That is a really cool way of looking at it.  What instruments work with what
(vehicle) you have.

I knew 5-6 years ago that my new vehicle would have to fit my gear so I made
the test drive to my house.  Told the salesman if the B3 fits in, I'll buy
it.  That's why for 5-6 years I have mentioned how easy it is.  Now I'm in
the market for a new car and there's a lot to think about. The arguements of
clones and small portable Hammonds are resurfacing to me.  I'd love to get
back to the topic of vehicles in another post soon...  You really are bound
by what kind of vehicle you have - or how willing you are to get a suitable
vehicle.

If playing the B3000 is fun for you than keep it up!

I would be upset if I saw you do that.

Sounds pretty strange.

I'll move any of them that way.  Lots of people do it.  Granted gravel isn't
the best place to roll anything......

You guys are not doing something right.

> Yeah, although I am trashing the B3000,

I'll say.

Have fun,
