Pretty cool. About $4000 for the organ. And it is digital. So what are the samples from? The copy seems to imply that the a digitally recreating the tone production, not just playing samples. I need to listen to more of their samples, because Bianchi seemed stuck in the 'roller rink' preset... |

I almost bought a B3 last month, which I've desperately wanted since I was 16, but the thought of maintaining it, and the space pushed me into indecision - and it's gone now. I'm a Hammond lover and have always maintained that NOTHING comes close to a real B3. But geesh does this sound good. When one of the top jazz organists in the world endorses it it's worth a listen. www.facebook.com/patbianchiofficial/videos/3247590315545805Cool! Thanks! Will check it out! |

Start selling.... I mean, I've got a jeep and a couple dirt bikes. That can easily suck up the excess cash generated by selling stuff. Sigh.... Bye bye Black Friday.... This made me sad. Have you considered a custom Iron Age Audio console? I've had close to a dozen consoles over the years. I love em, but I'm done with em at this point. I enjoy the hybrid approach. If I was tracking a bunch, that would be a different story. |

Skyloft and Mozambique/Laguna restaurants BOTH has vintage B3's and Leslie's. SO cool!  The keyboardists who gig at either, don't need to bring anything. Chris |

At this point I've only got 20 pieces of HW in a hybrid solution with a mini SSL desk but I'm completely satisfied with my setup too. Got some great recommendations from this site like the IAA amp, Chandler stuff, M88 etc. and I doth need no more. I still have some expensive spares (like mic's) that are just collecting dust, if anything else I'd probably sell those and buy some more Beyer mic's.. Also I have one slot missing in my 500 rack that needs filling, that's just purely OCD though  .. |

I’ve definitely finished my rig. Both studio, writing room and live. Good job too, I’m now paying (happily I should add) for my two sons to attend university. I can tell you that bill dwarfs studio purchases |

I need to listen to more of their samples, because Bianchi seemed stuck in the 'roller rink' preset... Jazz organists refer to that sound as “squabbling” — McGriff and others are masters at it. It’s actually a great drawbar setting to show what the Viscount can do. |

I was thinking about this thread.
And without be too self deprecating, I was looking at all my gear and think I’ve definitely reached the point where I am the weakest link in my studio.
My gear now far surpasses my talent and abilities.
If I want my songs and recordings to sound better then I need to put my time and energy into working on me!

That's why I retain some Gear. Worse than even me.  Chris |

Dr. Bill, I'm so with you on this. I've not bought any new gear in probably two years, and that was to replace something, not an addition. About three years ago, I got very honest about gear that I like but don't use enough to justify it. I sold off what felt like a small dump truck full of gear, and it felt great and very freeing. The last vestige of this is a Microtech Gefell M-930 that I truly love, but haven't used it on a session in over 5 years. It will likely be on the market soon. Having all the gear you need is a wonderful feeling. Knowing the difference between what you might like to have vs. what you actually need and will use is also a good thing. Congratulations to you. -09 |
