My last word on combo organs, I promise!
1999-10-17 by Dave Bradley
If you think THAT sounded like crap, you shoulda heard my FIRST combo organ. It was a Doric - Italian job with no tone tabs, BUT it DID have a separate volume knob for each octave - I'm not kidding! It used a top octave divider, and after awhile I'd have to whack it on the top during gigs because all the 'G' keys would stop working. HAHAHAHAHAHA I progressed from there to a Farfisa Combo Compact, then a Gibson, THEN the Professional, then a Hammond B-2, then a Korg CX-3, then (shudder) ROMplers, then a C-3, then a Roland VK-1000, then a B-3. Hmmmm, ain't nothin like the real thing baby.. To keep this at least slightly on topic, the Hammond sure sounds good with my MOTM when I pretend to be Emerson on 'Hoedown'. Moe
