"Punk Bass" Custom FB4 (serial no. 000307)
ca. 1998
Modulus
Flea's most recognizable bass guitar from his career with the Red Hot Chili Peppers is this custom instrument made by Modulus, a maker known for its basses that combine traditional woods with materials more common in the field of aerospace engineering. Flea covered the red, white, and blue bass in stickers featuring his favorite punk bands, nicknamed it the "Punk bass," and used it extensively for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' By the Way album and tour (2002–3). Modulus produced a Flea signature model bass based on this design. |
