FLEA - ALL BASSES

[Bart Funk Bass]

Hi!

I am doing short video clips with all the Flea's basses starting from Music Man Cutlass I.

I'll post next "episodes" here.

Enjoy!

That's fun, I like it 🙂

I used to be a dedicated RHCP fan with a large collection during my teens and early 20s. I still have a lot of vinyl of the pre-bssm era and early live stuff on cd and vhs, out of nostalgia. 

Looking forward to the next one 🤓

Great work, Bart, I'm enjoying these and I'm not a huge RHCP fan by any means.

Looking forward to the video on the Wal!

Cool thread. 
Takes me back to when I saw them on mother’s milk tour in Glasgow QMU. He was playing the black rosewood stingray. Crazy gig.

This is solid gold! Amazing to see all that extra footage after all this time! 👊 Always thought Flea played the Wal sitting down a lot because it was heavy. Didn't realise he was wearing a cast on his foot!  

The Funky Monks film is so inspiring - I've owned a copy on every format since VHS! 😁

Thanks for all these vids Bart ✊😎🍻

I've always thought that his bass on Higher Ground sounds like a Spector..

😂 Awesome! Never heard that before.

The thumped open E there sounds EXACTLY like those on Higher Ground 👍

Flea, Chad and John... Dream Team! 💥

@2.05 - Hinting at the fabled Stingray weak G legend?

I still have that issue of Bass Player.

[Bart Funk Bass]

I haven't had that problem in my StingRay so far.
