blink-182's Mark Hoppus Shows off the Basses He Tours With | Gearheads

People ripping on Mark saying he's not a good bass player:
True he's no Flea or Victor Wooten, but he is a good singer/song writer. He also just knows music and has been a producer for other bands. He's such a nice guy and promotes up and coming bands. Plus he is very entertaining live, if his bass lines were too difficult he wouldn't be able to dance around, play, and sing at the same time :)

Who knew Elon Musk could also play bass

Those cartoons on the blue one remind me of Simple Creatures. Reckon it inspired the SC videos??

Mark uses flatwouds?

anyone knows the model of the hot pink one??

Mark is a very humble person you can tell that by the way he speaks

Love those Jags!!!! Matt must have made him switch from Jazz to Jag and he was right!

Mark you’re soooo cool!

His basses are so cool

So apparently he exclusively plays Jaguars lol

His old jazz bass with p pickups is way cooler

I have so many questions lol, why no more signature bass? why jagbasses now? I miss the jazz

Matt skeez is a 🐍. Left a trio to ruin a trio. I loved alkaline. But can’t even listen to new blink

dave ellefson has the reverse p pickup i think...

Blink 182 ‘the golden years’ :)

🛸👽🛸👽🛸👽

lol ive run though the desert when it wasn’t there before too

I never thought about running both pickups through a single volume, unless he just has the j-bass pickup disconnected and along for the ride.

Insane idea how he switched his pick up position to get the frequencies even. I'm not a fan of blink 182 but you learn so much from videos like this. Plus cid

in """""""""""A""""""""""" band called blink182 xD ... how to be humble in 10 secs

The Pink One Is Too Old ❤i luv it much as You

I’m not a huge fan of the mustang look but that octopus one looks really good

Jesus loves you!!!!!

People rip on marl but he’s probably one of the first bassists to actually make a change in basses and knows his tone 😂😂😂also a cool thing about make is he keeps his bass playing in the middle not to boring and simple but not to complicated

So if it has no tone knob, is the tone "glued" to 10 or 0?

What happened to his black stingray?

One knob volume like tom delonge’s guitar

So Mark only uses Jazz basses? I don’t know too much about basses but these look like jazzmasters and jaguars to me which believe are jazz basses. Can someone explain it to me and help me out? haha

Elon Musk is a Bass player.

how come i don't have friends that run around putting acid in my drink for fun.

Still my favourite bass player

i kinda hate when people's bottom standards for bassists are Flea and Cliff Burton 🙄

Thought this was a fishing video

That inverted split is genius. Yes, that should be the standard split coil layout. It really does even everything out.

Get well soon mark

Smart on those pickups! That's a great idea :D

"Hi my name is Mark Hoppus and I ruined blink 182."

I'mma do that inverted pbass setup on my short scale

I want a pink bass so bad lol

Has anyone figured out what songs are in this video yet?

Mark should clear coat those paint jobs. Dope stuff.

What's the background music?

What's the music at the end

Entwistle and lee sklar both flipped the p pickup too, “mark”of a genius

"No ones taken my idea on reversing the pickups" ibanez heavy breathing

Amazing 🎉

Bullshit he definitely meant to do the acid lmao 😂😂😂
