Re: What sound for 'Pump it up' Elvis Costello
Hi PD - that would be a Vox organ which you have in easy reach on the Electro 6.
"Recording with Elvis Costello over a period of more than three decades, Nieve has explored a variety of keyboard sounds and has used a wide range of keyboards from grand pianos to vintage synthesisers. The first keyboard he owned was a Vox Jaguar, which he purchased when he was just sixteen. On early Costello albums such as This Year’s Model and Armed Forces, Nieve was playing classic keyboards like the Polymoog, Jupiter 4, Vox Continental..."

Way before Nord existed, I used to crank that tune out on a Korg CX3.
Good luck with a great tune!

According to this article, it was a Farfisa organ, not a Vox.

That article is incorrect. Steve played a UK made Vox Continental II on This Year's Model.

Re: What sound for 'Pump it up' Elvis Costello
Upon some further research, I stand corrected. I found a definitive answer about which keyboard is in "Pump It Up" in a fascinating 2014 interview with Steve Nieve himself, in which it says Nieve not only played a Vox, but also that he's never played a Farfisa:
The first keyboard he owned was a Vox Jaguar, which he purchased when he was just sixteen. On early Costello albums such as This Year’s Model and Armed Forces, Nieve was playing classic keyboards like the Polymoog, Jupiter 4, Vox Continental and as some sites have incorrectly documented, a Farfisa organ.
“I didn’t use a Farfisa, that’s not true'” he states. “It was always a Vox and I have always liked playing that organ and continue to play it."
