That's an "Oakland Chop" by the legendary Bob Schleicher, who owns EIS (http://tonewheel.com). I was fortunate enough to see this particular organ and another one when he was building for the band...the other one is tiger maple to match Carlos' guitar. Both are A-100 guts in Bob's custom cabinets. Very cool axes, complete with all of Bob's awesome design mods. I'd love to have one of these.

I'm surprised Chester was still using an EX5 in 2009, but this clip was probably recorded much earlier...I think it was '03 or '04 when I saw Bob working on these. Still, EX5 was four or five years old at the time. Great synth, I still have mine, but it needs a battery ... I'll get a round battery and get a round tuit sooner or later.

Thanks for sharing this. I love Chester's playing!

Best,
Fox
