Ampeg SVT-3 PRO + Ampeg B Series Cab + Mark Hoppus Fender Bass - Blink-182 Perfect Sound

[DylanPendletonCovers]

you gotta take in consideration that its a home recording so the tone will not be the greatest as it would be live or in a professional studio

[ultimatebung]

wow really bad tone man, theres no oomph to it. really thin sounding

[tiguilherman]

is this supposed to be a bass tone?

[patian9]

sounds reaally good

[FridayPoint3]

what are his amp settings? bass, mid, and treble?

[FridayPoint3]

whats buzzing?

[and90s]

The worst tone I have ever heard

[Drewski691]

Jealous i want all that stuff!!! :O

[yczguy]

Can I get the amp settings you are using

[Xxrickibee94xX]

i agree that mark isnt that great of a bass player , but you have to understand he sings 90% of blink 182 songs so it kinda has to be simple for him to sing

[ClassicRockMan95]

@Xxrickibee94xX nah... listen to rush, king crimson(69 - 74) the bass lines are extreme, and they sing... mark just sucks ass

[Xxrickibee94xX]

@ClassicRockMan95 mark is awsome , and geddy lee just has a natural gift at it , some players cant play intricate riffs and play at the same time

[AvAkennyAvA]

Your covers in here I love, despite what everyone says.

[like400zombies]

doesn't the guy in the picture look like justin bieber?

[sventrex93]

what a great tone

[letterbekmen]

The tone makes me jizz

[BassMirror]

What r u playing at 1:16 ????

[GuernB2]

u miced the horn, ya jackwagon

[TheGreenohio822]

I love the tone of Ampeg, nothing compares. It's BS that they are now manufacturing their stuff over seas. I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on something that isn't American made. Ampeg best get their shit together or they are going to lose their reputation.

[xLot225musicXx]

Ampeg kicks ass, along with Gallien-Krueger.

And of course, the bass does!

[buhdaable]

oups, sorry, didn't see the body...it's a jb.

[buhdaable]

Hi,

i like how your svt 3 pro sounds, i like the blink's cover.

Thanks.

Strange your jb only with pb pickups !

[mrbassman25]

cool gear, i have a hoppus Fender, dont use it though, as for creating his sound, u'd be best to find your own sound, rather than emulating someone elses.... :- /

[LWhitebass]

Played Carousel wrong mate! Needs a B bass note instead of the open D you were playing.

[Raimaru77]

@LWhitebass Nop guy it's a D ,and you can play it Higher (12th fret) or open, and Open sounds better in my opinion

[TheCurvedEarth]

you spent $3800 on this set up? holy shit haha

[blink182fanya]

@TheCurvedEarth Yeah but i sold it all now; i have a svt classic head and 8x10 coming :)

[TheCurvedEarth]

@blink182fanya haha man, i was JUST going to say you could sell that stuff and buy the svt and 8x10. its what i have, its a sick amp.

[greendaythebeatles]

@blink182fanya you sold the hoppus bass?

[FrenchBeefCDN]

@blink182fanya Thats actually insane. I bought my gear used, spent $900 give or take a bit, and got a USA made svt-3 pro and a mint svt410hlf from 07'. Mine doesn't sound this good though, probably your bass.

[farewellwelfare]

@TheCurvedEarth

Whats funny about that? I would happily spend that for that growl. *kicks my gk*

[TheCurvedEarth]

@farewellwelfare You can just get a lot more amp for that amount of money.

[vorontube]

Who is Mark Hoppus?

[slysendice]

@vorontube I'm just going to assume you've been living under a rock for your entire life and answer this question. Mark Hoppus is the bass player for Blink-182, a pop punk band that hasn't been good since the 1990s.

[themrfea]

@vorontube the bassist for blink-182

[ShytFerBraynes]

you guys are a coverband for blink182?

[slysendice]

What are your settings? It sounds great!

[himynameissteven1]

whats the name of the song at 1:18

[shiner138]

stop ruining mark hoppus you butthole

[OvErDoS3Dproductions]

What are your settings on your head? I have the same one and I'm trying to get a simliar sound.

[AverageRocker85]

i have that exact same bass i love the way they play

[DrumBum8891]

Poll smoker i highly doubt you actually worked for any of that

[kickflipindy78]

this was miced right?

[Zanthxs]

very cool colour... i'm saving for a strat 50's classic also in the daphne blue... nice tight sound on your fender too... thanks for posting...

[gabyartes01]

sonic blue?

i preffer surf green

[StarkeNonne]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiii :D

[ninjaxbassxkid]

wait in the video, you said "2 pro". but the title says different :/

[slysendice]

@ninjaxbassxkid Nope, he said 3 pro. :)

[ninjaxbassxkid]

@slysendice no... play at :14-16 he clearly says "Ampeg SVT 2 Pro"

[slysendice]

@ninjaxbassxkid No, he says three, he's got some sort of accent (french or spanish/mexican, not sure which) and so it sounds like he says "tree."

[therealjakegreen]

there is no point for anyone on this planet to have to have that nice equipment and aspire to play blink songs. you spent upwards of four grand to play CGAF? leave it at guitar center.

[ibjamin247]

you're a faggot.

[saggamednisse]

Mark uses a bit more bass in the sound, it's not only mid and treble, add more bass and bring down the mid a bit :) (Just a tip!)

I have a SVT-3 PRO head also, Great amp! But I have a regular classic cab 8x10" :)

[rodoo97]

wow men! good job!!

