There's some great bass covers of rhcp on youtube, have a look at the videos of davidsinrocks.[/quote] I watch one of his video's at least once a day. I think the guy is awesome.Can't believe he's only been playing for 4 years. Thanks mate.

Hi there i'm Andy from Sutton in Surrey (southern England). Fast approaching 40 years old and bought my first Bass in October this year. Originally wanted one as a kid after seeing Bootsy Collins on TV's Rock School in the 80's, but couldn't afford one so settled for a harmonica . In the earlly 1990's i was a massive Chili Peppers fan but lost interest when the dissapointing album One hot minute came out. Fast forward to this year and got back into the Chili's buying Californication,By The Way and Stadium Arcadium and thats all i've been listening to (apart from Jamiroquai who i'm also into). It was then i suddenly 'saw the light' and got the calling of the Bass after again loving the work of Mike Balzary (Flea). Bought an Ashton 'kit' from Rockbotton in Croydon and absolutely love it and struggle to put it down, much to the annoyance of my missus who bought me a Vox headphone amp and headphones for christmnas LOL. Not a particullarly intelligent sort of bloke and can't read music so am learning by tabs or usually the bass song lessons on YouTube. Hope to get lots of hep from you guy's and gals on here. Many thanks. Andy
