Flea - What bass?

Here's the list

Fender w/one pickup, like the Squier Bronco (anything before Uplift Mofo)
Ernie Ball Stingray(Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mother's Milk)
Spector + Stingray (BSSM) Still, the stingray live
Wal + Alembic + Stingray (OHM)
Modulus Flea Bass + Fender 62 or 66 Jazz (Californication)

there...whew

Well. He also use(d) a Fender Precision, not shure what model though...
 
if he has his own modulus bass; why do we see him all the time with a white fender??
or any other bass.

it is like if we saw billy sheehan with someo other bass, instead of the yamaha.

can any one explain

i'm not saying modulus is bas cause i really want a q5

but why doesnt he uses his own model.

From what I've heard he's switched from Modulus to Fender Jazz basses.
 
check him out on bass player tv. He mentioned he used the Wahl on the whole BSSM album. Also he was playing the Stingray through the whole interview. Even though everyone is saying he uses the modulus on everything since Californication, I am amazed at how many different sounds this guy can get. All of them are very cool!!!
