FS MIM Fender Mark Hoppus (Price Drop) £430

[DrBob]

Hi,

I hope it's okay to post a FS ad ?
Whilst I've been a member of this forum for a while I did join it as a guitarist looking to buy a Bass and if I'm being honest I haven't posted much since.

If it's not appropriate mods please delete & my apologies

I dont know if it helps add anything to my credibility but I'm good friends with (and in fact bought this bass from) @dub_junkie of this very forum and I'm pretty well known as DrBob over at www.thefretboard.co.uk.

So yes, anyway, I've got a MIM Fender Mark Hoppus in Sonic Blue with the pearloid pickguard up for sale

As I said I procured this rather fine bass from @dub_junkie of this very parish a few years back now and much as it is a lovely bass I would have to say that I'm not really playing very much guitar, let alone bass these days and on the odd occasion that I do I tend to reach for my USA SUB Sterling, not because I think it's better in any way but more because whenever I pick up the Hoppus I seem to end up descending into Lynott/Harris style 'galloping' bass as it just seems to suggest it !

Real deal, heavy duty Schaller tuning pegs

The mans name on the neck plate, cool if you like Blink182, hidden round the back if you dont so win win right ?

In good nick, the only points to make are that the owner before dub_junkie removed the 'Mark Hoppus' bit off othe headstock logo (I'm guessing he wasn't a Blink fan) and also it was previously in a heavy smoking environment and one presumes out on a stand so there is a bit of a 'yellowing' inside the cutaways.

That said it's been on a wall hanger in my non smoking home for a good few years now and any such odour does appear to have disappeared

Regrettably no hardcase with this one only the Fender gigbag it came with.
[b]I'm based in Glasgow[/b] so I think it's prudent to say i will ship at cost.
I'm sure I can hit up a local guitar shop for a shipping box or if it helps I dont mind taking the neck off of the body to make a shorter, less vulnerable package


[s][b]£430 plus postage on this.[/b][/s]

On reflection I might have 'gone in a bit hard' on the pricing !

So I'm thinking that as long as you are OK with me dropping the neck off of it for postage that

[b]£400 Posted to the UK [/b]might be a bit more realistic

Thanks for reading

Bump for a 'reality check' price drop.

Very cool basses and proud winner of 'Best Precision' at last years Herts Bass Bash!

Would love one in pink

I'd like one in black. It's the only Fender I'd consider purchasing.

Have a bump.
