Very nice looking bass!

I have a Blade B-15 and absolutely love it, especially for it's authentic jazz tones and slim neck profile, which isn't always the case on 5 string Jazz basses..

So I'm guessing this will be the same but with even more tonal variation, which is no bad thing. :)

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.

These are great basses... I have a B2 (the 4 string version of this) and although it doesn't get much play time I'm amazed by the quality and playability every time I pick it up.

I think Blades are quite unknown because they're not available in the USA (at least they used to, don't know about now). I'd prefer this over a Fender USA Deluxe any day.
