"Signature models mean just that. You play the same bass I play, and you're probably better at it than I am": Blink-182's Mark Hoppus gives us the lowdown on his brand-new Fender bass and discloses why he has switched to the Neural DSP Quad Cortex

It seems fans can't get enough of the newly reunited Blink-182. Since the pop-punk titans buried the hatchet with original co-vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge last year, the trio has exploded back on the scene with the highly anticipated record, One More Time and its deluxe variant, the aptly named One More Time Part 2, which dropped earlier this month. The band has also taken the revived line-up on the road, playing to sold-out crowds across the globe. Blink-182 are firmly back to retake their crown as one of the genre's most influential bands, and Blink-fever shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. 

Since their return, DeLonge has relaunched his incredibly popular single-pickup Stratocaster and, earlier this year, released a brand-new model in the form of a hollowbody Starcaster, which, of course, was decked out with many of the same specs as his previous release. Not to be outdone by his bandmate, Mark Hoppus has added a new model to his ever-growing collection of signature Fender basses; enter the Fender Mark Hoppus Limited Edition Jaguar Bass.
