Before I discovered Blink-182 & the Mark Hoppus bass I was really into and I designed this bass but it was a proper Jazz Bass with the seymour duncans on them bascially the same ha (These ''designs'' were drawings)
BUY ONE I got a deal on mine and its amazing I used the money i saved to switch out the neck to a jazz bass neck because it was a little more comfy for me and its amazing! Great look, i got it in all black and im always getting compliments on the look and sound. Everyone loves jazz basses :P
@MrIsanity it's not the bass it's the bassist if you have an excellent technique you can slap and pop anything that has 2 strings :P (well maybe not) go to a store and try it oouuut (this was designed for punk rock so yh)
yeah ike the time when u fucked ur dad. haa and if ur tryun to say? i was there, recorded it and everything. its on youtube. go look it up. its called father sticks finger up kids anal holes(:
"Playability of the wider neck"? The P-Bass neck is way harder to play. Jaco's other bass was a P so that when he went back to the J it would be easier. He used it for exercise
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ulghe, it looks like a terrible bass, why would you want more space on the top of the neck? if its thinner, then you can play faster, and why would you want p pickups on a jazz bass?, it just looks retarted, oh, and "one knob for volume!" fuck, don't get suckered in to buying this, yoo have a tiny tonal range then, get a bass with a p and j style pick up system, and a thin jazz like neck, so you can play rock, that is played with j pick ups, fucking doucher!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
YES that bass is a piece of crap they're just selling the name to those gay little punk obsessed kids who think they're rebels and wanna make love to blink 182
I have a Mark Hoppus bass in shell pink. When I bought it, obviously there was a little influence because I liked the band, but honestly, the bass is sick.
I find Jazz bass to look more appealing, but the true P bass sound, is unmatched, and this bass has the best of both worlds.
The tone is slightly changed which I love, and the one volume knob is cool cause I never touched the knobs on my other basses.
So even if you buy the bass on influence, you probably still wont regret it
You hear 2 in this video. The first one at 0:39 to 0:48 might be A Single Second, but I'm not sure. But I'm 100% positive that the song at 1:12 to 1:16 is Days of the Phoenix.
Also I need help, im not really new to bass playing but now im in a band and weve started gigging. We play our own stuff its sorta punk/party punk. Anyway im tryin to decide which new bass to get for me its either a P-bass or Hoppus signature. Can anyone give any advice?
mark is not like one of the best bassplayers around, far from it, and he doesnt consider himself a very good bassplayer either, he once said his technique is terrible:P but he is a pretty good singer and he likes to rock! and he puts on a show, although he is not a bad bassplayer either but its just nothing special about his playing skills
hey i just got a tattoo the other day, its the Blink 182 smiley, stop by my channel and check it out... rate / comment please!! tell me what ya think! ;D
It's like a jazz body, with precision pups, and alot less versatility.... Unless all you want is the one tone "plug and play" approach, then go for it... otherwise I'd just get a MiM Fender Jazz xD
The way it talks about the bass and then cuts to something that has nothing to do with the bass really pisses me off. And the way Hoppus is talking really makes me feel like a dumbass "and yer ready to rock!"
This is where your statement resides, as for the sense of pop music breaking into the mainstream, I agree with you, he did right.
Standpoint 2: Musicality
This is where I see my issue. Yes, he's in a career successful band and all, but I was replying to someone dissing another generic "bass player", stating "At least Mark knows his instrument" which from a musical perspective, is false. I just felt like pointing it out.
well you gotta think dude.....theres not too much you can do when when you sing and play the bass.......i think he gave blink 182 exactly what they needed in his bass playing skills.....but i see where your comin from dude
This thing is just a j-bass with p-bass pickups and an extra 1/4 to the neck for people are too lame to be able to play on a neck as thin as a normal j-bass.
yea i agree with you i have a j bass and the hoppus bass and to me the hoppus bass plays alot better and it even sounds better with the music i play between punk rock and reggae and also alot of people say its hard to play finger style on it but i think its perfect, but i do see where it is more for a pick style
yeah squier is not what im stickin with. but i can turn down my tone all the way and crank up my vol. and get a clean sound almost identical to marks i herd this bass was made with a lighter wood.... wud work wonders for someone like me who jumps around while playing.
it probably does feel like a toy.. i have a Fender Starcaster dude that thing is awesome im not kidding. it stays well tuned for longer than a lot of others.
Hands down the most beautiful bass of all time. This and the Surf Green one....my God. It looks like cream white but can´t be found on their site
