Description

Embrace the spirit of punk rock with the Fender Jazz Mark Hoppus Signature bass, a unique fusion of power and precision. Co-designed by blink-182's iconic bassist, this electric bass redefines the classic Jazz Bass with its one-of-a-kind pickup configuration. Unlike traditional setups, this model boasts a Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound split-coil Precision Bass pickup, strategically reversed to heighten the bass's unique sonic footprint. This innovative configuration delivers an electrifying snap to the low strings, while mellowing the highs for a richer, more dynamic tone.

Crafted with an alder body and a modern "C" shape maple neck, this bass offers a traditional Fender feel infused with contemporary comfort. The 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability, while the medium jumbo frets and 34" scale length provide the perfect platform for expressive performances. The bridge combines an American series plate with Standard series saddles, optimizing both stability and sustain.

For those who crave individuality in their sound and style, the Fender Jazz Mark Hoppus Signature is the quintessential choice. Its streamlined design features a single volume knob and a distinctive 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard, ensuring it stands out both visually and acoustically.

    Source
  • Owners with older models report no paint issues, even after 20+ years, suggesting variability in finish quality.

    Source

Comparisons

    Source

In a reddit post, a user asks about the bass sound on Tycho's Awake:

"First of all, the instruments sound absolutely fantastic on Awake. I know it was recorded with a lot of live instrumentation. As a bass player, I can't get over how awesome the bass sounds (especially on the title track). That pick twangy sound with the right amount of mid and low end just sounds so good - I can't get enough of it. Anyone know what rig the bass player is going through?"

Tycho replies:

"Thanks! I played that part on a Fender Mark Hoppus bass through a UA 6176. Used a lot of plugins to further shape things but that initial input did most of the coloring. I'm also not a great bass player so I don't play the parts correctly and generally only play the top two strings so that always effects the sound (the live bass player plays with the top 3 strings and it never sounds the same to me). If I recall I used a pick. Also haven't changed the strings since I bought the bass new about 4 years ago. It's the same bass we use live, here's Zac playing it (the stripes are console tape): http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/p3zVjRS9qrE/hqdefault.jpg When I first got the bass I had the pickups angled so that the higher strings were more muted. the pickups are closer "
