John Frusciante uses a Fender Bass VI, according to this "Premier Guitar" interview:

"'Is one of those subtle guitar parts on “Fanfare” a bass?'

"I play a Fender Bass VI on that song—and a Strat, I think. The Bass VI is a bass that feels like a guitar. The strings aren’t wide apart, and it has a guitar-like sound compared to a bass. You can play open chords—anything you can play on guitar sounds nice on it."
