Chas, I used the C-1 in the studio to go to final on a film score similar to the one you critiqued. I used my Motion Sound top box (rotors only) for Leslie effect, because i was gettig a line hum from the 145 in the studio (old capacitors, I think).

I played the first in what will be an every Sunday jam session at a restaurant where folks in the service industry congrigate on their days off. I am using the Motion Sound and a tube Bassman head with a twin 12 cabinet to try to get that real tube and doppler sound. It's pretty good, and I can leave the Bassman and Motion Sound at the club during the week. All my jazz friends are stopping by. Lots of "sit-ins".

And, I'm now booking duo and trio jobs from the Club where the B-3 is. Got 7 so far.

The three jobs with the C-1 have been GREAT!
Don't really like arrangers, but will use one for the rythem section and pianos when the budget is not sufficient for a drummer. That way, I'll feel better for "really playing".

This thing has really brought the enjoyment back into playing. Expect I will be using it on about 30% of my gigs.
