This is a non stock Leslie 145 that has been gigged. The Jensen V21 has been replaced with an Atlas PD60A. The original Jensen was blown when I acquired it. The bass speaker is an Eminence Delta – there was no Jensen P15LL in it when acquired, but something else like a Celestion G15 which I replaced.

This Leslie is a gigging Leslie – one to use so you don’t have to take out your nice, home/studio one. And it’s loud because of the Atlas.

If you’re a jazz organist and you play a C3 or A100, then this probably isn’t the speaker for you as the Eminence Delta, whilst able to handle bass, doesn’t give the response the same way a stock Jensen P15LL would – pedal tones and left hand bass just don’t have the satisfying bottom. Pedals from spinets sound ok though. If you’re a rock/pop organist, then this is ideal as it means you can compete with guitarist much better. I’ve been using it with a vintage Lowrey.

It’s beaten up, but works ok. I use it set up as a model 45 – i.e. I turn off the slows by unplugging the white plugs. I haven’t replugged them in, but it was working on slow when I acquired it (about 12 years ago).

The 6-pin amphenol plug is a bit loose on the amp and needs attention. I’ve got a buy-it-now for 550. This may seem a bit high for a battered thing like this. But it’s a good bit of gear which is ideal for live work.

You’re welcome to try it before bidding – item is in London E2. Cash on collection please.
