Flea Introduces the Fender Signature Flea Bass | Artist Signature Series | Fender

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.

I've always loved and respected Flea. His skills are endless. After seeing that he keeps bees too, he is Infinite Genius.

[BrigadierGeneralEpic]

I like how they don't censor fuck in fender commercials

Fleas has dog.
Dog has Fleas?...

Flea has dogs.

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.

Music is the greatest form of art I've known.

Niiiice, now please introduce the fender signature frusciante stratocaster

[niklaspilot]

Him singing Donna Lee in the beginning was awesome... :D

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!

[oddioblinker]

Nothing but respect for FLEA has a great outlook on music/life a true artist.

[colosalblack]

Bee Movie except Flea takes care of the bees.

[Khazoumi]

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

[xavierarmendariz]

Flea is so cool, he can even play with the Bass Unplugged!

[alkalijuly]

holy fuck they actually said fuck in a fucking commercial without it being fucking censored. fucking righteous.

[BretKenworthy]

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.

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!

[musicmanxii]

What an inspirational guy. He'll go down in history as one of the greats.

[CameronCooper]

As soon as he gets in that bee suit, I think, Breaking Bad. But that's just me.

[julieb]

I love when Flea speaks of having the readiness to surrender to something greater than himself when playing.
