Hammond B3P Portable B3
« on: October 02, 2007, 10:02:37 AM »
Does anybody know how this organ sounds before I buy one for travel.

And if it doesn't sound good, what is a great portable organ to get?

They say it sounds exactly like a real B3. I dont think i've ever heard one in person, but Ralph used one on his album and it sounds just a little wierd. If i were you i'd get the XK system :

it would probaly be half as much as  a new B3 and if you have a small gig you can just take one manualinstad of a whole  organ . and it does look better than the b3 portable which  is probaly too ugly to be in a church or living room.

The Hammond B3P is nothing more than the Hammond New B3 in a different shell. I've been using the XK-3 for almost a year now and I still love it. I'm also playing the XK3 through a Leslie 122 which is being driven by a Speakeasy Vintage Tube Preamp. I think you can pre-order the new XK3c at some places. I'm not sure if you can through Tonewheel General Hospital, but you might want to ask because he is a Hammond dealer. The XK-3c is due to be shipped mid-November.

I'd go with a XK setup. If you're gonna run a leslie with it...I'd go with the XK 1, 2, and 3. If you wont have a leslie....the XK 1, and 2 actually have "better" leslie simulators than than the XK3 IMO. But like someone said earlier, going with a XK setup/system you'd save a bunch of money and get 95% of almighty B3 sound!

+1 Push button drawbar control?!?  That's a negative for me, too.  I like pulling and pushing my drawbars on command!  Part of getting your sound while you're playing is being able to literally feel how your drawbars are arranged.
