How do True and Warrior gloves/blockers compare, especially when new. Which are easier to break in and which offer more protection? Here are my thoughts after using the Warrior G6 glove and blocker for 1.5 years, but I also need your help in decided whether to keep the True 7X3s, stick with the Warriors, or try something else altogether?

I Bought My Dream Bass | Fender American Professional II Precision
Subscribing! Great unboxing video. Love those surf green/seamfoam green instruments, they look great. Is this one a 32" or 34" scale?
The Warrior catcher is still the best catcher that my kiddos have used playing goal. They have used CCM and Bauer. A sports store that also sells baseball gloves should also be able to soften the catcher you like the most for you. I used to recommend, to my goalies, all white goalie gear as the players are just looking for open net to score on aka white ice.
Yeah, Warrior seems to be the winner. I did return the Trues because the glove just did NOT work for me on the ice, but I then got the Vaughn SLR4, which I quite like but still needs some getting used to. I didn't realize what a huge difference a new break angle would make! For games, I've been sticking with the Warrior because it just gets the job done and works. It might be a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" 😁
You might want a Rocket sport UV dryer, dries gear quickly then you can put back in your hockey bag. As a mom of two goalies and a dad who goes out as defence, it was the best Airmiles rewards redemption I made. If you ever come to Canada bring your gear and tryout an Eli Wilson goalie camp, one of the best guys in the business. Have a great time as a goalie!
Thank you! Fortunately for hockey we live in a SUPER dry climate, so as long as gear is spread out with a fan on it, it stays pretty stink-free. I did get a boot dryer that works really well for gloves and skates in the colder months though! The Rocket does seem super fast though, which is amazing.
@ Canada’s National Canada’s Women’s National Hockey team uses the Rocket dryers too. Gear is dried before they would get back on the bus to continue their pre-Olympics road trip games all over Canada.
It's an illustrious Sea Foam Green
Man I would love a camera like this
It's so much fun! They're all over eBay for pretty reasonable prices- you just have to double check what (if anything) it comes with. I definitely got lucky with this one being in such great shape.
turquoise. pretty
The fact that you played Shes Kerosene by The Interrupters on a Hoppus bass makes me very happy
The fact that you caught that makes me very happy 😁
My son is a goalie. Warrior has the reputation of being the easiest glove to break in.
I think that seems to be true (ironic that it isn't true for the True)
Awesome bass! Are you able to get a case for it?
There are cases for it, but they either need to be a “universal” fit or Jaguar specific.
Bummer about the case! I remember Fender used to make "universal" cutouts - I own the AM Pro II in Miami blue as well and surprisingly haven't tried to fit my jag in there. Good to know! She sounds great though!
Yeah, I definitely understand the value of universal cases now!
Its sad that i never get to Buy such things, i did not have the money when the Old signature models came and i still dont have the money for this one. u_u the nicest basses i own are limited edition Squiers and my self modified Squier Jazz Basses with PJ- Configuration Seymour Duncans and Gotoh bridges. :) why did i even botter going a University for? lol I wish you lots of Fun with your basses they luck so amazing!!!
Thank you! I definitely didn’t have the funds when the original signatures were out and have always regretted it. I like this one even more, so definitely didn’t want to miss out again!
I just found your Channel, love everything about this video. It made my day. Thanks for that 😊
Aww that’s awesome! Really happy to hear that 🙏
Fender has been saving the miami blue for their high end instruments. It's a gorgeous color!
It’s so nice! Tough to photograph but gorgeous in person.
Great vid! Don’t forget the pickups aren’t technically “reversed” the bridge pickup is actually brought up closer to the neck. So they appear inverted, but actually the EA pickup is in the exact same location and the DG pickup is brought above it and closer to the neck. This also contributes significantly to the change in sound! You can tell if you look at a player jag and compare the pickup locations. This Hoppus bass is fantastic and I’ve been playing mine nonstop, the tone is excellent!
FALSE. The EA pickup is slightly, and I mean slightly, closer to the bridge when compared to the traditional position.
Ooh thanks for that bit of extra info!
