In 2020, Mark Hoppus did a reaction video on the (Blink 182) MTV Untitled Album. In the MTV video (at 28min 24sec) Mark says “Hey! That’s my Roland synth bass. That and somebody was asking me on Discord or on Twitch or on somewhere about the basses used in ‘Always.’ And I went out with Jerry Finn to this place called …what was it called … Black Market …Music. It was on La Cienega …it was this place where you could buy old gear and we went there just looking for music gear and I found that bass to play on ‘Always’ cuz it was like a bass that you plug in to this giant pedal board that puts out these synth sounds (Roland GR-77b). And so that’s the bass.” The YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llpV2uw-6rY

Black Market Music was located at 841 North La Cienega Boulevard, West Hollywood California 90069.
