Strings

Used for C'est Chic, particularly on "Le Freak", as stated by this February 3, 2020 Guitar World article.

The Neve console’s 31102 mic preamp/EQ channel strip generously reduces bass (to provide extra room for Bernard Edwards’ booty-shaking bass low-end thump), while a miked Deluxe Reverb recorded simultaneously on a second track mixed below the direct track preserves body.
