, so... ;)

I have my M3 and I am in search of the elusive leslie DEAL. It seems they are going for more than A100's these days. Maybe I'll hook up with an A100 and a 147 for a song somewhere.

LB, I do not own one yet. I'll wait for a local deal. Otherwise, I'm in no rush for a new piece of furniture. :cool:

Which one do you like best?

 

That is like asking a guy with a corral of women which one he prefers. All work well for different mmmm applications. :D

B3-er,

 

I found out from the (computer) guy I work with , my boss that is, who is collecting Hammonds and Leslies at a feverish pace (2 31H's, 2 145, 1 151 an A100 and and a M3) what your acquisition syndrome is called. . .your are probably aware of this already!

 

HAS

 

Hammond Acquisition Syndrome! I think he got that from over on Hamtech!

HAS is GAS on a BIGGER scale... or should I say a heavier scale. Pun intended.... Hamtech RULES

Which organ do I like best? Well, I know my '58 B3 better than the others because she was my road dog / recording rig up until last year. She sounds great, although I have not even turned her on in months. She's sitting out in the garage, all lonely. I need to put her in the basement studio soon.

 

She's definitely my favorite.

thanks B3-er. With clones being so good now do you think it's even worth owning a 400lb hammond with leslie speaker anymore?

 

Yes. A good tonewheel Hammond has a soul and is a trusty companion for life. A clone is just that - an imitation of the real thing, no matter how good. It will let you down in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, whatever.

 

I'll gig with a clone, but will never be without the real thing.

I honestly do not miss my B3 playing live. I enjoy the XK System a lot. Sure, it's not perfect, but it is capable of the same expresiveness as the real thing and is just as fun to play. Plus it is more versatile.

 

Is it worth owning a true tonewheel? Sure. And the Leslie is still irreplaceable, imo. Nothing can replicate moving air.
