Fender Flea Jazz Bass | Rosewood - Roadworn Shell Pink

Introducing the Flea Jazz Bass, a masterpiece inspired by the funk and jazz-infused basslines of Flea, the legendary bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With his innovative playing style, Flea revolutionized the role of bass in modern music, and now you can experience his iconic sound for yourself. This meticulously crafted instrument is a faithful recreation of Flea's prized Shell Pink '61 Jazz Bass, which he used to create chart-topping hits like "Stadium Arcadium" and "The Getaway." From the moment you lay your hands on this bass, you'll feel the unmistakable energy and creativity that Flea brought to the stage. Its offset alder body, finished in a Road Worn Faded Shell Pink nitrocellulose lacquer, exudes vintage charm while ensuring optimal resonance. The maple neck with a comfortable "C"-shaped profile and a 1.5" nut width delivers a superb playing experience, while the 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets provides smooth playability across the entire range. Equipped with dual Pure Vintage '64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, this bass faithfully captures the warm and punchy tones that defined Flea's sound. The Shell Pink finish, a retro color originally used by Fender in the 1960s, adds a touch of nostalgia to this exceptional instrument. The Road Worn lacquer finish not only enhances its vintage aesthetics but also allows the body wood to resonate naturally, just like Flea's original bass. As a tribute to Flea's artistic vision, the neck plate is engraved with a logo designed by the bass maestro himself. The period-correct neck shape ensures an authentic vintage feel, making it a perfect choice for players who prefer thumb-on-back or thumb-on-side techniques. Embrace the spirit of the past with the Pure Vintage pickups, delivering the iconic tone and power reminiscent of the legendary Fender basses from the '60s. And let's not forget the vintage-style bridge, featuring single-groove saddles that provide stability and sustain while adding a classic touch to the instrument's overall aesthetics. The Flea Jazz Bass is a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of Flea's musical genius. Whether you're a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a dedicated bassist seeking inspiration, or simply a lover of exceptional instruments, this bass will elevate your playing to new heights. Unleash your creativity, groove with unmatched style, and pay homage to the bass legend himself with the Flea Jazz Bass.
