How To Make: Custom Mark Hoppus Signature Jaguar Bass ~ Part I

[@sylvainrd7887]

Crazy damn good job !! 🔥 Thanks for sharing 😍🥰

[@johnnyway8667]

How did you route the pickup cavity?

[@mosslieveld8884]

Why did you take out the jazz pickup though? Mark actually uses that on in one of his main basses as well.

[@placebochemistry97]

nice built!! I've already considered doing what you did here before.. once I "went hoppus" on my old Jazz bass, I have a video of it on my channel

[@joelewisrandall]

Love the racing stripe 💛

[@Cash_Lovell]

What did you use to fill the cavity’s

[@grvyrdsmusic9185]

this wouldve been a great asmr video, still a good watch though!

[@guillermorosario4578]

Nice dyi bruh. Putty of choice? also where did you get your pick guard and pick ups from?

[@joelewisrandall]

Pickguard was a custom on eBay - sent loads of pictures to get it right! Pickups were bought in store at GuitarGuitar in he UK. I wanted to be able to see them to know they were the real deal (which you can't do so well online).

[@guillermorosario4578]

@@joelewisrandall Thanks bro; I guess the risk was wroth taking...lol. Glad it worked out... Did you use plastic wood for putty?

[@BrandonLeeBach]

Thanks for uploading this project. Where did you get the custom pickguard made?

[@joelewisrandall]

Custom pickguard maker on eBay, they were really good. I just sent some pictures and some measurements and it was in my hands really quickly. Username on eBay is earlpilanz if you're interested - tell them I sent you! ;)

[@xavinacher921]

Nice bass man! What do you use for filling the cavities?

[@joelewisrandall]

Thank you! I used some lightweight wood cut offs and a little epoxy. Because the original MH bass has the paint cracked around the old cavity I wasn't too concerned with getting it absolutely perfect.

[@alexandermacdonald9410]

This is awesome? Did you consider making it a string thru body?

[@joelewisrandall]

Yeah, for a little while. I don't have a pillar drill though and I think I'd always be annoyed with it if they weren't lined up just right. This was easier!

Sanding sealer...

[@alanjameshorner]

very nice, but you went way to heavy on the spray. you need to do about 3-5 coats of epoxy pore fill, then a sanding sealer and then several fine mist coats of the colour, before loads of layers of clear laq. very nice budget project though.

[@donnix768]

Awesome!!!!! Did you use the jazz bass neck from the jaguar special??

[@joelewisrandall]

Yep, its honestly my favourite part! Such a great neck
