organ bass

hi everybody,
does anybody have a good suggestion for a powerful organ bass sound ?
i split my 88 to play chords & melody with my right hand - therfore i like a b3 sound with some rotor.
when i play organ bass with my left hand the rotor makes it kind of less precise & another problem is that organ bass sounds not equal loud in every range.
who's got some experience with that ?
thanks in advance,
ralph

Sounds like you're missing the sound of the pedal kick of the 16'+8' drawbars on a real hammond....in jazz hammond you'd be looking to add a staccato thump with the feet typically to a walking bass line - so why not mix a very short duration short synth bass thud to the LH organ? Worth a try..... Players such as Jimmy Smith, jack McDuff etc. would either kick one note (typically b flat) or move with the left hand, to beef up the bass.
