- Introducing the Fender Signature Flea Bass.
Modeled after Flea's rare '61 Shell Pink Jazz Bass, the Flea Bass features a beautiful road-worn finish, American Vintage '64 pickups and a custom neck plate that is based on a drawing from the influential bassist.
Of course, the perfect person to officially welcome this Jazz Bass into the world is Flea himself, as this video goes inside his home and we learn more about what inspired him as an artist.

Fender that would be so amazing if you guys make a signature model for John Frusciante
One word Gibson
No I want to see more from flea
I like to see more Mike Dirnt Videos
Fleas has dog.
Dog has Fleas?...
Flea has dogs.
Wow that was deep
Flea has bees
Haha
farside gallery?
Flea has fleas
I like how they don't censor fuck in fender commercials
HauntedBagel
You can't when it's Flea, you'd be disgracing the existence of the universe.
And shit
HauntedBagel za warudo
One of the greatest humans.
R u not human?
+benjamin beats what breeds are his dogs? They are so cute
Australian shepherd
one of the best Bass players in the world,FLEA we love you brother😎🎸🔊🙌
afadedimage That cracked me up xD
I've always loved and respected Flea. His skills are endless. After seeing that he keeps bees too, he is Infinite Genius.
Detaining an insect. Genius ;)
+dont be average
I get your sarcasm. But they aren't detained at all. They are free to come and go as they please, or to move away forever. We beekeepers only provide a home option in exchange for some honey.
My logic is that if the bee's wanted us to take their honey.. why do we have to where special suit to save us getting stung. Bee's cant rationalise our want for their honey can they..
+Frank De Mascio man, that's an awesome reply, congrats for thinking!
another delusional kid? lol don't make up shit, he basically sucks.
I've always felt the way Flea describes himself at the beginning of this video but hearing him say "before I always felt like I was always reaching trying to be something cool I'd never be then all of a sudden then I felt like I was cool just fucking being me" is really motivational to me. Whenever I feel insecure or alone or whatever I watch this video because that just speaks to my soul and makes me feel so much better.
I love you, Flea. Don't ever change.
Same, this man is just the best human being on planet earth, so inspirational
I feel exactly the same. That was my experience as a kid, and music completely changed my life for the better. Flea articulated that beautifully. He is the man.
Niiiice, now please introduce the fender signature frusciante stratocaster
yes.
yes pleaee
Yaas
That would be so sick. But Frusciante would never do that, he doesn't really play strats anymore and he doesn't really like signature guitars.
+Teun Music Productions he said that his 62 stratocaster was his favorite guitar, so why not ?
Music is the greatest form of art I've known.
fuck i need to be a muscian
For real bro
Wath is the name the music
Him singing Donna Lee in the beginning was awesome... :D
Learning iT right now, its hell but its cool as hell.
hahaha thought the exact same thing
Respect..
*****
Oh, how funny your sarcasm is... Not!
I waited till the end a bass version .... :(
Flea's love of music is infectious. You can tell music just flows through him and that he'd be doing exactly the same thing whether he was in such a massive band or not. Huge respect!
Bee Movie except Flea takes care of the bees.
colosalblack The Flea Movie.
@@oliverzanier8202 beat me to it
Flea was singing Donna Lee. :)
but not playing it...
if you can sing it you can pay it
Yes, after many hours of practice.
but what was he playing ?
Damn, man, I can play Donna Lee, why he wouldn't?
Flea is love.
Flea is life
Flea makes me want to end my life?
get the message off fleas fist
move around like a scientist
@@justaturtlepassingthrough3972 lay down, get kissed
Nothing but respect for FLEA has a great outlook on music/life a true artist.
Yes, Flea had a Modulus signature for many years with a sweet graphite neck and he recently repped his own brand of Fleabass, but I'm happy to see him get a Fender signature model and while not his own brain-child per say, it's his favorite bass and one you can see him rocking with a lot over the past 10-20 years. It's definitely a rare type of bass all-around, so people should be happy they have another cool option to buy in shell pink (one of Fender's greatest colors) with the stacked tone/volume knobs with chrome tops. SO cool!
Good point , but I still would prefer the modulus , just a way more awesome bass . I have a squier jazz that sounds identical to this
As soon as he gets in that bee suit, I think, Breaking Bad. But that's just me.
Cameron Cooper no you're not alone
Cameron Cooper and me
You're not alone, BITCH!!!
