Flea's endorsement

[bart_funk]

Hi,

I am doing a research on Flea's Music Man basses he was using over the years. He was using them from 1983 until 1996. My question is when the endorsement really started?
Was the success of the album Blood Sugar Sex Magik [1991] the beginning of cooperation?

Also, this piece of Bass Player, Feb '96 article I found very interesting:


I wonder if "slighter deeper cutaway" has been done since the joined EB...
Also, I have never seen this silver sparkle one.

This is the video of FLEA's MUSIC MAN BASSES video I did in 2020. Although, I still find pictures with different specs so I am going to do an update video.​

All I can think of is I can imagine he was playing a stingray long before making it big, big so to speak so, early mid 80s
cool vid btw

There are Music Man artists....and they are family.
Then there are some who don't get the family thing.
And that's all I'm saying.
