Mismatched top, would this bother you? Cort space 4
Hellzero replied to 41Hz's topic in General Discussion
Again, nobody has been reading carefully, and certainly not my post. Cort has never mentioned that it was a bookmatched top, never ever. You should all stop with this inadmissible argument. The other flaws are the only reason you'll get a full refund, so stop mentioning the top and you'll win the (legal) battle. -
Is it possible to have a full picture of the bass front and back?
-
As I wrote earlier Macca could do it as he said he could have bought Fender when they were close to bankruptcy... That said Peter Jackson could certainly do it too.

You can add Tom Petty and these guys: https://www.hofner.com/blog/hofner-artists-4 And those bands plus many more, mostly unknown: https://www.hofner.com/blog/beatles-60s-2

I've been looking at a few of these online and none is bookmatched per se, as a bookmatched top is a surface made from two (or more) slabs of wood that are mirrored to match their grain or vein patterns, giving the impression of an opened book. This technique is used in high-end furniture, cabinetry, and instruments to create a striking, symmetrical visual effect, which is absolutely not the case for these poplar burl tops. Furthermore there is no mention of bookmatching from Cort for the Space series, but Poplar Burl 6T (6T certainly meaning 6 mm Thickness). So you better buy the one you like visually online or go to a shop and select the one suiting your specifications... -

On the fun side, yes, of course.
-
Macca can solve this insolvency within a minute... Maybe he will.
-
By the way, nobody mentioned Steve Winwood so far as he is an excellent Hammond player too...
-
And loved it so much that I bought his two last live albums. Thanks @Leonard Smalls ! 😊
-
A strange cover by the late French weird pop singer Alain Bashung in 1982:

And 1 more, guys. 👍🏻
-
Just watching the full live session, so funky!
-
Great choice, that Roland FP-30X, really!
-
Wot? No Tommy Schneider in your list. 😱😉
-
Highly recommended album from Tab Benoit with Steve Bailey playing his sixer fretless in tune and Paul English on B3...
-
I just keep watching it, excellent!
-
Nobody mentioned it, but the Leslie cabinet is mandatory for a true Hammond B3 sound. 😉
-
I almost forgot the Belgian master of the B3, André Brasseur who was a star during the 70's, but made an unexpected comeback close to 10 years ago thanks to some youngsters loving his music. Saw him live for that tour and it was really funky: On Spotify, you'll only find a single with these youngsters and all his original 70's hits that you've certainly heard.
-
And don't forget the two jazz masters of the B3, Jimmy Smith and Rhoda Scott!
-
As you may notice I'm a big fan of the Hammond B3, so you can also listen to the late Lucky Peterson, fantastic guitarist and gifted B3 organist, and I saw him live so many times...
-
And don't forget the Medeski Martin Wood band, with some albums with John Scofield too. Chris Wood is an amazing bass player, saw them live and it was fantastic:
-
Tommy Schneider is certainly one of the best B3 connoisseur and a terrific player too. This album is a must have:
-
Brian Setzer recorded a full album with Christmas tunes revisited like this one:
-
By the way, this version is the one I was mentioning, more intimate than the Lang Lang version:
