June 2011.
I've heard and seen some pictures of a Blacktop Jazz Bass (w 2 split pups), a Blacktop Precision Bass (w two humbucker pups), a T-Bucket Bass (acoustic) and a Squier Vintage Mod Mustang Bass.

DOMINATOR Huh ?? Where can I get one ? I want the Ebanol Fretboard though,are they avail.? I hope so,If not I will just glue one on top of the original fretboard,Its been done before :idea:

I agree w/discontinued statement its spot on,but having owned 2 Stu Hamm basses(one US and one Mexican made)The Stu was a bit odd feeling due to its 35' scale needed to accomodate its 2 octave fretboard,and also has a very thin neck making it a pain to intonate and set the truss rod for relief on a naturally bowing neck(longer scale necks naturally bow)even without string tension,its a hit or miss adjustment done only by expierence and feel when setting the neck by eye.
Back when all the factory specs were hard to come-by,now they're readily available to allow for exact settings(not the oldschool way like we do it)so adjusting a longer neck can be dont to an exact science,not trial and error like we know which also cuts down on the time spent having to take it all apart and put it together to test an adjustment made to the neck,set to specs and go from there,the basic settings allow for less labor and time spent,henseforth saving money(not passed down in savings to us)
:mrgreen:

The Rosco Beck was a great one. Fender should make a U.S.A. version of the Mark Hoppus to make up for it. All would be forgiven.


Not to be insulting Hoppus fans but Hoppus sig is to make money, moderately priced bass for the Hoppus fans. The RB sig was modeled after a player that made a mark in the bass world, not just his niche or genre, but bass world as a whole. Making the Hoppus to an MIA would make it too far out of reach for most of his fans and defeat the purpose of the bass.
