This is gonna be hard to believe but I am 98% sure for a while I had bought from an old family shop music store in southern NJ and owned one of Flea's black MusicMan basses according to the serial number on it, it was either his or Michael Anthony's of VH. No joke. It was custom made for a top endorsement from 1990-1991. They both fit the bill. EB was helpful to narrow it down best they can pre-computer logging, they think it was MA's from VH's, I personally think it was Flea's from his famous SNL performance when JF was kinda out of it and Keidis kicked him in the butt at the end of the Stone Cold Bush song. For real. It got slightly damaged in a flood and someone bought it off of ebay , and he said he absolutely loved it. Totally custom bass ! Good times ! :D

Do you still own it?

@thesanfordmethod1905 6 месяцев назад

Nope.., I sold it... It was a bad omen I gotta say. wait til I tell you the rest, I didn't know for like 20 years. I'll come back later on with more infor about it, it's worth reading.@@BARTFUNKBASS

@thesanfordmethod1905 5 месяцев назад

There's a great, but loonngg yet cool story wrapped around this bass which goes from EB MusicMan company the two Ball brothers who own it now, to a small mom and pop music store in Pittman, NJ called The Music Museum, to Flea himself and his music school in LA. I can guarantee with 98% certainty that it's most likely that black MM Stingray bass Flea played on the famous SNL episode back in 1991 , or maybe one of his back up basses from that night, or in that 2% it could be Michael Anthony's from VH, or even from the band Blur. No joke. EBMM is leaning it is MA of VH . But my gut say Flea. I can send you a pic of it before it left my hands and I can find the serial number too. But this Stingray was custom made and you can feel and hear it right from the start. First it had very hot pickups, this thing was Phat and Loud, the body was Alder , yes Alder, orangey wood, under that Black finish, not Ash, and the neck was the big custom part, the neck's width at the nut was the same width as a 5 string MM but in a 4 string config., the string spacing was so wide part it totally made for a great slapper and brought out a little more in everyone's playing if you had big mitts. Great stuff ! :D @@BARTFUNKBASS

The silver sparkle Stingray 1 step down tuned was used often live on If You Have To Ask as he lately used to do with the Modulus Flea Bass

@BARTFUNKBASS 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I think his tech meant that the E string is 1 step down, not the entire bass. He didn't specify it exactly.

@NealFosterHD 11 месяцев назад

I agree as this is the only song I know that the whole bass needs to be tuned down one whole step

Min. 8:24 The Honeyburst Fretless Lined Pau Ferro Fingerboard Clear Pickguard 3 band EQ Stingray 4 must be a year 1990 because of the truss rod adjust bullet that's set at the headstock instead at the end of the neck which became the standard from 1991 onward.

@BARTFUNKBASS 10 месяцев назад

Pau Ferro? I think it's rosewood? 😊 It can be 1990 because I've seen a few of them on Reverb. ✌️✌️✌️

Bass tuned down a whole step for If You Have to Ask 9:24

@BARTFUNKBASS Год назад

"If You Have To Ask" is in Drop-D which means only E string is tuned down a whole step. I've seen live footages from that era and he was using StingRay or Sterling in "If You Have To Ask". However, his bass tech may have meant the "E" string, not the entire bass.

@NealFosterHD 11 месяцев назад

@@BARTFUNKBASS pretty sure it's not drop-d but all strings down a whole step

@BARTFUNKBASS 11 месяцев назад

Not in "If You Have To Ask"@@NealFosterHD

@RedHotChiliRiffs 9 месяцев назад

@@BARTFUNKBASS The bass on If You Have To Ask is definitely not drop-D. All the strings are a full step down so it’s: D-G-C-F. Same as Naked In The Rain. A lot of people think it’s drop-D but that’s incorrect. I really enjoyed this video! I always think of the Music Man as the ultimate Flea bass!

@BARTFUNKBASS 9 месяцев назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs Thanks! Where did you get that information? Nobody actually knows how the bass was tuned. The only thing we know is we have to detune an E to a D to have a low range that let us play it correctly.

@Max___Max Год назад

Kudos, that's a very accurate analysis! It's just missing the black Stingray he used in 1993 for If You Have to Ask (the one with a big white sticker on the pickguard). Or did he use a Sterling for the drop-D tuning songs?

@BARTFUNKBASS Год назад

I took 90's black StingRay as one copy because no one knows how many he had at that time.

@sacamedeaca 4 месяца назад

Flea recorded "Uplift Mofo.." and "Mother´s Milk" With Spector basses. Also giged a couple of years with Spector basses. In "Knock me Down" and "Good Time Boys" video clips Flea appears playing Spector and there are some footage of Flea recording arround 1986 with a Spector bass too.

@vinisasso 8 месяцев назад

I'm not pretty sure about this, but in Alanis' album, or in "You Oughta Know" track, his bass doesn't sound a lot like a Music Man. It does sound like a Jazz Bass, or a heavily bridge sound configuration at least.

@BARTFUNKBASS 8 месяцев назад
