Mark used a Fender Classic 50's Precision bass that he refinished himself. It is natural wood, with a maple neck, DiMarzio Split-P pickup (added 2015) and Hipshot Bridge (added 2015). He used it during the Light Me Up era tour (2010-2012) and on the Vans Warped Tour in 2010. He had it altered in February of 2013 (at Ralph's House of Tone in Dover, NH in ) to be strung BEAD and is now only used rarely on low-tuned songs. "I refinished this one myself about two years ago. Nothing like showing your P bass some TLC!" Facebook comment 12/20/2011

Modifications

My 'go to' bass, modified with Badass II bridge, Lace Sensor Pick-ups, black pick-guard and buffalo bone nut - this bass will give an American P a run for it's money any day...

what do you think of the Lace split single? Never heard one in action and I imagine the Sensors would be really more bass than guitar friendly (they are a little dry in a strat to my ear though the hot golds and chrome domes are growing on me a little)

Here's a link to the model of Lace pickups I'm using: http://www.proaudioland.com/lace-sensor-p-bass-set-black.html (they look like an older version of the current Lace "Man O’ War P Bass" pickups). To my ears they have quite a warm 'vintage' sound but with enough clarity to cut through a band mix...
