I've played them a lot with and without, including daily Bach for a few years. I've already said that Hammond himself didn't consider it to be essential or desirable, but still it is the part of the rock and gospel Hammond sounds that are most well known. If I'm asked for Hammond on a session, I don't think I'd get very far without a Leslie, even just one on stop.