[Hyronimus89]

Hey man what strings you use? Nice playing & sound

[NothinsEverAvailable]

you mine as well suck mark hoppus' dick, you wear his clothes, you own his sig bass (which sucks by the way) and you do anything possible to be like him, even copy his manurisms, wow dude,... just wow...

[BackingTracks6661]

@NothinsEverAvailable I'm with you, Mark's not a very good bassist, but spending money on a bass rig just to try to copy someone elses sound is retarded.

I don't care if people buy signature instruments, just spend 1,000+ on their amps.

You're not Mark Hoppus, so don't try be him.

[Sethummms]

@BackingTracks6661 To bad if your in a punk band the tone is perfect.

[ryche513]

@BackingTracks6661 who gives a shit how much he spends on it. by him buying shit like that it helps the economy and it makes him happy. just because you cant afford doesnt mean you have to shit on this guy

[WheresMySpaceButton]

this is a p bass is a jazz bass body. and that is like a woman in a man's body. it's just wrong. don't get me wrong, it sounds good, but seriously... why the jazz body? I really don't understand why he picked that body.

[DopeSick408]

@WheresMySpaceButton More weight, slightly thicker sound, not enough to hear a major difference if it was a straight p-bass with the quarter-pound pickups, haha never really got that either, probably just for looks I'm assuming, it sounds nice so whatever.

[RaawrimaDinosaur]

thats now pro gear b- series in crap and the svt-3 is just semi-pro pro is an svt-cl with and 8x10

[cgman04]

its not a jazz bass man...it s a P bass......it just has a jazz bass body. but it sounds good.

[carameloytrudis]

si suena feo...nada parecido al sonido de Mark Hoppus

[chevyvan10]

pro gear

pro look

pro attitude

pro results

[MarineViewMike1]

I just bought a sansamp tech 21 bass driver DI, it serioulsy makes my bass tone sound exactly like marks. I highly recommend getting one to fine tune your tone.

[7rj7rj7]

dude, get the classic series cab!!!!! nice tone, but u played carousel wrong!

[pntballer888]

@7rj7rj7 I get to use the classic series cab and it sounds great, BTW he did play carousel wrong, I mean whats the point of upgrading to really nice gear if you cant even play the songs of the guy you worship.

[blink182fanya]

@pntballer888 actually, mark uses a fender AMERICAN model of his sign and a ampeg svt CLASSIC head on two ampeg 8x10 custom cabs, I just made this video cuz i wanted to have a sound like blink for THIS video only, i learned carousel by ear in less then a minute just for playing that riff in this video only, Im not a cover guy anymore, i prefer to play my own shit, and my settings in my band are not even CLOSE to these settings :P

[pntballer888]

@blink182fanya Chill dude i'm just saying that you should check to see if the thing your playing matches the music AT ALL before you put it on the internet so EVERYONE IN THE WORLD can see, its not like my point doesn't make sense. you try to embarrass me i'm going to embarrass you worse.

[blink182fanya]

@pntballer888 Embarass me if you want. I just dont care if theres a few notes wrong cuz the point of the video wasnt a cover but the gear man . But in my covers videos, I make sure EVERYTHING is perfect :)

[westendzoo]

which preamp do you use?

[mrdat]

Couldn't you mic your introduction too?

[dirt1265]

why would you spend that much to sound like mark hoppus? he's not a very good bassist

[explodingshark]

holy mid scoop batman

[stevethomo]

What is the second song played?

[MrIsanity]

cud u slap and pop easily with this bass or if u cant cud cum1 tell me a bass thats good to pop and slap wit

[Blakenaats]

@MrIsanity Any fender is fine for pop and slapping as long as your settings go along with it.

[LiveforMusic8194]

What settings to do you have your Head set to (i.e. low, low-mid, high-mid, high) etc...

[marec5678]

hell yea!!!

[Signe19900]

KOOOOOOOOOOLL

[BlackRosesKill]

can you tell me the songs on order please cuz just reconize the first one and some others

come on man do me that favor plz

[emonemo3290]

Is that the SVT making all the noise? I have the 4 and I can crank it and it's silent

[kungfuridinghood]

@emonemo3290 Dude! Totally, I don't have an SVT right, I have a BA combo, but it's a big heavy modda, and my friend has a pretty light skinny Behringer, and when he pumps the volume to max and I do the same, his is a fair bit louder, I don't know why, but it annoys me, however, tone is very important in my eyes, I'd rather be a little quiter sounding sexy, rather than everyone can hear my shit tone, and his Behringer has shit over all tone, the Ampeg just really has that fiendish mid and low.

[o4849mi]

i wanne buy a Fender AS Mark Hoppus Bass RW Black.

Could you please say what material you recommend?

from strings to cables to amp to....

i wanne have a perfect mark hoppus sound

[balamba182]

[blink182fanya]

@pancho45 a riff i wrote

[DopeSick408]

Is the Hot Rod good for blink shit? I got a Roland 30x

[blink182fanya]

well for playing in a band the hot rod is better, but the rolan 30x is way better soundwise for jamming at your house

use these settings for the roland

Disto: R-ctifier

Gain: 3/4

Middle:0

Treeble:full

and the tom delonge strat is needed to get the pure sound too

[DopeSick408]

Yup I got the TD Strat, Daphne Blue! Thanks for the info

[DopeSick408]

What type of amp do you use for your guitars?

Pleas reply! And not the bass your guitars! lol

[blink182fanya]

im using a roland cube 20 or a fender deluxe hot rod.
