Flea's soloed bass tracks

Flizzy21 · #1 05-29-2009, 07:28 PM

I've been seeing alot of youtube things showing only the bass tracks for bands like rush or metallica, I think there coming from rockband or something?

I was wondering If anyone can show me some of Flea's soloed tracks, preferably something with his jazz bass, but anything will do.

Thanks in advance

For the fact that you can get loads of master bass tracks, i love the guitar hero/Rockband games.

Wow!!! Great stuff. Nice to hear is Wal solo'd. He plays with such aggression on that stuff.

Listen to that low action and buzzing frets. Very cool to hear P.O.E. and Knock Me Down isolated. Both are unusual bass lines.

Great post.

Here's Flea's line from YOU OUGHTA KNOW (Alanis Morisette) extracted from Rock Band 2.
Very cool to hear it like this!

In an interview I read ages ago he mentioned "You Oughta Know" was a quick and dirty one-take job because he was allowed very little studio time to record it -- he simply showed up, did a single take, and left. And frankly, it shows as it sounds pretty rough in places and the intonation is questionable here and there (the line was definitely recorded with a fretless). Plus, the track sounds as if it's been compressed to hell and back.

It's pretty amazing that the line still sounds pretty damn good in the mix and that's what counts, I guess.
