YouTube via Scootabilly. Guess the synth and the organ.

And a montage with the original song:

    Well it looks like some sort of Farfisa grandé for sure. I thought the Moog was a Rogue or Micro until i noticed it only had 2 key octaves. Are you sure it's a Moog?

    Man! Cindy looks hot with that black wig...

    Thanks hex, I updated the post. I thought it looked off. I haven't seen the original video since back then so I thought my memory might have been off, but looking at it again, it's clearly a montage of their stuff.

    Interesting ortho, I missed the two octaves. Not sure what that little synth is now. I updated the post to guess the synth instead of guess the MOOG.

    The bass on the recorded version of Rock Lobster is a Korg Synthe-Bass.

    The small synth is indeed a Korg synthe-bass (also used by Dave Ball of Soft Cell on their first two albums) and the organ is a Farfisa compact combo organ.

    Here's a couple of more vintage videos with B-52's:
