I'm very interested in this Bass actually (I love the colors it comes in too), but I still can't get over the rosewood board /w no matching headstock.

I usually like maple too but I love Mark's bass neck

I have a new mark hoppus signature, transparent surf green with the reverse pickups.

Hey guys,

I'll have my Hoppus bass in my hands around this time on Wednesday. Can't wait for the UPS guy to deliver it. I currently own a Schecter Custom-4, Schecter Studio-4 fretless, and Squier Matt Freeman Precision... so this one should fit nicely with the others. I'll post pictures of the new delivery in a couple days!

Mossiebass · #64 12-10-2012, 06:19 AM

I'll take a number

Here's mine! It has LaBella Original 54s on it. I'm not a 100% sure it won't warp it, but damn it sounds good!

I think it is a 2001 model.

Okay, she arrived today. Plays great, had to lower the action a good amount. It came from the factory sky high!

Not sure if it'll be my new primary bass since I like my Squier Matt Freeman so much. I'll have to play it some more.

Sorry for the blurry shot, it's from my phone.

Mark Hoppus is not on my long list of favorite bass players (sorry Hoppus fans),

but he has a cool looking bass, which looks even better now with the mods.

Hey, I'll take a number! This is my Hoppus bass. Made in 2012. I love it and he is the reason I started playing bass, as well as my favourite bass player. So in a sense it is my dream bass....all of my other basses are modelled after this one in some way or another

tomnomnom91 · #69 01-16-2013, 01:13 AM

I'd love one of these things. The lack of a tone knob does concern me, though that must mean the tone is absolutely kickass for pop-punk, right?

TESPE · #70 01-16-2013, 02:32 AM

Here's a photo of my basses including my 2004 surf green Hoppus bass.

It's a nice bass, doesn't get much played though, because i like the jazz sound more than the sound of a precision. Why do I have it? Because he's the reason why I started playing bass in the first place

Concerning the poll: I like the plaid one he used in the early 2000s and the grafitti yellow one from the AOL-Sessions

Are the new US standard bridges a direct drop in for the current Hoppus bridge? Also, what would be a direct drop in tuner replacement? Seriously considering one of these bad boys.

survivalist · #72 02-14-2013, 03:22 PM

would love to join this club!

Yes and not sure.

I swapped the bridge on mine for a pre 2008 MIA deluxe bridge. So long as it has the three screw mount and string through option, you will be fine.

BTW, I sold my Surf Green Hoppus and Delonge set earlier this week. I still have two Hoppus bodies left and I REALLY want to get them both refinished. Hopefully that can come in the next month or so....

It's absolutely spot on. The SPB3 pickup and a Bass Driver DI box will get you all of that genre's biggest tones. Blink, NFG, Four Year Strong, Fall Out Boy......even bands like Death Cab for Cutie can get played with this bass. It's incredible....

survivalist · #75 02-15-2013, 07:17 PM

I use an MXR bass DI+ with the Hoppus, gets a pretty gnarly tone

slipitin · #76 02-17-2013, 05:08 PM

I would get one, but for the simple fact it has the name Hoppus on it.

it only says Hoppus on the neck plate

slipitin · #78 02-18-2013, 09:49 AM

Hmmm I know, it's all the small things...like other bassists will know I play a hoppus, and I'm too shallow to rise above it and appreciate it for the bass that it is...

i personally dont like blink 182, but its the simplicity that i like, plus i dont see any other Fenders with a J body and a P neck

slipitin · #80 02-18-2013, 09:54 AM

I know, I'm very tempted, cool colours too.
