Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Borrowed the wife's disco cd to play in the car this morning. Just discovered a Chic song called 'I Want You Love'. I've never heard it before but OMFG what a bass line from Mr Edwards again.....it's been stuck in my head all morining and what a tone. I think he was famous for not swapping the strings on his Stingray ever. It's not difficult to see why Stu Zender said he was a huge influence on his playing. Does anyone have any other tracks worth checking out by Bernard Edwards ? (not the obvious Chic / Sister Sledge / Diana Ross I mean).
