ahpook Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Ooooh, nice clutch of basses there (two Marks Hoppus ?) The Mark Hoppus model has a Jazz neck, is that right ? Edited April 22, 2015 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Congrats - we did a "blind" Precision shootout at the Herts Bass Bash last year where people voted with their ears only, and one of these was the overwhelming winner, was up against some pretty good opposition (57P, 66P, 72P, 78P amongst them) as well.

MarkG3 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nice! If I ever got one it would be the blue one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nice pair I love my Hoppus bass to bits. Mine is the very bass that Lozz mentions abov from the Herts bash. I'd be interested to see how you think they compare with the different pickup placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Is yours the older version or the newer? IIRC, the new model has the coils of the pickup flipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icunningham Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Yeah the new model has the reversed p bass pickups. I prefer the sound of the older one in all honesty as to me it's brighter and more snappy? One the d and g strings If you get what i mean Edited April 22, 2015 by Icunningham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have the new one with the reversed pickups, which I do find to be a little less bright than a standard Precision. So it sounds like our experiences match up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
