Home Bass: Enter Flea's Domain and Hear His Signature Bass

Who could be better at breaking down the new Fender Flea Jazz Bass than the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist himself?

This killer instrument is a precise recreation of Flea’s rare ’61 Shell Pink Jazz Bass, focusing on every last well-loved detail. It features a beautiful road-worn finish, American Vintage ’64 pickups and a custom neck plate that is based on a drawing by the influential bassist.

“The ’61 Fender Jazz Bass is magic. It’s truly the greatest bass I’ve ever played,” says Flea. “Fender embodies everything I love about music and individuality. It reflects the soul of rock, punk, R&B and funk. It’s this bass that pushes me to give more each time I play.

"The Flea Jazz Bass is a true resurrection, and possesses that wave of energy a bass should give you when it’s in your hands.”

The Flea Jazz Bass is part of the esteemed Fender Signature Series. Watch Flea in his element in the clip above, and click here for more on the Flea Jazz Bass.
