Flea's funk- and jazz-influenced basslines helped propel the Red
Hot Chili Peppers to the top of the rock and alternative charts
while redefining the role of bass in the modern era. Flea's
unique playing style brought a welcome breath of fresh air to the
musical landscape of the past four decades, inspiring countless
bassists to add a funky touch to their sound while exploring new
techniques and harmonic possibilities. To celebrate his enduring
influence, we've recreated his prized Shell Pink '61 Jazz Bass
that he received from a fan and used to record the Peppers'
Stadium Arcadium and The Getaway, as well as with the supergroup,
Atoms For Peace.