X4
Me too!
Flea is so cool, he can even play with the Bass Unplugged!
I love these types of videos. I don't care if they are selling me something...its so cool to see Flea's stopping grounds and hear him talk to his dog.
holy fuck they actually said fuck in a fucking commercial without it being fucking censored. fucking righteous.
Flea is just an amazing human being.
i keep on repeating this video just to hear his solo in the background... it somehow became a perfect harmony with his words and voice
this video is fake flea never wears a shirt
jack ransier true
Under the bridge music video.
Vere Jukes it’s a joke you moron
Natural Joe he knows you moron so stfu
@@verejukes6500 that is not flea its a double
Flea has dogs, but hopefully not the other way around.
Mark Arandjus Clever joke mate 😀
Jamie Bennet
Mark Arandjus haha only programmers get it ( even inexperienced programmers) 2 jokes in a row you're on fire
kay Viindix getting into android programming, still dont get, plz explain
It's a html joke, you start a tag with and end it with . So he ended himself ;)
What an inspirational guy. He'll go down in history as one of the greats.
0:06 Flea diddly-ing "Donna Lee" by Charlie Parker, memorably covered on a 60s Jazz Bass by Jaco Pastorious
It's the small things! Thanks for the info :)
I tought it was John Coltrane's "Giant Steps"
He's totally crazy. I love it!
I knew there was something "wrong" with the Jazz Bass he used in the Dark Necessities Video. It didn't have the sticker on it.
i never knew what was that sticker of
+Cristobal Veas Rivera Ed Boon (Minutemen) I think
true!
D Boon. Not Ed Boon.
+Justin Burnside I have no idea how I got that wrong... Must have been thinking of something else while writing
Honestly my favorite bassist of all time. Not even just because of skill(not that it isn’t there) but him as a person and his uniqueness is so cool
Now we need a Frusicante signature Stratocaster!
Doubtful. I think John has preferred Yamahas for a while
@@Uncannyguitar so? He doesnt need to play it
@@janfarkas8953 Fender is kind of controlling when it comes to their signature artists these days. They didn't want John Mayer to use other amps unless he put a cardboard cutout of fender amps on top of them at live performances. That's why he uses PRS now. I'm sure they've asked John is he wants a signature model, but I don't think he's really into that sort of thing ya know?
We don't deserve Flea, but we have him anyways :')
I love when Flea speaks of having the readiness to surrender to something greater than himself when playing.
Australia
Flea is like, one of the most awesome dudes ever to roam the planet!
If I buy the bass does it come with any fleabees?
Alan Angel no friend but it does come with ur own sox for recreating your favorite chili peppers concerts ;)
Man, he sings Donna Lee and that Jaco tone is spot on! I'd like to know where he sets his tone knob
a lot of his tone comes from Envelope filter.. its not a wah pedal but has similar voicing.. flea is fucking cooler than cool
Flea is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
one of my favorite musician of all time. not just a bass player.
This man deserves everything good in this life.
I actually love him he's the best
He is so emotional. That is a gift.
Flea is so pure ❤️
1:30 - 1:47 I love that piece, does anyone know the song or how it ends? I love him
I love that this bass is so reasonably priced
This man is a living legend, the best ever!
The fact that he talks about how awesome it is just to be yourself is the best message anybody could ever give another person.
Dude is that actually him playing in the background? It fucking sounds like Jaco. I mean it's definitely Flea, I just have never heard him play like that before. He really needs to have some sort of solo career or something. Maybe join some jazz fusion bands, that'd be fucking sick!
I agree ❤️❤️🙏🙏
watching the documentary on how John went through the heroine addiction, and now seeing them, especially flea, they went from being grungy, messed up, scary, and self destructive kids, to grown adults with good lives and a true love and joy for life, it's amazing
4 years and this is still the best signature instrument introduction video
Dude that’s like the coolest house I’ve ever seen. Flea is just awesome
What's the matter McFly? Chicken?
pathetic_toaster I loved that scene
And Mcfly was on reverse
N-nobody... calls me... chicken
Marty mcflea
Flea if your watching this please come back to Australia and back to the suburb where you grew up in.
I come back and watch this video at least twice a year for the past seven years. One day I’m gonna buy one of these
Вот уже 15 лет у меня такая гитара, правда в исполнении Де-Люкс, с активными датчиками. Фантастический бас! Никогда с ним не расстанусь!
