MGR/Chris Maurice « Fender Mark Hoppus Signature »
Published on 02/17/05 at 15:00First of all. Mark Hoppus is one of my favourite bassist. He is the bassist for Blink-182. A band i listened to from the start. I had seen them live when i made the decision i wanted one. This christmas (2004) i recieved it as a present in the Daphne Blue colour. My parents paid a little over 1000 as it came straight from the factory, there where shipping and handling payments, the local dealer shop had to make money, and what not.
What i like about this bass is the different colours it comes in (not your average colours). I love how there is only one volume knob. And i like how this is an original set up for a bass guitar (precision pickups, j-bass body). I also like how it is equiped with a "top of the line" pick up company called Seymour Duncan. The lows and the highs sound terrific and its great for shows, or just jamming with your band, or yourself. this bass is good for pop punk/rock/fast punk and what not. i would recondmend this product to someone that is looking for an original style looking bass, someone with the committment to playing music and someone who simply likes Mark Hoppus as a bass player.
there isnt really many things to say about the bass in general. except when i got mine, i noticed underneath the tuner, they accidently drilled a hole in the wrong spot. but that isnt on every make. just mine (grrr). i dont have any other complaints but for people who play metal/jazz/blues/reggae or any of that style of music. you probably wouldnt like the bass as much as people of that genre complain about the bass not having a "tone knob". but people who love the punk/rock music. this is a def. buy.
well crafted. smooth. original. ive had mine since this past christmas (december 04) and nothing has been wrong at all with it. it is greatttt quality compared to my Squier/Fender P-Bass Duluxe.
bottom line.
good bass for the buck. aka good bass for the price. best brand you can get in my thoughts. andddd well, this bass simply has it all for your typical punk rocker.
