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.
