HSS Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's in good condition and has lower octave bass manual. I already know that unmodified M3's can sometimes be had for free or often for a $100 - $200.

mate stubb Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Maybe. If you are def in the market for a chop, and if the chop is well done, not a hack job. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMEGZ Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A "chop" is done for roading and gigging. So do you want to use this live on a gig ?If yes then look at the cabinet, look at the electronics, it is still the tube pre? is there a Trek © conversion? Like Mate said if it is a amateur hack job, it will show, poor fitting, poor wiring, etc.. Can you take some pix and post? Can you take a hammond muso to go with you to look/play?

bourniplus Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If you intend on using it live and the chop is well done, I'd say why not. Try and get it for 300, it could be a lot of fun, and there's not much to lose, should you resell it. "Show me all the blueprints. I'm serious now, show me all the blueprints."

WesG Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm not a big fan of lower foldback on a spinet, but I play in a band with a bass player. 1' foldback is the one that I really want to add to my spinets. 380 is decent price with a rebuilt AO-29, a quality chop, and some kind Leslie kit.

HSS Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Many thanks for the advice... I will probably go and check it out in the next day or two. For the record, I've been using single manual clones for more than a decade (e.g. Hammond XK2, XK1, and now an SK1). I am considering this chopped M3 or something with two manuals (and a decent a B3-like sound) in the same low price range ($200 - $400) because: 1) I'm wanting to work on my two manual technique without spilling the big $$ on either an expensive B3/ C3/ A100 or a two manual clone (e.g. Hammond SK2, Nord C2, Mojo, Key B Duo, etc.). 2) If I get comfortable and good enough with it, and it sounds good enough with a vent or burn, I might do a little gigging with it, which is obviously much easier since it is chopped.

mate stubb Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It's a low cost way to get into a real tonewheel rig. Everybody should own the real deal at least once. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
