Flea is hands down my favorite bassist. When you see him live you know that theres noone with more chemistry on a bass. I've thought about whether Flea is a better bassist than Wooten, and it almost always comes down to this: Wooten is obviously more skilled. Just look at the guy. Sometimes you can't SEE his fingers cause there moving so fast. He has a million different types of styles and he's unpredictable, BUT flea makes better music. He DOESN'T mess up. I've never seen flea mess up live or on a video/song. Other talented people like wooten get caught up in playing fast and sometimes they bunch notes together that just don't sound good. Flea knows how to play jazz, punk, alternative, pop rock, etc. and he plays them all flawlessly. What makes flea the best is that every one one of his riffs are original and smooth, They SOUND good. I honstly think he's the jimi hendrix of the bass guitar.
