Sorry if it's been posted before, I remeber in the "instructional" vid, flea said he'd be working on upright... must be it took him this long to gig out on it... whenever that was.

I don't mean to sound anti-Chilis, but would this be a recording played while they sync to it... the only reason I question is because Kedis has some decent sounding vocals on this. He was taking lessons last I heard...

I have a fast broadband connection, yet YouTube videos always seems to break up for me.

But if you want to download the videos, there's a little javascript thing you can download or something. |

You know, you see bands playing stuff like this on Spanish-language TV all the time, but the bassist is usually playing some incredibly expensive sixer despite the fact that he only uses the E, A, and D strings.

He's a good musician, maybe not flashy like marcus, stanley or vic, but he's certainly one of the better rock bassists. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Newcastle/England | | | yeah i've seen this before, it was on johnathon ross, it does sound like there not really playing, it sounds to much like the cd for the chili peppers, Flea john and chad always do differant variations and change solos etc, and here they r doin everything like the cd, i remember seeing them a few times not even trying to pretend to play there instruments when they had to mime when hillel was in the band, they just ran around and Flea was pretending to play bass with a bowling pin lol, but they were younge and daft back then, they probs cant be bothered and just agreed to mime now....that is if they r miming

Are you using good speakers/headphones? Because computer speakers usually don't cut it. That said, he is a tad buried. Upon second listen, it DOES sound like an ultra compressed upright bass sound, really studio sounding.
