Just a quick recording of a groove I composed with my Sandberg California VM5 and a little bit of compression coming from the OvniFX Smoothie Compressor. Sounds a little sloppy at some parts, but this bass's tone is awesome!!! hope you enjoy!!

Enjoying a lot this new release from the Peppers! Flea is, as always, killing it. I also took a little try on the guitar this time. I hope you like it! Thanks for watching!

Due to the enormous amount of request for tabs, I transcribed the bass line (it doesnt include my improvisations, though). However, if you are looking forward to some musical muscle development, I DO ENCOURAGE YOU to train your ears and try to learn songs by using them as often as possible in order to improve your domain of your instrument and your musicianship in general. As said by bassist Damian Erskine, the tablature method is a shortcut that becomes a crutch and ultimately hinders one’s ability to become a functional musician.
With that being said, here is the link to the tablatures (make sure to follow them along with the video!): https://pt.scribd.com/doc/311740950/RHCP-Dark-Necessities
