Hi,

The song is "Girl Talk", composed by Neal Heafty (french title is "Dansez sur moi"). J McGriff plays it on his album "Worms" or A Ceccarelli on the album "Dansez sur moi' or Dee Dee Bridgwater in the album "J'ai 2 amours".

On Youtube, ask for girl talk hefti (other way to write heafty !), you'll find some nice songs.

Hi,

I think you mean "weak", but you know, it's not a B3 Hammond, it's my Wurlitzer. That's why it's not the Hammond sound !!

[Sycsa]

A Hammond never sounds weak! Jon Lord(in is prime time), Brian Auger, Don Patterson, Eddy Louiss never even used Leslie speakers, and they had one of the GREATEST, STRONGEST Hammond sounds ever.

Some of the best Hammond based songs were recorded without Leslie: Green Onions, Back At The Chicken Shack, The Cat, Lazy.

What you said is among the biggest untruths I've ever heard.

For it not being a Hammond organ, the Leslie make the Wurlitzer sound hammond-like. I enjoyed your playing.

I really like the sound of an 'Active' Leslie and i've not seen one uncovered before, thanks. My Technics has an electronic one which is good, but having a real one one spinning next to you must add to the overall playing experience. Thanks.

So That's how they create that effect. I've been wondering for years how they did that, I thought it was vibrato on the keyboard. So they just put a mic in front of that and that's it just hit record and play the music.

@themilksnatcher Not only Hammond. It shows generally, how weak is... no, how muuuuch beter everything sounds on low speed spining.

I really enjoyed this...especially the three speeds...awesome!!!

@ThatsABiggon Yeah, all jazz guitarists are also split that way - clean, but 'warm' (tube) clean or 'precise' (solid state) clean? (The 'warm' group often calls the 'precise' party as 'dead'/'sterile' clean.)

[ThatsABiggon]

Nice vid.Sorry to all of you tube lovers, but the 760/770's are the best factory Leslies, IMO: clear, voluminous, & more flexible w/the bass, treble, & main volume independently controls (plus three rotor positions!). I will never understand the love of distortion/overdrive & the "tube warmth" over shimmering precision. I sold my 145 to get a 770 & have never looked back.

god, i love leslie speakers :)

[nnahler]

That is awesome! I have always been interested in how the Leslie looked when operational..Thx

[Jillz500]

nice!

Its been a while but as I recall the 122 was a tube amp vs the 760 being a solid state amp. They both offer awesome sound but for the purists and studios the 122 and 122a were always the choice. I had a 760 and it sounded awesome with my X5.
