Fender Signature Flea Jazz Bass in Roadworn Faded Shell Pink
Flea’s funk- and jazz-influenced basslines helped propel the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to the top of the rock and alternative charts while redefining the role of bass in the modern era.
Flea’s unique playing style brought a welcome breath of fresh air to the musical landscape of the past four decades, inspiring countless bassists to add a funky touch to their sound while exploring new techniques and harmonic possibilities. To celebrate his enduring influence, we’ve recreated his prized Shell Pink ’61 Jazz Bass that he received from a fan and used to record the Peppers’ Stadium Arcadium and The Getaway, as well as with the supergroup, Atoms For Peace. Shell Pink is the rarest of Fender’s classic Custom Colour finishes, and Flea’s ’61 Jazz Bass is quite possibly the only one in existence.
We’ve carefully recreated his personal instrument’s exact faded shade as it exists today, and then applied an eye-catching Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish that perfectly replicates Flea’s playing wear. A special neck plate engraved with Flea’s own artwork commemorates the inspiration behind this instrument. Other aesthetic touches include nickel/ chrome hardware, 3-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and aged white dot position inlays. Melding rhythm and melody with fierce personal style, Flea has left his mark on modern music, and the Flea Jazz Bass is the perfect tool to make your own.
For over 40 years we have stood proudly behind Fender. As an official Authorised Fender Dealer we have sold literally thousands upon thousands of Fender guitars and amplifiers dating back to the first Pink Paisley Telecaster in Australia. As an authorised Fender Service Centre, we take great care when it comes to repairing, servicing and setting up Fender guitars and amps. We are one of the leading advocates for the Fender Custom Shop range in Australia and we love being able to take customers on the journey of designing and receiving their custom-built dream guitar; the look in their eye when that beautiful instrument arrives is still one of the reasons we love what we do. We also pride ourselves on the incredibly close and personal relationship we have with Fender Music Australia (and the Fender Music Instrument Corp.) that extends to not only regular specialised training and updates for our devoted staff but also to personal invites for VIP tours of the Fender factories (in the US) and invites to see some of the greatest guitarists of all time including Bonnie Rait, Mick Thompson and Jim Root, to name just a few. Fender for life.
