The 'cheap' flea bass... the anti-fail slapper!

[Tommygunn]

Well there has been some flea bass bashing, so I'm going to describe how I felt about it.


It was very well built!

Specs:

-Soapbar-bucker thing
-matching headstock
-smiley face on headstock
-drawn picture of teeth with a gap in between the two front teeth
-high mass bridge
-rosewood on a flame maple neck


Well having a gap I thought the drawing was funny. I always play RHCP's cover of higher ground to test the slapping on a bass, it not only passed the sound test but the feel test also! It has an extreamly thin neck, and I normally like think pbass necks but I can honestly see myself using this bass and maybe a pbass for a 7 month tour. It played and sounded extreamly well pick style and finger style.


I love it! The short scale is the exact same but shorter LOL!

I can't justify spending $600 on it, I have basses on my major gas list that I could buy with that kinda money.


Over all a freakin awesome bass!

So no body likes these?

I'm not really into slapping or stuff like that, and I don't like designs on instruments.

What colors have you seen them in? i am just afraid the colors look different in real life i would buy one maybe for 300$.

I personally think you shouldve played a slap line other than higher ground or any rhcp.

thats just bias.

 

[Poor Tom]

They look like neat alternative style basses for beginners. Too bad they aren't priced that way.

I've seen and played the short scale model sans the amp. It sounded great but, then again it wasn't plugged in.

Look used. It is in a cool watermellon color, black, blue... can't member the others. But I do member thinking "dayum, they look just like the internet pics!" So whatever you see, that's the color

Haha It's sorry but it's the only slapping cover song I know!

I dig the weird colors they come in... never played one, and I'm not a RHCP fan, but they look pretty sick.

The colors are pretty sweet. Neck plays nice, flammed maple! Good sound, and a good pick tone too. I would maybe replace the pup with a bart or a bassline

I've now gotten the chance to see these in person. At best, it's an average quality $300 bass. Too bad they are trying to sell them for $600

 

[XtheDeadPawn]

Am I the only one who thinks the reason they cost so much is because they have Fleas name and weird drawings on them?

Could be... I like the smile with the gap with it!
