Flea took lessons for trumpet and his main instrument was trumpet then.
at 17, he is offered a replacement for playing bass in Jack Irons and Hıllel Slovak's band ( A.Kiedis was opening their shows by rapping about the band ) which later became the peppers.
Slovak has helped him at the beginning, then he moved on himself.
Despite telling "it is useless to talk about any theory since we both know nothing about it" to River Phoenix on his bass lesson dvd, he learned some basics from John later and he knows theory now.
Except that he would have known a ton of music theory, just not how to apply it to bass. He was accepted to juliard for trumpet, but then the peppers got signed.
