jmesa Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's all Wal on BSSM except for Righteous and the Wicked and Funky Monks. You can see him playing the SR5 on the Funky Monks tune on the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 do you really blame flea for all this confusion, though? how many of you stick to using one bass for a whole album? and can you all remember exactly which basses you used? my band have only recorded about five songs and i can't remember what i used for which... i could probs tell you if i listened, but i cant remember from the top of my head.

E_MaN Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 lol, this is turning into a bit of a search and rescue the information session. Anything anybody else wants to know bout flea while we have our noses stuck in the history books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have said it before and I 'll say it again - who f***ing cares? Why are you guys so obsessed with the bass when the funk is in the fingers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used a Stingray 4 on 'AEROPLANE' (according to interview Bass player mag 96) and an Alembic Epic on rest of 'One Hot Minute'.Also a Stingray 4 & a Spector was used on 'Mothers Milk'.

E_MaN Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This is why top artist should all keep blogs, containing a short list of what instruments they have used on certain days for certain tracks. I can think of a few examples where a player has used two, sometimes even three different basses on a single track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobiebass Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 [quote name='nash' post='264837' date='Aug 18 2008, 06:59 PM']if flea gets a sig jazz it's obvs going to be the oly white shell plate 62 ri alike. he was given hiswhite jazz by someone famous i think. also the RHCP are way past it. the ego's in the band are way too big now. john f has ruined them and flea has gone off the rails. i hope they split soon.[/quote] Didnt flea get given a 62 Jazz that went for £/$50k by a music record company?
