I have seen/loved all their commercials but I can't remember all the basses the guy has used.

I know 3 of em... Stu Hamm urgeII, 75ri jazz bass, Mark hoppus jazz bass. I know there have been more... so help a brother out!

I've wondered how actively involved the FMIC folks were with "product placement" when those commercials were being produced?

akaTRENT · Aug 4, 2009

which one is the hoppus bass in?

And I thought I was the only one watching to see which bass he'd play next

He had a Lakland in one of the first ones.

Nit-picking, for sure.....but can we say "fondling" the bass rather than playing it? I get the impression that he'd not be able to play an open E if he had to. Hmm...why am I in this mood today?

Really?

Foamy, you mean to tell me you never fondle your bass?

The 75RI at the Renaissance Festival is my favorite.

Yeah, he fondles it like a high school sophomore in the back seat of the car for the first time.

Pirate Commercial - Looks like a silver jazz, probably MIJ
Girlfriend Commercial - Looks like the same silver jazz
Used Car - Fender Tele, singer is driving instead of playing
Bike Commercial - Stu Hamm
Party Commercial - No bass
Renaissance Fair - MIJ 75RI

The lead singer guy comes off like such a douche in those adverts...
Cool to see those basses though.

The drummer, Mario Telaro, and the bass player, Vince Charron, are actually professional musicians in Montreal. The singer (though its not his voice in the commercials) is Eric Violette and he is the only pro actor in the group.

I like the bass lines though. They make me wanna shake my booty.

That guy's a real bass player? Wow, everything about his performances in those commercials says "ACTOR WHO IS BAD AT PLAY-SYNCHING."

Maybe his "real" instrument is the accordian.

Clarke Howard calls that outfit "crooks" and dares them to do anything about it.

Cell Phone - can't tell. Looks like silver with a black guard, almost reminds me of a silverburst gibson. Looks like the guitarist is playing a fender jag so it's probably a fender again

that's a Hoppus. I think you are looking at a different video?

Slightly off topic but I laughed out loud when I saw this:
