Ahh.. River, River, River...

We really did lose one of the greats there. He achieved so much and yet had really only just begun.

He was so into his guitar too. Took it everywhere and 3 years on from this he was really good with his own sound going on. According to Flea himself I think it was. 

His beliefs and politics were years ahead of the curve and strong for someone so young too. Veganism and animal rights etc..

I believe he would have made great art and done great things with his position to influence..

I'm the same age as him and still sore about it all as you can tell. 

What a waste.

Which tone do you guys prefer? The jazz, wal thing or the slightly “tighter” ray or modulus sound? To me he sort of goes back and forth between them on different albums.

It depends. I can't imagine Californication album on the StingRay. I really love the ultra aggressive sound of Modulus on it. However, Flea will always be that "StingRay guy" for me".

Mr Bart, these are so awesome!!

Its mental he used the big old tele bass, I cant imagine even pretending to play black eyed blonde on that thing😀

I always loved grand happy as an instrumental, ahead of their time.

Wal, probably followed by Modulus. The tone on Blood Sugar reminds me (unsurprisingly) of Leigh Gorman of Bow Wow Wow, allowing for the fact they play very differently, and I love Leigh’s tone.

Although I have a Modulus Flea, my favourite Flea tone is the Spector NS2 JJ from Uplift Mofo!

Wal thing by a mile, the BSSM tone is probably one of my favourite studio bass tones.  Just awesome.  His tone for me just sound "modern" on all records since, nothing else really stands out as such.

Did you know that P-Funk guitarist Blackbyrd McKnight was a part of RHCP for a brief time? :)
 

Nope, but I hear Flea slipping into playing 'Cosmic Slop' @ 2 minutes in the above clip. 🙂
