Ian ...funny you should say that as yes I carried around a customized B3 & cut in half 147 Leslie,...plus other Synths & Rhodes EP with my bands many years & played hundreds of shows in the 60's 70's..as an everyday thing for small jobs it's not feasible...but with a touring band or house jobs it's a must for the player and the audience which deserve the best which is HAMMOND! Even though the clones are pretty good in my mind I always am thinking of what a REAL B3 sounds like.....enjoy.
