Flea Bass.

now i know someone is going to say something stupid about how crappy these are or something, but the entire goal of this instrument is to market a good-for-the-money bass for beginners. so no flea hasnt lost it or become a corporate jerk, hes just playing the same game a squier and epiphone and it'll sell cuz its got flea's name on it.

flea is so awesome.

the blue one is cool. :D
 
I guess it would be asking to much to make a lefty
thanks flea .......ya d!ck :p

seriously though Im interested as to how theyll sound compared to the price theyre bein offered for. perhaps its all a ploy for everyone to buy fleas solo album just so they can hear how these basses will sound :D all jokes aside i think they look kind of cool but the colors are a little much.

Im pretty sure this is it. Not impressed. I do like the colours though. Doesnt look like much of a professional bass to me.
 
i wonder if he'll use one to record with?
i'm all for cheapo artist bass's that give you a good bang for the buck but the one thing that strikes me as an epic fail and the ultimate in lame is when an artist makes claims that his sig bass "sounds awesome plays like butter" etc etc but still records with his £1200 custom high end bass and plays live with a modded version of his sig bass thats had £1000's thrown at it to ake it sound decent

i hope flea gives us a good sig bass
 
It's not a signature bass. It's a company that bears his name. The advertising tells you exactly what the market is....students and beginners.

I don't like Flea but I admire his desire to get kids into music by giving them a quality instrument that appeals to them.
 
Man if the pickguard on that green one is pink then I'm in. But upon closer examination its actually looking alot more orange, I'm not sure how I feel about that...

Available in two (2) sizes, FLEABASS instruments appeal to students and professional players. *The Full Scale Series Bass features a 34” scale, while the ¾-size Junior Series Bass features a 30” scale more suited to players with smaller hands and statures. *FLEABASS instruments are brightly colored with four (4) vibrant, high gloss finishes: “Sunny Bass” (orange with yellow), “Water Bass” (blue with orange), “Punk Bass” (green with pink) and the “Wild One” (black
with white).
