It's here, it's down the stairs and in my music room. I will never move it
again! It acutally wasn't too bad. I had four guys, two on the bottom and
two up top. I was on top and was able to put one leg through the legs of the
organ and one a step above. While a winch would have been sweet, we got it
down, one step at a time, all backs in tact.
I played it for about an hour or so and I'm blown away. It's going to take a
bit to get used to drawbars (I know Mr. Jacques, that blows your mind) as
I'm used to the drawbuttons, but I can see why David is David about
drawbars, they're pretty damn cool. The tone of this organ is simply amazing
through my 145. The action is incredibly fast and it feels pretty amazing to
finally play one of these things. I'm already glad I added the Trek reverb
and the Hamptone EQ, both sound great when appropriate. I haven't run the
line out or fx loop, but I'm sure I'll get to it. I watched a youtube vid of
a guy playing his B3 through VB3 's leslie sim. It sounds pretty good and I
might buy VB3 for quick recording and late night shredding.
Anyway, I'm rambling. According to Rich at BB Organ, it's a 9/10 in terms of
physical condition and a 11/10 in terms of mechanical condition, tone, and
all that good stuff. 4 years of searching and it finally paid off. Thanks to
all for listening and the advice.
