Leeroy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'm looking for something to play mainly punk rock on, a kind of blink 182 hoppus style. However i'm a lefty so my options are limited, can someone recommend me a punk rock machine? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 if it is just punk you are playing anything in a precision style. what exactly is dependant on your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 budget can stretch if its for something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 what kinda range we talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 lets say up to £500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 not alot off hand, [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=1615"]this[/url] if you upgraded some of the hardware, maybe a badass and some wizard pups would be good and punky. A fender lefty jazz would be in your price range as well (a Mex at least) and that 'd be a pretty good punky bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 IS this a good choice first bass? [url="http://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/buy/Fender/US_Standard_P_Bass_Left_Hand"]http://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/buy/Fender/U..._Bass_Left_Hand[/url] Sure i'm gonna have to sell some stuff to raise budget but it seems to be what i'm after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 any lefty P bass should do it. maybe a mexican P and slap in duncan quarter pounders, then you practically got a hoppus jazz but with a p body instead (after all, the hoppus jazz is just a precision with a jazz body) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Do they do the mark hoppus precision in lefty? if so that's your bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) If you're quick there's a tidy 80's Tokia precision ending on ebay at 3pm, and it's currently sitting at a mere £175. Should be a decent bass - it was basically Tokia that forced Fender into producing the high quality Squier JV range in the early eighties.
