Fender gives Mark Hoppus’ Stoned Fruit Jaguar Bass a 182-hour made-to-order release

The $1,499.99 Guava Green signature bass recreates Hoppus’ current stage instrument and lets buyers place its psychedelic fruit decals themselves.

Fender has opened a 182-hour ordering window for the Limited Edition Mark Hoppus Stoned Fruit Jaguar Bass, a Guava Green recreation of the instrument Hoppus currently plays with blink-182. The made-to-order model costs $1,499.99 in the United States and is sold only through Fender’s website, with the product page listing an expected December 1, 2026 shipping date. Buyers receive the psychedelic “Stoned Fruit” decal set separately, so no two finished basses need to look exactly alike.

The design traces back to the Guava Green Jaguar that Hoppus brought onstage during blink-182’s 2023 world tour. Ohio artist Phil Guy, better known as Burrito Breath, created the fruit illustrations for that instrument after Hoppus commissioned him directly. Fender has translated the same idea into a production model while preserving the do-it-yourself sticker ritual associated with skate and punk culture.

Under the artwork is a deliberately stripped-back bass. The alder Jaguar body carries a reverse-mounted Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pound split-coil P Bass pickup, controlled by a single master volume. A maple neck with Hoppus’ custom “C” profile joins a 9.5-inch-radius slab rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets and white pearloid block inlays. A four-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge can be strung through the body or top-loaded, and the package includes a deluxe gig bag plus a custom octopus-logo neck plate.

This is not simply another color for Hoppus’ existing signature line. The short buying window, made-to-order structure and user-applied artwork turn the stage-specific design into a limited participatory release, while the familiar reverse P-style pickup and minimal controls keep its performance brief unchanged.

Why it matters

The release captures a recognisable current stage instrument without freezing every buyer into an identical replica, while retaining Hoppus’ unusually focused single-pickup specification.
