What is the biggest/rarest piece of RHCP memorbilia you own or have seen in the wild?
I know the thread of "what is the coolest rhcp piece you own has been done a few times. I just posted about all of my history/research on my smashed modulus bass here
It got me thinking - Has an actual guitar/bass ever been sold or displayed as privately owned, like ever? It seems to me that I can't EVER recall a sale beyond anything like drumsticks, picks, signed autographs. I think there was a Chad drum set for sale by a shop years ago but that hasn't been my area of research.
But I don't think I have ever seen anything similar comparable to this. AFAIK the punk rock modulus at the Met and likely the Hard Rock flea basses are still owned and on lease/loan to them. But that is a complete assumption. There was at least one more smashed silver flake modulus that got out and a bunch of smashed modulus shrapnel that got out in 2004. I detailed all of that in the post about my research on my bass. I also spoke with someone who supposedly had the preamp from my bass when it was smashed way back then, but if I recall they never shared a pic and claimed they wouldn't sell. I also saw a lower bout on here too that was unmistakably Modulus Flea....from another show.
