Favorite Flea basslines?

[Zoots]

I've never appreciated the bass guitar more with any other band! Flea is Bass God!

Which song or songs does he really shine on?

I think Aeroplane is definitely up there. The bass in that song has a rhythm of its own! It goes to places I've never even imagined a bass could go!

 

[Tilli]

Lol!!

Get Up and Jump - how funky is that song!!!

 

[Tilli]

Oooh and Higher Ground....

.....And the beginning of Me and My Friends....and also Johnny Kick A Hole in the Sky!!

There are too many to choose from!!

Warped

Aeroplane

Falling Into Grace

Even when he slows down 'Get Up and Jump' it still looks fairly complicated!
