It seems that flea is rockin out with a new modulus bass. I think it looks pretty sweet so i just posted this thread to see what you think of it? it has a flat black body and has pearl inlay that spells out FLEA on the 7th 6th 5th and 4th frets...

I knew he was never going to seriously endorse those cheap Flea basses. Modulus make fantastic instruments so I'm glad he's back with them. The only issue is that NO ONE except Flea could ever own that bass. Not with his name branded on it like that. I prefer the old colours too but it still looks cool.

yeah, Fleas basses just keep on getting more and more personalized every time. I think that this bass was actually a birthday gift, but I could be wrong.

Maybe, but he was using this bass a couple weeks before his birthday.

Fun fact: The Flea on the fretboard is in Lakers font.

Flea never played those Fleabasses live I think, and know that at least all this tour he's been with his Modulii. He kind of abandoned Fleabass long ago anyway.

This is his tech doing a rundown of his rig in June of this year. He pulls out a FleaBass and shows it and says that Flea plays it on 2 songs on the current tour.
