    Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea has launched his own range of affordable instruments.

    The bassist, who teaches at his non-profit Silverlake Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles, noticed that the children were struggling to afford proper instruments and decided to do something about it.

    "I found that a lot of the kids I was teaching were coming in with inexpensive basses, which were pieces of ****." Flea told Kerrang! "The necks were warped and were falling apart. They were like toys. I wanted to make something that kids could afford but were quality, play well and last a long time."

    He added: "I had been adding my name to established bass models for many years, but I thought, '**** it, I'll make my own bass! I'll make it bitching and it'll be cool!' I just want the kids to rock!"
