Ready Freddy is one of my heroes, and that song and album are big reason why. Such a perfect tone, playing, and that double stop slide up followed by slide down at 2:40 is one of my favorite moments in all of bassdom.

Flea looks so different these days.

I’m generally not a fan, at least of the overuse to the point of cliche aspect, but I’ll go will Dave Allen…

She's a terrific bassist. She's covered some super hard stuff. Shared because she deserves the coverage.

Oh, don’t worry, Dr. Cheese is always on the case when she does something new. Seeing her from 10 feet away at NAMM was mind blowing…

The "cool slap" part is just that 15 second intro, but yowza!
