Is supposed to happen at the end of a show, according to the Rock N roll rules isn't it?
Well here's Flea breaking that rule (and his bass) at the very beginning of an RHCP show.

That's Rock N Roll for you.

Seems to be a tuning issue!
The background comments are funny!

It sounded like the signal was crapping out on him. You can see him turn to his amps at one point like he's trying to figure out what happen to the signal. And then he smashes a bass that he endorses. Beautiful!

Imagine what he did to the roadie who didn't make sure the equipment was working properly..

Hey Jeff, you have found a good use for clones.
Marc, I'm thinking it was a ticked off roadie that set him up and ran. As he appears to be a tense young man, he may have ruffled some feathers. I would think there is more to the story due to the quick violence administered to the poor bass.

Or then again maybe he's just a rich idiot. I think tense is an understatement, haha!
