Did you guys ever try to make a deal with Mark Hoppus or vice versa? I know he played a Stingray for quite awhile in the early to mid 90's. Nothing happened with that?

 

[jongitarz]

He used to play a Stingray, but went to Fender. They probaly lured him away by giving him his own model. He does use our strings.

 

[MCBTunes]

Yeah I thought as much, they probably gave him a big chunck of change to endorse them too.

Was he ever endorsed by musicman? Or did he just buy all his basses of the shelf?

 

[Derek]

He is still endorsed however just on the strings as Jon mentioned.
We did supply Mark with a few Stingrays as part of the relationship we had built with the band. I remember seeing some pastel type finishes that we did custom for him.
A powder blue stingray with pearloid white guard and a soft orange colored Stingray.
At some point in 1998 he left to built his custom signature bass.

Ok yeah, I've seen him with both those basses in 96-97, I think he had a gloss black one before that too. Those pastel finishes are nice.
