You're welcome!

I love your videos, Bart! Thank you so much for all this great content! In my opinion, the Modulus Bass tone was the best Flea has ever used! That bright, modern and aggressive sound that cut through the mix suits the RHCP style so well... This video had been removed and you re-uploaded it, right?

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Thanks! Re-uploaded with some updates 😊✌️🎸

GREAT AS ALWAYS BART!!!!! This is a really good investigation, just like the other vids. Thanks!

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Thanks! ✌️🎸

[@TheAlfaproyect]

Thanks Bart for this beautiful presentation! Always doing an outstanding job. I also wonder what makes the sound of this bass, is it the graphite neck? is the lane poor pickup? I doubt since he also used one with Seymour Duncan pickup. Is the OBP preamp? or is the action really low and his attack? so many questions😅

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

It's everything above 😉 However, if you listen to "Freaky Styley" where he used Music Man Cutlass I, it sounds different than a regular StingRay. I think the graphite neck is a huge factor. This is why his Fender Active Custom Basses don't sound the same as Modulus.

[@zeenedin9013]

@@BARTFUNKBASS btw his Fender basses, especially the new Flea bass, sounds so boring. No character whatsoever.

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

@@zeenedin9013 They may even sound quite good, but we'll always hear them in comparison to Modulus.

[@zeenedin9013]

nice videos thanks! What I don't understand is why Flea treated his Modulus basses so badly. He wanted a custom bass, gets a gorgeous unique sounding custom bass made by fricking Modulus and he smashes it in 97, the very same year he got it. He smashes it in 98 because it was out of tune and who knows how many more. Why destroy your own custom instruments?

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Too much money? 😁💵💵💵

[@TheAlfaproyect]

I believe he addressed this by saying he was in a bad stage of his life and he regretted it

[@zeenedin9013]

@@BARTFUNKBASS yeah rockstar millionaires get out of touch with reality and cannot value things.

[@zeenedin9013]

@@TheAlfaproyect bad stage of his life? Like depressed or smth? Nope, just spoiled rockstar divas.

[@ricardog.s2505]

Idk if I'm blind or dumb (or both) but I can't find the "Flea and the P bass" video, or you haven't uploaded it yet?

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

I haven't.
