My first church job was at the Naval Air Station Chapel in Key West and it had a C3 and a 147. A C3 is B3 with a church style cabinet. This rig sounded great. When I was in my early 20's I had a B3 and a 147. I didn't haul it around. I played a 6 night per week gig for 6 years. I used this with a drum machine. I also put a bass pedal unit on there so the pedals sounded like a bass player instead of the organ sound. I built a huge following with this setup. From there I took a job as part of the management team of a large resort hotel in St. Thomas. The hotel shipped my organ down there and rented it from me for 2 years. After coming back to the states I sold the rig to the hotel. While I still have very fond memories of it, I wouldn't want to own one today. The organ sounds I find on the boards that I use are sufficient for my needs.
