There is a B3 up for sale this morning in the Post in Owings Mills $5500. Oh if I had the money and space!!!!

An A100 is cheaper.

And has reverb! I'd go with an A100 (preferebly an A105). The only reason imo to get a B3 is if you want that classic look while on stage, or if you find one for a good price.

Hammond B3 Washington Post .If Captain Pugwash had had a cousin who played the Hammond organ, he'd look a lot like Joey DeFrancesco. The same goatee, tubby frame and cheerful authority are there, but he'd be sailing on a heavy- bottomed freighter rather than a swift battleship, because the Hammond is a beast of an instrument; capable of producing beautiful sounds, but a whistling, grunting bulky beast all the same, and one more suited to Cut Throat Jake than the amiable .Thanks.

You use it? And an A105 is a C3 with internal speakers = monstrous! :D

Yeah, I use it for certain things, but not much. I know everybody here seems to hate the Reverb, but I think it makes it sound as if you're playing in a huge church. As for the A105, yes its a monster!

I was referring to its size. That joker is about as heavy as the RT3.
I don't hate reverb. But I don't think most people know what it stands for or why it sounds the way it does. Like you said "as if you're playing in a huge church." Personally, if I'm in a small church, I kinda want it to sound like a small church.

Speaking of an A-105, I got a call from a friend today who is on hard times and is selling his A105, for DIRT CHEAP. He just doesn't have a leslie for it, I would buy it, but I have a B3 and I'm still hearing about how I bought it behind my wifes back :)

oh yes the A100s are heavy. now the the D100 is even heavier, I think they called it the Cadilac of hammonds.

Yea, it hard to hide a B3 and 122, but at the price I paid, I had to just bite the bullet on it and deal w/ her being mad :)
