My feelings exactly. And I'll be the first to rave about the synth
that eventually pulls it off - 'cause you they will one day. But for
now, in many cases I think it's worth hauling a B-3 just to have that
sound. When you're standing on stage playing beside it, it's magical.
There's really nothing else I've heard yet that comes close.