Flea é uma lenda. Saudações do Brasil
Thank you Fender, for making this real. I've always adored Flea's Jazz Bass, and to have it be in production is really exciting. Can't wait to get mine!
Flea, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for being an authentic soul. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
the last line he plays are from another dimension I just turn the volume all the way up and this magik
i dont play bass but,flea is a genius
When he put the glasses i'm like "Heisenberg" xD
He just seems like a person who always enjoys what he does and doesn't give a damn about anything else, just rocking on
Flea is a beautiful human been. One of my favorite musicians of all time. He is a wild and unique, pure energy for freedom of musical mind. Great introduction for your beautiful signature fender bass. I dedicate this writing to perform my honors in life to you, for all the inspiration and good moments you give us with your music and contribution. Peace!
Flea é mt foda, admirável músico e como pessoa...
The best part of this video is that Flea is a beekeeper.
Love this guy!!! I definitely want to be as energetic and happy doing what I love just like flea at the age he is!!!
Flea is hands down the coolest musician that ever existed
1:18 woo!!!taste the moment!!
Love this guy.
I love Flea. I'm so happy that Flea is a person who exists.
one the best basses I have played/owned hands down
Damn, Flea's playing has improved a crapton ever since he finally studied music theory. Ofc, he always had talent, but wow. So much for those die-hard "who needs music theory?" folks. Not knowing wtf you are doing on your instrument will always limit you. Flea is proof, he has finally unlocked his final form :P.
Everyone is getting so old...I'm so scared.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
why? we all gonna die , so what?
brian frescas I've been on that same trip, so many heroes getting gray. Look in the mirror embrace everyday.
mauzzy as flea would say it So fucking what?
i wouldn't be surprised if flea lived until he was 250...
I love how you can totally hear Jaco Pastorius' bass playing filtered through his with his own sound and way of playing!
Damn flea’s living the life
And here we have the Flea in his natural habitat XD
It's so awesome to see Flea wearing a Bob Marley & The Wailers T-shirt of a massively underrated and under-appreciated album. One that I love but pretty much everyone else only knows for 'Redemption Song' and 'Could You Be Loved'.
Amazing ! Such a great personality !! You are an inspiration for all of us !!! Thanks Flea !!!!
A beauty ...daughter,video,Flea,thoughts,audio and sound...thanks you all...
by the way
The song he sings in the very beginning of the video is called "donna lee"
By Charlie Parker.
Those pants look comfortable
That tone is absolutely lovely
I liked flea before... then he started singing Donna Lee.... now I love him
OMG His house is very beautifull!!
0:06 donna lee xd
The last part when he is singing Donna Lee is the best
His humming gives me life
Flea singing Donna Lee lol
Imagine a band with..Neil Peart on drums, Eddie VH on guitar, and Flea as the bassist. They could put anyone to the mic, they'd be unstoppable.
I love you Flea The world can learn from you
!!
That tone is full of flavour.
"I'm in love with this instrument... that's why I tour with a custom Fender bass and not with my signature JazzBass"
He was talking about his original '62, I believe.
there is a video with his tech Flea has used it many times live
What song or solo was flea playing I must know thanks
Donna Lee by Charlie Parker
he is such a genuine human being
i was ten years old ... starting listening ... Music/Bob Marley/Hardcore/Punk.
The most important things in my live, my skateboard & Red hot chili peppers.
So no one’s gonna talk about Flea’s Bees?
aight.
make a Joe dart signature bass🙃
Joe dart its a musicman men!
0:40 this is exactly what i do...when im playing drums i focus too much on getting the beat right in the song and it just sounds horrible but when i just listen to the music and let it take control i just play so much better and when you listen to your favorite song and play your heart out its almost like your flying i guess i dont know...i just love flea and music..
never really knew flea or cared for his signature bass, but this video is a work of art the sounds and cinematography are amazing it moved me thanks
anyone got the bass tabs or knows what was he playing not singing ?
ive been looking for this for such a long time
Looks amazing and sounds amazing ! And i'm not a Flea fan at all
How the fuck can't you be a flea fan? Impossible
You don't have to be a fan of an artist to apreciate his signature Bass (or Guitar), i love the Pete Wentz P-Bass, but i don't like Fall Out Boy.
I am glad to say I am alive at the same time as Flea.
This may be my most favorite video on the internet
