Flea & Fleabass on BCS Championship!

[Jimmy Bones]

Far as I recall, they haven't gotten high marks from the people here who've gotten their hands on them.

Its a series of basses that fleas been designing for years in order to make basses that could be affordable for growing musicians or anyone who cant afford $1000 guitars. Call it self promoting and ugly, but I'll call it respectable.

Except they're produced extremely poorly and not worth shipping price.

Threads merged and edited.

Okay guys, as I don't feel like sending out a zillion rule reminders, I've just edited the posts and will post this here, quoted from the Basses rules:

from here on out there will be no more ugly bass threads tolerated in the bass forums, unless you are posting about your own instrument.

too many folks participate here with too diverse a set of instruments for these kinds of threads to end up doing anything but pissing people off.

interesting thing - the folks with experience, who gig and who are in general serious about bass usually don't waste their talkbass time posting about basses they don't own, talking about how they find someone else's instrument to be ugly . something to emulate, folks.

so if you want to talk about an ugly bass, make sure it's one of your own, or it will be deleted.

if you have a negative opinion about an instrument, be sure to tie it to something beyond the subjective appearance - "the body was uncomfortable for me to play" or "the neck was too round for me, felt like a baseball bat".

otherwise, if you find something ugly, say so if such an opinion is asked for, otherwise keep it to yourself. this isn't rocket science, guys. respect other folks' instruments.

So cool to watch that when I wasn't expecting it.
Great bass player, great singer.
But as a performance, it just didn't work!

I think the black and white color combo looks pretty cool. Flea = amazing

I think they look cool. I've never played one.

Yeah, I'd like to get one and fab a red tort PG for it, I think the PGs are glued on though.

I have seen a video on youtube, where a guy has put aan emg 335 in the Fleabass and actually nailed the Flea-tone.

 

[eastcoasteddie]

so did anyone put up the video of this now legendary championship?

I am not so sure it was appropriate for the gravity of the song's subject matter. :/

Gravity?
Ha, if I remember correctly, the tune of the Star Spangled banner actually came from an unpopular English drinking song of the day.
