[@ferrovic]

I think flea is not being given what he deserves, he should simply be world's best bassist, idk why there are other people considered better. he's unique, and can play this instrument with no effort, just like we speak our mother tongue.

[@Prossdog]

He's a wicked player for sure. But as far as the "world's best" there are numerous guys whose musical knowledge, technique, and ability are out of his realm. Victor Wooten and Bill Dickens for example. "The best" is really people's personal opinions but he's not even close if you're just going by ability
