Interest FREE financing available at checkoutFleas 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.
