The Official Mark Hoppus Signature Owners Club

[NatalyPlaysBass]

I've searched for this club and was surprised to see that there isn't one yet. I know there's a lot of people on here who can't stand Mark Hoppus but I've seen a lot of people who own his bass. I personally love my Hoppus signature. I love the feel, the sound, and the lack of tone knob.

I didn't make this club to start a war. I simply wanna see your guys' Hoppus bass Post a picture! Tell us the year! Does it have any mods?

Here's mine: 2003 all stock Daphne Blue

[SolarMan]

Can you get some pictures up of all these different colors/schemes?

I think we need to see them all and maybe you posted a pic but I can't see it. Just a red X

Hey how do you make colored text? I want to make the X red.

Maybe this will work?

[red]X[/red]

anyway - get some pic's up here in this piece!

Cheers,

Solar

The red X is my favorite model. Does that one come with the transparent, weightless, odorless and tasteless pick guard?

doesent phalex use one?

I'll try and get a pic up, but I have an original series shell pink that is my everyday practice bass. I added a Hipshot D-Tuner to mine and swapped out the original pickups with Sadowsky's. I really did not like the original Quarter-Pounders at all, but have to admit I really enjoy just about everything else about the bass.

...oh god.. this thread will make me buy one.. he is THE REASON i play bass, but i never got around to finding the one i wanted.

warning: im extremely jealous of anyone who joins

[slapnthebass]

I'd really like to own one of the Surf Green ones (transparent or not). I've always liked jazz bodies and love the sound of P pickups.. I'm interested as to how different the basses with the reversed pickup sound. Sound clips anyone?

Same man. I started years and years ago because of him. Even back when he was playing a Stingray. His signature growls!! You should get it

I'll look for them but from experience, I'd say the new reversed isn't as bright. The difference isn't too big though

[A-Step-Towards]

I have owned 2 of them, one of which was poorly stripped by the previous owner.

There both gone, but I wouldnt mind having a newer one.
