When it comes to disco, the Jazz bass is hard to beat, and the EBMM ranks as a close second. The EBMM wasn\u2019t launched until 1976, so it only witnessed the latter half of the disco era but it was good enough for Bernard Edwards to shift from a P bass to a Music Man Stringray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, most bassists in the pure disco era preferred the simplicity of a P-Bass, which didn\u2019t need too much tone-shaping and could provide the basic thump for Disco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
