HammondDave Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I know that there are thousands of examples, from Booker T, to Jimmy Smith, to Stevie Winwood... But one of my favorites (and most influential to this once very young artist) is Al Kooper. For a guy who did not even know how to turn on a Hammond when he sat in with Dylan on "Like a Rolling Stone", he learned pretty damn fast!

mate stubb Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My first leslie was a 45. I left it single speed for several years before putting slow motors in it. For that time, my big single speed influence was Jimmy Greenspoon. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doerfler Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I've left my 45 at single speed. I've unplugged the slow rotors in my 142. Gets the same results in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesG Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Any of you guys want to trade my nice-condition 51C for your 145, 147, 142, 122 or 251? Pick up in Kingston, Ontario It's a great sounding 51C. I'm actually thinking about doing a 2-speed top / single-speed bottom. I have lots of motors, just not sure about modifying that bottom shelf...but I love chorale.

I have lots of motors, just not sure about modifying that bottom shelf...but I love chorale. Wes I prefer chorale and use fast speed for short durations for effect. Personally I tire quickly of the low frequency warble with the low rotor on fast. The low rotor staying on slow with a two speed top would be nice. I wonder how you would do that with a newer 122?
