Fender Flea Signature Jazz Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Gig Bag - Road Worn Faded Shell Pink

Shell Pink

Shell Pink is the rarest of Fender’s classic Custom Color finishes, and Flea’s ’61 Jazz Bass is quite possibly the only one in existence. We’ve carefully recreated his personal instrument’s exact faded shade as it exists today, and then applied an eye-catching Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish that perfectly replicates Flea’s playing wear.

A special neck plate engraved with Flea’s own artwork commemorates the inspirational player behind this instrument.

Road Worn Lacquer Finish

This instrument includes a vintage-authentic nitrocellulose-lacquer finish that allows the body wood to breathe with more natural resonance. The Road Worn finish imparts a cool aged look and feel, reflecting the playing miles Flea has put on it.

Flea Logo Neck Plate

In a special touch, the neck plate on the Flea Jazz Bass is engraved with a logo designed by Flea himself.

Stacked Concentric Controls

The vintage-accurate stacked concentric controls shape the pickups’ volume and tone, as well as allowing the pickups’ voice to be blended in any ratio to craft a unique sound.

Pure Vintage '64 Jazz Bass Pickups

A pair of vintage-style, American-made Pure Vintage ’64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups provides classic, original-era Fender tone with clear articulation, clear low end definition, up-front midrange punch and singing high end.

Vintage-Style Bridge

The vintage-style bridge sports four threaded steel 'barrel' saddles, adding a touch of crispness that enhances the attack for tone that can power through a busy mix.

Flea & His Shell Pink Replica Jazz Bass

Flea’s funk- and jazz-influenced basslines helped make the Red Hot Chili Peppers household names among those who appreciate the art of groove with attitude, bringing a welcome breath of fresh air to the musical landscape of the past four decades. To celebrate his enduring influence, we’ve recreated his prized Shell Pink ’61 Jazz Bass that he received from a fan after requesting in his online tour journal if anyone knew where he could get a pre-CBS Jazz Bass so he could be 'as cool as John Paul Jones'.
