It seems that if a member were to sign on to talkbass, after just taking up bass, and had very few influences, his/her image of the ultimate bassplayer would be something between Flea and Fieldy. Doesn't it ever get old? I mean talking about Flea? Whenever I go to the DB side of the board you don't see 400 threads about Christian McBride. When will this hero worship end? It's one thing to appreciate someone's music and style, but this incessant ranting gets tired.

I'm more towards the flea end of the spectrum. I like to hear notes really.. Seriously though, I do see why u might get a bit bored of people going on about flea/fieldy etc but it's one of those things-people will worship their heroes...

I think Jazzbo's right. I appreciate Flea very much, and I will also say that he has "shaped" my bass playing, but just because you admire him doesn't mean you have to try and emulate his style. Do what Flea did. He MIXED his influences, he didn't focus on just one player, he spread it around.

Ok guys, Flea is a nice player, but. Please don't start a new topic about him every time a new member does. There were many times it was good, but it's getting wronger and weaker every time. Just opinion.

Thank You!! I was just about to say something similar to that. He's been talked about so much in here, just do a search and Im sure you'll find all the information you need on Flea.
