This Fender Mark Hoppus signature bass is listed as a Jazz model in the manufacturer's catalogue. However, the headstock states otherwise. If we do not know Mark Hoppus swapped the neck of his pre-signature Jazz bass with a Precision neck (because he prefers the feel) & that detail was perpetuated to date, then we'd be confused. Some newbies would have thought he's duped by the stores if no efforts were made to explain the misleading categorization.This is a revised model for 2011, I thought they'd revise the labels on the headstock as well but as evident here, they remain in tact. Well, if they were updated to be politically correct markings, then it won't be what Mark Hoppus would have wanted, yes?

is in the jazz model becuase mark is using a jazz bass body
the instrument features enough quirks to exclude it from any firm category.
