Using a Fender Leslie with a Hammond H-182

[stainlessbrown]

I got the Hammond for my home studio for free. I was told it was a B-3 (big organ, pedals.... looked about like what I remembered B-3's looking like).... anyway turns out to be a H-100 series (the 182 has to do with cabinent style and wood finish).

I've been offered a Fender Leslie for free (and being a guitar player this sounds cool all by itself) to use with the Hammond (if it will work) I posted to a Hammond group (...before I knew it wasn't a B-3). Most of responses were basically not favorable with regards to the Fender Leslie, didn't think a Hammond player would be happy with the sound, it would sound like crap, I'd need to change the speaker, use a bass filter, etc, etc...

I did some research on the H-100 and they're apparently not thought very highly of either by the true Hammond officinado!

Anybody here have any experience or know of someone using a Fender Leslie with keyboards? Maybe just using it for guitar might be the best idea...

Thanks

If you can get it for free, then go ahead and try it out. I've never heard a Fender Leslie, so i couldn't vouch for it, but if it's free....

Fender dosen't make a leslie, unless I'm badly mistaken.
