Dave-
Have you considered looking into a 145? The footprint isn't all that
different between the two but tonally there is a difference between a leslie
and motion sound-it seems like theres a midrange bump in the ms products
where as a leslie is more open and less shrill on the top end-my humble
opinion anyways. I LOVE my leslie and whenever I play thru my KBRM I just
don't seem to get that same enjoyment or that little extra spirited
playing. What I've noticed is that I always was fighting the tone,which kept
me from "playing" whereas now my focus is purely on the playing. I've also
noticed since using the speakeasy preamp I have enough volume where I don't
need reinforcement thru additional p.a.-or monitors, nd I play with some
pretty loud cats.
For years I struggled with my search for "the sound" and truly,in my own
opinion, you need the leslie to get "the sound". For a few more bucks than a
low-pro you can get a 145 and you'll NEVER regret it. I find very portable
too-I slip out of the mini-van onto a dolly and badaboom badabing-your in. I
move it myself and it's no big deal.
Good luck-
Bill
