What bass and equipment did Flea use on the RHCP album and especially in 'True men don't kill coyotes'? I tried the search option but no cigar. BTW, I just dig that song. Does anyone else?  |

Does anyone else? | He used a MusicMan Cutlass for the first two albums. As for amps, it might be GK or Trace Elliot. I'm also a big fan of the early chili pepper stuff. |

| | | | its a stingray as he was one of there sponsored artists i think? but im not sure when he got his 1960? jazz bass? i think that was after califorication, im sure he used that for most studio stuff after he got it?
i think it was pretty much his stingray in the studio tho for the early stuff that is.
