Prime_BASS Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) I bought this as it was intended to be a project. After it came, I convinced myself otherwise! I don't get on with P-bass sound. [attachment=57562:IMG_1110.jpg] [attachment=57563:IMG_1111.jpg] Mark hoppus sig bass by Fender Mexico. Surf Green colour. Seymour duncan Quarter Pounder P-bass split coil. White pearloid pickguard 1 volume Knurled chrome knob. Jazz bass body Precision neck Schaller strap locks String through body. weight: 9.2 lbs Nut width: 42 mm That's it really, I got this used and so is suffering 1 or 2 dings around the sides, although the top and back remain pretty in marked. I had to do a lot of work to get this in a quality condition. It plays great and gives a great passive P bass tone, even without the tone knob. If you wanted a tone knob you could simply get a concentric pot and replace it with the single volume it has. Price is a very firm £310, that's posted, collected from Nottingham is £300. Trades: I am open but would prefer cash, I am willing to put in cash to anything I'd really want (active jazz type, musicman) I'd give a straight swap to anyone with a Barefaced midget or some kind if markbass head or cab (+cash if needs be) I'll ship it with (or give it you with) a spare gig bag it fits into that has a rip in and a spare nylon strap. Thanks for looking Stephen Edited September 4, 2010 by Prime_BASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBassBob Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi mate, if you could post some pics that would be great as I've been interested by the Hoppus basses for a long time (especially the surf green ones.) Cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looking for: Barefaced midget, old school/vintage looking and sounding basses active or passive, or a lot of effects or an me20b (boss multiFX) with cash my way. Stuff im not interested in, anything that is big and/or heavy anything metal, pointy, synth, digital, signal bending (unless it's a wah). I hope some one takes this off me as I need space/cash for a larger guitar rack and hopefully a EBMM ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I'd prefer cash. Nice interest so far but nothing solid. Edit: sorry found your gear thread. The only thing unwound be interested in is the SUB but as soon as I get a final price for hopefully my new ray, I'll be scooting the SUB I already have on here, I dint really need 2-3 of the same bass. Other than that I look forward to hearing from you. Edited September 5, 2010 by Prime_BASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Either this is a joke cause I'm a jerk, or you are serious. Either way: I did totally forget about your ray once I brought this and then found out an old friend in the US had a more than very nice Ray for sale, it's in my perfect colour and the neck is birdseyed all over. Anyway sorry for messing you about "/ I doubt the Mexicians date the neck heels or pockets on there stuff, however im sure the serial number would reveal it's date of manufacture.

parker_muse Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I thought the hoppus basses had the P pickup 'reversed' if that makes sense? I thought that looked really funky and sweet. When did they stop that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally prefer the reverse P pickup, that's what I've got on my Taitycaster, but it just looks wrong on these. They've not started yet, anyway, I think it said they start in 2011. Oh, and Wayne, if I buy this blame my dad Simon1964, he knows I've been after one and has offered to pay half for my 18th birthday! Mind you, he also promised to buy me a Ford Mustang too, but I think that might have been a lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
