 Fleas 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. Fleas 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, weve 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.A pair of vintage-style, American-made Pure Vintage 64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups provides classic, original- era Fender tone with clear articulation, clear low end definition, up-front midrange punch and singing high end. The vintage-accurate stacked concentric controls shape the pickups volume and tone, as well as allowing the pickups to be blended in any ratio. The Flea Jazz Bass plays fast and easy, thanks to its period-accurate 20-fret C-shaped maple neck with a smooth Road Worn lacquer finish on the back, plus a 7.25-radius rosewood fingerboard with a 1.5 wide nut. The vintage- style bridge sports four threaded steel barrel saddles, adding a touch of crispness to enhance the attack for tone that can power through a busy mix.Shell Pink is the rarest of Fenders classic Custom Color finishes, and Fleas 61 Jazz Bass is quite possibly the only one in existence. Weve carefully recreated his personal instruments exact faded shade as it exists today, and then applied an eye-catching Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish that perfectly replicates Fleas playing wear. A special neck plate engraved with Fleas own artwork commemorates the inspiration behind this instrument. Other aesthetic touches include nickel/chrome hardware, 3-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and aged white dot position inlays. Melding rhythm and melody with fierce personal style, Fleas left his mark on modern music, and the Flea Jazz Bass is the perfect tool to make your own.
