I can't do sit ups any more due to a couple hernia operations, however
I can still do a live stand up gig holding a 12 lb. bass guitar for
four hrs. with no breaks.

--------------------------------------

I couldn't play a guitar for four hours laying down, let alone standing.

However, *this* works pretty well.

1969 vintage (keyboards and electronics) , completely rebuilt, re-tubed and
modified slightly for an extra amount of "growl". The cabinet is actually
from a pre-B3 Hammond and dates back to the mid '30's.
Also included a refurbished Leslie 122.

Found it on Craigslist last week .... cheap! It was formally used as a
rental for bands doing tours in the Boston area.
Always loved the sound of an old school Hammond B3. The new ones are
digital and, although they sound good, they just don't have the sound of the
old mechanical tonewheel.
