I've just been tinkering with my Hammond now that I finally have a space for it near my recording desk. It's an old M111, all valve, tonewheel, gave it a deep clean, oiled the tone wheel, cleaned the tube pins, and rigged it to go straight into my DAW without the speakers so I ca hook it up to a "leslie". $50, and a complete pain in the *** to move across a couple states and 4 apartments. But it sounds amazing. Never heard the Transistor Hammonds, but they certainly look cool, love the grill cloth.
Sweet score! I've never seen that model.found this bass after years of looking for it....funny we were talking Kramers recently....recorded a whole record with it years ago but was living abroad when its owner (and dearest friend) Ed R passed..... mutual friend just reached out with it......

A Rolling truck Stones thing?
How does the middle pickup sound? It's in the Stingray/Ric bridge pickup position or it looks like it's there?
It sounds incredible.
It’s an original Sidewinder.
I wouldn’t consider its position to be Stingray like.
More Precision like.
Awesome.found this bass after years of looking for it....funny we were talking Kramers recently....recorded a whole record with it years ago but was living abroad when its owner (and dearest friend) Ed R passed..... mutual friend just reached out with it......

Funny(sorta)story about "Mack the Knife". We do "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" on pretty much every gig(crowd loves it). I sing it, but I hafta look at the lyrics sheet. We (I) do "Mack" maybe once a month. I know all the lyrics to all the verses.
Agreed. While not single coils, I always thought of them like SCs on strats. Takes a little extra work to get them to sound good, but when they are right, they are righteous and sit in the mix in their own space.
Engineers. Always have a solution.
