I know, this is only for basses, but does anyone know what kind of strings Mark Hoppus uses? I've found The Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's, but those are from 1999. So if anyone could find it, i'd appreciate it alot! :D

Well for a start his tone isn't all that unique so try looking at similar bassists and see if you can find what they use. Don't forget that 90% of the tone will be from your amp and pickups too. I find new strings always give me a great punchy sound for playing his sort of music and more besides.

It never ceases to amaze me what a difference putting new strings on your bass makes.

At the end of the day though, experiment! :D
