Hi all
Slammah here...
CS80 user since 1983......
Joined Rock Group Fist at that time and took over the keyboard from
prior keyboardists,(the band actually owned the first one as it was the
only instrument along with the b3 that could cover what was recorded on
the "Hot Spikes", "Fleet Street" and "In the Red albums")A&M.......I
added my Arp Axe and old Roland JX3P to the mix and recorded on my first
in 84..."Danger zone"
Due to a untimely Coca Cola spilling accident,My insurance springed for
the second CS80 which I still use to this day.......Some tracks on our
recent "Bolted Door" CD have the old girl featured.......I played her
raw AKA "Neil young style"...in other words I didnt tune her in a year
or so ......and she seemed to fit right in with the guitar that were
tuned several times during each track....Hmm (maybe they thought they
were out because I was) cest la vie.....
