Fender Mark Hoppus Precision P-Bass MINT! Transparent Surf Green Jazz 3819
NOTE: Click on image to open large gallery.
You're looking at a mint condition 2011 Fender Mark Hoppus P-Bass in Transparent Surf Green. No visible dings or scratches. Looks like new. Neck and frets in excellent condition. This is NOT the same as the other Hoppus basses currently on eBay. Note how others have serial on front of headstock and say "Prescision Bass" in small letters. This bass is one of the Mark Hoppus re-issues starting in 2006 with extensive changes, including:
-- Reverses the standard P-bass pickups to give more umph to the D and G strings.
-- The body was made lighter using ash instead of alder.
-- The maple neck is upgraded, using graphite support rods for stability.
-- The headstock decal is the very cool large Precision 70s logo.
-- And the finish is an awesome translucent look--compared to the flat original look.
These upgrades to the bass came after Mark toured with the original design and wanted to improve it. Bass looks new--almost like going back in time and getting one at the store (they're now out of production). I will set up the bass before shipping and it will be ready to play out of the box. Fast & free shipping in the USA and 30-day return policy. Weight is 9 pounds, 10 ounces. No case. Thanks for looking!
