Flea, by far. Hoppus is just a generic pop/punk bassist whilst Flea has influenced many bassists around the world with his aggresive style.

Flea vs. da Bears...who would win? DA Bears!
Hoppus vs. da Bears...who would win? DA Bears!

(anyone remember that SNL skit?....LOVED IT!)

as much as I don't like Flea, he's definitely the better bass player....your average bassist can play most Blink material straight out of the box (very little practice).

Flea's playing is definitely more intricate...albeit, not particularly musical (but that's just my opinion, don't flame me for it).

I'm with ya. Blind Freddie could see that this was an argument settler. I don't understand why those people attacking him because of this question came in the first place. Like I always say 'If you don't like it, get the **** out'.
Just for the record, Flea by about 4 football fields.

Mark Hoppus can play bass? :confused:

Why would you even have this argument in the first place. A better argument would be who is more "punk," Avril Lavigne or Mark Hoppus.
