acidbass Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I'd say out of those three you mentioned, definitely yes! Flea is just an imitator (in more ways than one it seems ) Quote
Super_Mario_Bass Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 who else you think flea imitates? im not tryin to argue lol i want to know Quote

MacDaddy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 could be wrong, but didn't the guy with Screaming Lord Sutch wear one in the 60's? Quote

3V17C Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 just saw some unsigned (i guess) punky band on one of the 'open access' digital channels wearing one! c Quote
Super_Mario_Bass Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Lol, ok it is a bassist thing then. not just someones thing that everbody ripped off. well its ok to rip it off if its a fellow bass player and many have before maybe Quote

Mind you I'm a big fan of both I tried to get a skeleton suit for a fancy dress gig but its hard to find one in a size that fits someone older than 9.. Quote

It's a nod of the cap to those who went before! Quote
d-basser Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 i really really want a skeleton suit but i am to skinny as it is and if i wear skin tight attire folks get worried Quote
Bassmasta89 Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I am going to wear that suit one day!!!! It would be such a thrill to honour the greats of the bass who donned that costume before. Quote
