Flea's Mission:

FLEABASS IS BORN OF MY LOVE OF MUSIC EDUCATION

AS A STUDIER AND TEACHER OF MUSIC, AND A LOVER AND A ROMANTICIZER OF THE TRADITION OF IT,

I WANTED STUDENTS TO HAVE AN INSTRUMENT THEY COULD FALL IN LOVE WITH, AND I WANTED THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO IT WITH THE LIMITED MEANS THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE FOR ACQUIRING ONE

WHEN I WAS A BOY, I USED TO PLACE MY TRUMPET ON MY BED, STAND BACK IN MY ROOM AWAY FROM IT AND JUST STARE AT IT FOR A LONG TIME, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME,

AND I IMAGINED WHAT WAS POSSIBLEWITH THAT INSTRUMENT AND I WAS AMAZED BY IT THE COLOR AND THE SHAPE OF IT AND BY THE HOPE AND EXCITING TRADITION WITHIN IT, THE MASTERPIECES OF HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAD PLAYED ONE JUST LIKE IT BEFORE ME

IN A HECTIC LIFE, CHAOTIC WORLD, IT REPRESENTED TRANSCENDENT BEAUTY TO ME

OF COURSE, MY TRUMPET WAS SUPPLIED TO ME BY THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. NOW CHILDREN ARE NOT AFFORDED THAT LUXURY

THAT IS WHY I STARTED THE NON PROFIT MUSIC SCHOOL 'THE SILVERLAKE CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC'

AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE STARTED THIS BASS COMPANY 'FLEABASS'

OUR SINGLE GOAL AT FLEABASS, IS TO PROVIDE TO YOUNG PEOPLE SOMETHING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH

THAT THEIR FAMILIES CAN AFFORD TO BUY

AND ALSO TO BE A COMPANY THAT CAN SUSTAIN ITSELF OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

FLEABASS IS NOT A LICENSED PRODUCT

EACH BASS WILL BE MADE WITH CARE AND THOROUGHLY CHECKED FOR QUALITY. WE TAKE PRIDE IN EACH INSTRUMENT

IT IS OUR STEADFAST INTENTION TO MAKE AN INEXPENSIVE BASS GUITAR

THAT IS NOT A TOY THAT BREAKS AND HAS LOUSY INTONATION, AND HAS AWAKWARD ACTION, LIKE SO MANY CHEAP BASSES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH YOUNG MUSIC STUDENTS
BUT IS A SERIOUS INSTRUMENT THAT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY AND THAT WILL ONLY GET BETTER WITH TIME
AND LOOKS COOL AS HELL
