The bass most asscoiated with him is a Musicman Stingray, but he also used a Precision (all strung with flatwounds). Those were his studio basses.Live, I have also seen footage with him using a BC Rich bass with a double-P pickup configuration, as well as an Ibanez Musician.

in a BP analysis of "Le Freak" with Nile Rodgers they said his Musicman was strung with old roundwounds (which came stock on the bass when he bought it).

I remember reading an interview with him in the old 'Musician' magazine and he was really indifferent to gear and what he used.
So I can remember them asking him what strings he used - and he said "..well what strings do these basses come with (indicating MM Stingray)?"
Interviewer is perplexed and asks why - and he explained how he had never changed the strings since he got it!

It's amazing what a search can do
