Rhoda Scott is responsible for me selling the last B3 I had in my inventory. She did a workshop at a Hammond tech's business in the Netherlands. Some guy heard her and said "I want one of those, what is it?" The tech explained it was a Hammond B#. Somehow the guy found me in NJ and bought mine and arranged for overseas shipping. A nice late 50's walnut with a refinished leslie When I explained Rhoda usually used a Trek II string bass attachment on the pedals he bought one of those too. Then I fine out the guy doesn't play a note!! Just wanted a toy to fool with. Too much disposable cash. He was going to have both pieces rebuilt and refinished--and they were really nice already.
Barbara Dennerlin used to travel with a custom bass pedal unit she would put under whatever stock B3 they gave her for a show. Once she came into NY and customs at the airport wouldn't allow it through because they couldn't figure out what it was!! And this was way before 9/11
