nope, just sum hard fingering and a bit a bass and gain.

its the same way with Charlie, on Stadium Arcadium.

flea's finger style is very broad, it can be light like on Californication or hard like Righteous and the Wicked.

word.

Nope, not slapping. It would appear that he plays it naked, though.

haha, many years ago after BSSM first came out, I auditioned for a top 40 cover band and that was one of the songs I played with them. Afterward the band leader says to me "That sounded pretty good even tho you didn't slap it."
I thought I nailed the audition in general but I ended up not getting the job. I always suspected the reason was because I didn't slap that bass part.
