I've always wanted to own a Flea signature bass
This is currently the best feeling bass I own (I have a Marcus Miller Signature from Japan and two Squiers). The knob setup is the 2nd reason I wanted this bass, it makes the most sense to me. At first I was a little weary of 'road worn' style guitars, but it turns out, now that it is a little beat up I tend to worry less about accidentally denting or scratching it. The unfinished neck feels amazing and fast.

Digging it.
I am really digging this bass so far. I love how there are tone and volume knobs for each pickup. The sounds and tones you can create are amazing. The band I play with has a wide range and I can dial this bass in to make the right sound for the song.

BASS !!!!!
Exceeded expectations that were already pretty high. I am a Flea & RHCP FAN but this bass really has nothing to do with that. Just a great instrument.

Good attempt - but details matter
I was initially very excited when I saw that Fender was going to launch this bass and that the pricepoint was going to be considerably lower than a genuine 61 jazz bass. That being said, it's disappointing that Fender didn't spend more time on the fine details to make this really feel like it's another one of Flea's basses (perhaps this was intentional). Some details that are off are:The weathering of the paint where you can see wood - if you look at any photos of the original one Flea owns, you can see that he hasn't worn through the wood and that the paint is lighter in the "worn" areas.Another detail is the missing string mute screws and screw holes for the pickup covers.The pick guard is also a much darker hue than the original bass.Also the headstock on Flea's original has a screw on the back (google photos).All in all, it was a good attempt by Fender, however if marketing something as "Just like Flea's" they should really take the extra step to put those finishing touches/details in to really make it feel like the original.

Good finish and great neck
Good finish and great neck.It requiere some basic set up and you are set.The bass had a serious ground problem, one pick up had a bad winding, hum, E intonation problem ... I invested additional money to solve those problems.The guy who solved the problems worked at Fender factory in MX and said that quality control with the bass never happened.Right now the bass is ok but gave me a lot of problems.It looks like a marketing campaign without quality control.

Great sound and great value
I’ve been playing bass for over 50 years and I’ve owned over 30 basses over that span.. this by far is the best $1000 I’ve ever spent... the sound of the pick ups are as live as any pre-amp pick ups... the neck it wonderful... I will never buy another bass...
