I dunno if there is any want or need for this, but I noticed no separate forum for the ivory ticklers. Maybe a Ron/Keith/Brent (and I guess that scary dude from the Tubes) forum?
Reason? I scored a Hammond L-143 this past weekend for the price of free. Swapped in one tube (AX7) and it played! Its a drawbar and tone wheel like a B3, but shorter keyboards and no Leslie or outputs. Some other stuff is lacking (waterfall keys and fold back on high notes) but it can be modded to near B3 specs.
Anyone out there share interest in recreating the Brent sound, which IMHO was the best keyboardist not only in the dead but in rock period.
