Am I right in thinking that Yolanda Charles plays these? The make Blade, rather than the model.

Yolanda used to play an old Blade 4 string for many years. The weight of that particular bass gave her some discomfort during gigs, so she contacted Levinson about reducing the weight. She ended up with 2 new Blade basses, a four and five string in midnight blue finish, that Gary sent her to test. There are many pictures and videos of Yolanda playing her Blade basses. They really seem to fit her style.
