Mega Rig for sale

It might be tough moving a Hammond around here but one of the guys might take the Leslie off your hands.
 
^ It's ok. I just figured I'd announce it here. If it doesn't sell locally, I'll auction it on ebay.

I'm selling my digital Hammond rig.

Thought you meant a guitar rig of some kind..

The Hammond is cool & you seem to know your way around it....

Piano's, on the other hand sound wimpy and kinda suck :p
 
Sorry, I didn't see all these comments.

Do what?!?!

I figured you'd be buried with the mega rig.
Yeah, I got tired of it because I couldn't get recordings to sound good. It was a combo of the synthetic sound and feel, but also my technical skills not being good enough to control it. You have to be mega focused on rhythm and time feel since there's no touch and an exact cutoff on the attack and release. My shakey hands just couldn't do it.

I'd think you'd always have a gig if you got great at Hammond...
I thought of that. I can still get plenty of gigs on piano either solo or in a group. And I'd still be able to cover bass if necessary or use different sounds. Plus there's a lot of work teaching piano.

I ain't quitting foo. I'm focusing on the instrument I'm best at - piano. I don't have the talent to be a friggin multi instrumentalist. Being solid at 1 instrument is enough for me. And I'm thankful that I've become proficient by early middle age. I've reached my goal in music.​

All the practice tailored toward Hammond proficiency ended up transferring over to piano really well. It was things I needed like rhythm and time feel, bass, bluesy vocab, and right hand chords.

Now I might keep it. It would be hard to part with it lol. It feels like I'm playing decently just jamming, but the recordings always end up sucking is all.

I don't understand why people keep subscribing to my channel lol. Playing it is fun, but the recordings are triggering me.

I would if it was a tonewheel organ which reads the tonewheels with pickups lol!

I kind of want to get a legit tonewheel rig. This thing sounds ok but still synthetic. Although, the advantages are you can adjust it instantly and you can transport easily.

Anyway, I guess the right thing to do is keep it. It's fun and it counteracts keys burnout with variety. And it helps me focus on rhythm, improves my technical skills, and provides cross training. Plus I'll get better as time goes by.

Just took down mega rig. It's gettin sold. The plan has 4 phases.

1. Take it down and organize it into groups for packaging. Done.
2. Package them. They're grouped into 4 packages. Keyboard, leslie, stand, and bench + pedals + cables + music rest.
3. Enter all the info into ebay and auction it.
4. Put labels on the boxes and drop them off at the UPS store a block away from my house. Will probably just stick them on a hand truck and walk them over from my apt.
