What of us poor boys....?

[Guest Wallace]

....with Hammond SPINETS?

Are we to be considered as being some lowly subspecies?

I started on an M3. With a synth on top for bass. Nothing wrong with that!

Maybe this will make you feel better.

I used to play a pump organ, until my pumps fell off.

Creakitty-crankitty-mechanical-soundwise, how does a proper wooden pedal board compare to these noisy spinet bass pedals?

[Jim Alfredson]

There's really no comparison. The bigger pedal board is not only easier to play but also sounds better... the tone generation for the bass in the consoles is better.

If you want to learn bass pedals, you should get a full sized console.
