I am somewhat new to bass but have played guitar for some time. The flea is on my want list as it’s essentially a 61 reissue with good pups and I like the relic look. I’m not a RHCP fan but think this is a cool bass. Love the color too. if they keep producing these, do you think they’ll start coming with Pau Ferro fingerboards? If so, I may buy one now because I’m after the vintage feel and aesthetic, not necessarily because I like Flea.
Hard to call. I know CITES has relaxed restrictions on one type of rosewood recently so probably not.
