Hammond did make an arranger type instrument...had the drawbars...single manual...it was made several years ago.

The accompaniment was limited...no On Bass, for example.

You could add another manual.

your more than welcome to call by and pick up my headphones, but sometimes both low and high frequencies can drop out a little as we get older... maybe its just that ;p

Seriously though, I listened back and imo the recording is fine. However, Bass is tricky because its like marmite, some people cant get enough and others just don't like it at all. Its often down to personal taste.


TWD is right, you chaps are thinking your ears are all perfect most of you over 60 and you don't know unless your have been for a hearing test recently, the more your play your KB near to load noise the more your ears will be damaged, so it is little use you trying to judge what is good HF and LF, just believe me my HF is shattered and only a good set of hearing aids (Phonax) will bring some of it back, (not all). BTW if your hearing is damaged, it is more easily damaged future if you continue to be exposed to load noises. I am sure you all know about this and don’t need me to tell you, but just in case. Incidentally women can hear much HF than men so don’t ask your Doris about the bass pedals. A good test is set the KB on Hammond sound set the transpose up high and see if some of the top notes disappear when you play them, then get your wife to see if she can hear them and then go the see the audiologist.

Tony, I had my hearing tested this past December, and me and neighbor's dog howl at the same time when we hears a siren....but, if'n I don't get to go and get TWD's headphones, I'm still gonna get some Marmite from him...can't get it here on Cape Breton Island...must be one of them there mainlander products...I can put a little in me ears when the sirens start bothering me again, and even feed some to the neighbour's dog. wink

When you're married you develop a special kind of hearing....selective hearing...Ha Ha!

Ian

PS...I have a buddy with hearing problems...he told me he bought a cheap hearing aid...I asked him, "What kind is it?"

He looked at his watch and said, "It's 3 o'clock." wink

Ian,

You are wasted here on SZ you should be on the stage telling jokes like Beakybird, nice one about the watch.

I went to a organ group a few weeks back and said to them I normally bring my wife so she can tell me how good the Audya sounds outside the house, she didn't go with me this time, it's that water bed I bought, ever since then we have been drifting apart. You started it Ian! I friend of mine said I am good, but I am on too long!

Cheers Ian, now get to bed!!!

I didn't see tony at the last Summer NAMM, but have had a chance to visit many times and catch a few shows. I have seen him do a superb job on pedals. I thing his style preference is the waling left hand his idol, Jimmy Smith, was famous for.

The guy "COOKS" and is a great ambassador of a very special kind of American music. Plus, he's a good guy. He was a good friend of my long-time buddy and B-3 giant, Winston Walls.

Believe me, he chooses to play left hand bass for style purposes only; not because he can't.

Jimmy Smith used bass pedals a lot...especially for accenting the left hand bassline.

Tony is an excellent player, and probably a very nice guy, but he's not quite in Jimmy Smith's league, in my opinion.

Smith was an original and an innovator...Tony has obviously been influenced by him, and has copped some of Smith's style, but he's not a pioneer like Jimmy.

Maybe someday.

Ian
