RHCP - Californication (Bass)

[@WA-fu2cq]

The bass almost makes the music, the feels bro

Wet Air true that’s flea for ya

[@obamabinladen7234]

that is how you know a song is good

[@aliharper7705]

Pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

[@orlandoaugustine3317]

@Ali Harper Yup, been using Flixzone for months myself :)

[@johnathoncastro2669]

It pretty much sets the tone of the song if you think about it so yea

[@alexvazquez1268]

those fresh strings

[@JimmyG01]

Sounds so pretty starting 3:19

[@jolteon43]

No solo would sound that good without the incredible foundations that Flea lays.

[@stevenlee1075]

Simple to play too! If you can stretch enough

[@teejaybell8080]

4:52 that last chorus bass line is so good 🔥

[@BDCTheSloth90]

What I love about John and Flea's work on Californication is how their parts intertwine with each other as if there was only one person playing them. It's damn near telepathic, and you don't fully realise it until you hear their parts in isolation.

[@Tony_Stony]

It absolutely was telepathy

[@pifjehey]

I love particuly that part at 3:19

[@guitarcoverzdaily7644]

flea is awesome

[@Nathanmitchell1989]

This is definantely Flea playing. No doubt in my mind. Great improvisation from him in the start of the final chorus.

[@Solomon1304]

Well who else would be playing??

[@Nathanmitchell1989]

Some people play their own version to a bassline to a song and claim it's the original to fuck with people...@@Solomon1304

[@bobcrist3397]

As bassists go, these are some are of the best for commertial songs (Califroniacation). If if u disagree; so note... Indicate- the lyrics match the song perfectly. FLEA rocks to the core.

The line Flea plays underneath John’s guitar solo is 10/10

cleanest tone ever, not a single moment of fret buzz

[@wojciechchwiej6830]

Lol the fret buzz (intentional) is literally half of Flea's tone. The pre chorus is full of it

[@umi6817]

​@@wojciechchwiej6830 yeah listening to it carefully, you're right

[@teejaybell8080]

2:57- 3:17 best part in my personal opinion

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

This is literally my favourite song to play on Bass

it's way easier to play than it seems, trust me

[@AzogDefilerFromMordor]

I have a difficulty to make such stretch of fingers

[@DAMNHiGHEMO]

Gotta agree with Kuziemek, it’s actually not that hard and quite fun to play

[@roddydykes7053]

Oliver Olsson there’s no way Flea stretches from the 9th to 14th fret!

[@nr8547]

Now the song is perfect

[@AddieOhan1121]

Anybody notice the astrix on the fence? Figures they would sneak it onto the cover. :-)

[@markhawksford785]

DeathMetalMuffin I never noticed it until I got this album on vinyl and noticed it and was surprised.

[@guidorodriguez96]

I don't know who plays this and if it's flea it was a demo version because the first chorus last longer and some of the arrangements are different

[@tommywilliams8474]

Guido Rodríguez the greatest hits version of the song has an extended first chorus

[@jasperguitaring3673]

It's shorter because it's the radio edit

[@Sebrewer32]

What are you talking about? It's 100% the same as on the Californication album.

[@designdefense]

Flea: **plays first lick** Flea:Yeah just copy and past that til the other parts

[@arkhamboss]

yup, thats how riffs in many songs work

[@roddydykes7053]

Kris.C if you listen close no two sound exactly the same

[@cismercier8009]

It's kind of a relief to hear that Flea is only human. This is a good bass line full of feeling, but nothing impossibly virtuoso.

[@CamRebires]

His note choice though, holy hell. Literally perfect

[@direct7735]

Is there a copyright just on this??

[@slipperei]

there’s a missing part at 1:39 ! so disappointed

[@dayrod8229]

It's just the radio edit, but i agree it sucks

I'm a bass player for my band of a singer and guitarist, violinist, and piano player (sadly, we don't know any drum players in our small town so my bass is like a drum) and this rally annoyed me. GIVE ME ALL DA BASS

@@nonbinaryfirefly5792 i mean, you and your band should try moving to a larger town so then, you can (eventually) find a drummer there...

[@TheElectroSX]

ok, rock band got these tracks, they're mastered, but they got mistakes in timing (put together 2 isolated tracks of funky monks bass & drums, flea hurries and falling out some times(i know that tracks on bssm was recorded in 1st-2nd take, but on finished songs u can't hear such a perceptible mistakes)) and how this sounds in rock band? because i never seen this program one thing that i can conclude is that owner of these tracks gave rock band half-raw materials

Yeah, except it's been edited. If you actually listen to the track on the album, the first chorus has the line "Dream of Californication" four times, while in this version, those chords are only played twice. So check your facts before calling someone stupid...
