HOW MUCH IS FLEA'S SIGNATURE WORTH!!!?
A $800-$850 bass with his signature starting at $5599!!!
I don't think so.

Psycho Ward,
I believe the entire telecommunications infrastructure everywhere around the globe saw a severe reduction in value after that photo was posted....

Firstly, it's a Stingray, not a Sterling. That would be enough to make me question the validity of the bass.

I just want to see how far this auction goes before someone calls CG on that f/u!Bowks said:

That would be a nice addition to any of the Hard Rock cafes around the world. Prollee wouldn't blink at the price either.

That bass was on display up here in Spokane Wa when they opened their crapbox store. I think they wanted 5k for it when it was here.

We could use the DNA to prove if it was really his bass!midopa said:So is it the mojo from Flea's unit on the back of the thing what drives up the price???

Hahahahhahahahahh 6000 dollars what ever they're smoking they need to give me some of that lmao haha wow thats insance
Yeah, in some strange way it's fair I think.
It's black on black/Rosewood... Not hard to find if you're not a Flea fan, so it's not like you're in any sticky situation to buy it. And for those fan-addicts, it's a good opertunity to own more crap.
Well that's not entirely true, it is a MM, but it's only been used by Flea, not improved. He didn't add a four thousand dollar preamp he designed. That would be different.
So those who just want a Ray can get a Ray, and those who want the sentimental value can dish out the extra cash.

Years and years ago (about when that bass was made) I lived in Norhern California and ran into someone who then worked at Ernie Ball(I would have to dig up a card to get his name) while we were at a No.Cal luthiers get together.
He mentioned that basses made for flea had been modified at the lower horn, they were cut in a little deeper for him.
BP can you verify this, and that this bass was a bass made for (and probably even given to) Flea...
I would like to own the bass. He is the reason(as with a more than a few of us here) I am playing bass, which then led me down the path of making basses for a living.
I might even consider selling my 1977 Carl Thompson to buy it....
