Bernard Edwards is off the damn list!

I finally knocked Bernard Edwards' profile off the Artists Needing Gear list.

Mr. Edwards now has 5 whole items to his name here on Equipboard... and only one of them is dead-wrong. :D

...aaaand all 5 items are basses: no amps, no speakers, no compressors, no picks, no straps... just bass... pure, direct-recorded bass.

Clearly, I deserve a medal... but I don't think I'll get one.

I'll settle for a hi-five.

... no?...

...anyone...

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

Congrats! Hi-five!

GEAR:
  • sE Electronics V7
  • Fender Vintage Series '57 Stratocaster
  • Blank slot

Thanks for not leaving me hangin', eyesee. Appreciate ya. :)

UPDATE: I've found a fifth Bernie Edwards bass I can't identify, anyone have any leads?

It's a Jazz Bass clone of some kind. Headstock doesn't look like any of the trademarked Fender shapes.

There’s a glimpse of the logo at 8:03. Begins with an S. Might be Sterling by Ernie Ball based on the headstock shape, but I can’t find any Jazz Bass copies from them online.

Damn! Great catch! I'm going with Sadowsky. Head stock and tuner style look like a match. Now to figure out which of the many many Sadowsky J-bass clones it actually is...

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

Yeah I would also have to say Sadowsky.

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

I'm thinking Sadowsky NYC. This video is from 1992, NYC was on the market then... there were a lot of configs available, but that quilted flame finish w/ no pick guard was one of them.

That's what I ended up concluding.
