| | | | Mark Hoppus Tone???
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm IN LOVE with Mark Hoppus's tone from his Blink 182 days.
A great example of the sound I'm talking about is their 2000 private show in San Diego. ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=yYxq-r77Y1o)
Does anyone know what settings i need to get this tone?
I'm using a 1998 Fender Jazz and a KUSTOM PA system, the exact model I'm not sure of. There is no bass input on said PA so its just through one of the regular inputs.  |

but its just a guess i aint a blink fan n play with fingers

You can't even hear him except when the guitarist stops playing. It's just plain P bass through an average PA with nothing at all helping it tone-wise. If you have a PA amp you're already there. Maybe scoop your mids a bit so that you can't be heard in the mix, just like in that video clip. Oh yeah, and play with a pick. |

| | | | P Bass + Ampeg. |

| | | | Forget it I just looked at the clip and you don't even need the ampeg for that. But a Sansamp probably wouldn't hurt you. |

and is it just me or does his tone sound "empty"

But here's the video with the album track, where it's still buried in the mix.
But to answer the OP's question, it's his custom Fender (a Jazz Bass body with an SD P-bass pickup and neck) played with a pick through an Ampeg and EQ'd to be bass heavy, mid scooped and light on the treble. Personally I think it's like a muffled version of Mike Dirnt's tone.

...with the exception that I recognized the venue and have played that very stage.
