NYC Custom Verdine White 21 Fret Bass
Verdine White, leader and bassist for Earth, Wind & Fire, has been a Sadowsky artist for over twenty five years. Based on Verdine's first Sadowsky bass, the Verdine White Signature Bass has an undersized, chambered J-style body, PJ pickups, standard style construction (no pickguard or control plate) or vintage style construction (pickguard and control plate), and a J-bass width neck.
The Verdine White Signature Bass is a tribute to Verdine's late brother, Maurice White, and a portion of the proceeds from each bass are donated to the non-profit Verdine White Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, California. The Center’s purpose is to assist musically talented students living in underserved communities. The Center provides scholarships, music lessons, and instruments. Sadowsky Guitars donated two basses to the Performing Arts Center when the Verdine model was first announced.
We are very proud to support Verdine and his Performing Arts Center with this collaboration.
