Skot Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 does anyone know if there is a bass out there like the hoppus but with some different things..Jazzbase body jazz neckpbass quarterpound pickupstone and volume knob?Or would this be a custom job?I really love the pbass sound, especially quart pounders, and love the llok of th j bass, but i find it more comfertable playing a jazz neck. But i dont like the fact that th epbass is neck heavy, i like the way the Jbass just rest their without falling forwards, and I dislike the fact the hoppus bass doesnt have tone knob...so yeh, would a be able to buy this or is it a custom hjob, if its custom job i best forgetr about it cus itll be way out of my league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 unless u find an p/j combined bass...that has those features, ur looking at a custom job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeless Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 It don't have to be like Hoppus you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 this is what you do, Buy a hoppus bass, then buy a Jazz Bass neck off of Warmoth. Then buy another pot, rout the pickguard for another knob and wire it up. total cost: about $750-$900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 It don't have to be like Hoppus you know...I never said it has to be like the hoppus.I just like the jass body and pbass pickups, but i dont like the fact there is no tone on the hoppus.

Bigwig Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 yea it woud cost a shit load...but if u were willing, Jonesie gave some good advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Yeh i didnt think of that. Is there a squire version of the hoppus bass? CUs if there is i might aswell buy that and just rewire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainwreck Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 i think the widths of the neck are different with the jazz bass having a smaller neck so if you were to take a hoppus bass and put on a jazz neck, you'd have some open space around the neck and the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Yeh i didnt think of that. Is there a squire version of the hoppus bass? CUs if there is i might aswell buy that and just rewire it.nope theres no squier version of his bass...but u cud probably find a used fender hoppusi think the widths of the neck are different with the jazz bass having a smaller neck so if you were to take a hoppus bass and put on a jazz neck' date=' you'd have some open space around the neck and the body[/quote']yep, you would have to fill the open space with something...if u got it professionally done they would cut would and paint them to match ur bass..but it wud still be noticable, unless u got a whole paintjob on the bass itself.

Skot Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 so i spose the closest i could get to what i want is just a hoppus bass wiv a tone knob put on....? or atleast if i dont wanna spend shit loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iameric Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 buy one w/ a pj combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjeffrey. Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 i believe they call it a p-bass special. that's what my squier is, cause i started on bass. it's got a p-bass pickup and a jazz bass pickup in the bridge position. look for one of those nad get a jazz bass neck is my advice.

Skot Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 but then id still have the problem of filling in the gap at the neck, and it would still be neck heavy wouldnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iameric Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 hmm, i'm guessing there's a chance it would be. do they make american p-bass specials? cuz that bass sounds like an awesome idea, but i'd want an american once since they play so much nicer. but then again, if you're neck swapping and pickup swapping, it should still sound pretty bad ass no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Im pretty sure they do, i no ive saw a fender pbass specila before but i cant remember if it was american or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 unless u find an p/j combined bass...that has those features' date=' ur looking at a custom job.[/quote']i said the p/j combination was ur best bet from the beginning...unless u wanna spend a shit load...but yea, u cud probably find a combination with a jazz neck and jazz body...but iunno, get searchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Yeh, probs going on warmouth would be best, and having the scratch plate cut just right and stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 yae...it wud be alot work...either way, if u put a new neck on a hoppus, and then rewiered the pickups for a tone nob, or if u got a p-j como and put on a new neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iameric Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 is there anyway you could buy a jazz bass, but buy a hoppus pickguard? i know they made one's like tom's a while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 You could by a hoppus pick guard of wormouth, but youd either have a gaping hole in the bridge where the J pickup was, or have the bridge jass pickup, i guess that would sound pretty cool though if you replaced it with a J quarterpunder and have a p quarter punder too...