Super cool guy. Very down to earth vibe. Very well spoken! I got a daphne blue hoppus signature for my graduation in 2021 and its my prize possesion and what I record on. Cheers you've earned a sub
That's such a cool gift! Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Quick Update: I took the True gear to a Stick and Puck and did NOT like the glove at all. The shape of the pocket is really nice, but the stiffness/break angle/ and overall feel were not up my alley. Stick handling was weird too because I felt it put a lot of pressure specifically on my thumb rather than my whole hand when trying to make long passes/clears. So I returned the True's I kept the Warriors because they were so cheap on sale and I can rely on what I 'm getting. But I also ordered a Vaughn SLR4 Pro glove just to try...and I'm REALLY impressed. It has a 60 degree break, which I've never used but fits my hand really well. It seems to be the winner for me!
love it! more music/instruments videos please!
I want to do a big overview of all the guitars and basses! I think it'd be really fun.
🔥🔥🎸
It’s kinda crazy but I’ve been eyeing both of these basses for a while now. The pbass is on sale for around $1485 w/hardshell case I know they’re completely different but if you could only choose one, which would you keep ? I’m kinda thinking although I love the look and the sound of Mark’s bass the pbass might be more versatile. What do you think? Awesome review, thank you!
Seriously the P Bass is that price?! That makes it a very tough decision! The P Bass is definitely more versatile (no surprise there!). But the Jaguar is REALLY fun to play and makes it super easy to get that pop-punk sound (again, probably no surprise there). The quality is where I'm torn. The Jaguar's quality is easily equal to the American P Bass, with better electronics. At full retail price, I think I would actually lean towards the Jaguar, but if the P Bass really is that much cheaper now, then it might be the way to go because of its added versatility. But if you're like me then half of it is just an emotional decision 😬 Logic goes out the window when you're just thinking about which one you'd be more excited to pick up and play every day (I couldn't choose and ended up with both...)
According to a reliable luthier, weather acclimation only matters when you're going from extremes. So if it's -30° outside or 120° then ok, let it sit, if it came from a 70° location to a 75° location then just open the damn thing 😂
I do live in the desert, so in summertime if could go from like a 60 to 120 degree climate, but I don't think it was too crazy this year. Plus it sits at the FedEx center for a day or so before getting delivered, so I don't know if that helps things acclimate? It's definitely and interesting thing to think about!
I think the 0% interest financing on places like Sweetwater is amazing, but also can be dangerous. My advice, NEVER layer these promotional offers haha do ONE AT A TIME.
Absolutely! I usually NEVER do financing, especially for "want" items like this, but...sometimes you gotta treat yourself
The joy it brings you is evident! That’s fantastic. I bought one in the same color and can’t put it down. Enjoy!
I’ve been playing it every day and it’s just so much fun. Definitely rebuilding some calluses here 😁
great video! it was never supposed to be surf green!
I mixed up Surf and Seafoam, but it still looks different from traditional Seafoam (I prefer this one for sure, but it’s just different)
I'd rather have a P-bass in Heather's hair color!😘😜
That'd be awesome 😁
i am genuinely happy for a stranger online!
Hey that's the magic of the internet 😁
I have one too. I have the old version too. It's lovely but not worth the money honestly. The tones you can get from an active musicman sub for £350 is the best/closest hoppus sound I've found. Looks 10/10 though I'm happy with it.
The joy it brings is absolutely worth it to me!
Can't put a price on that 👍@@TOMBUCK2
If it’s in the car, it freezes in MN. If you open it up before a half hour the gloss finish on the bass cracks all over the black/red/blue/colored paint. It’s fine, my friends is perfect after he did that 40 years ago. We always set the guitars in cases for 30 minutes during the winter (I moved to FL just now, don’t have to deal with that). Also being on the truck can f’ with the temperature.
This is interesting. Where I live it's either always "warm" or "hot" so crazy to hear about different fluctuations in places with actual seasons.
True for the old nitro cellulose thin finishes, not for the thicker poly finishes.
omg.. now I want to buy one...
I like it..but waayyy too much $$$
FWIW the quality is equal or better than my American P bass which was significantly more expensive.
Hoppus is a great player. I prefer Precision necks so it seems like the original signature model would be more to my personal taste. That blue Pbass you have is just about the coolest I have ever seen. So unique! And I've been looking at basses for YEARS! You have a new subscriber here. Your wife is just lovely and you are so fortunate to have a supportive housemate! My wife is also supportive. God bless them both!
Hey thanks for the kind words, I passed them along to Heather too! Going back and forth between the two necks has been fun. I love the beefiness of the p bass but also love the slimness of the Jaguar. I don't think I prefer one or the other, they're each just a joy to use. Currently attempting to learn the bassline for Feeling This, which is significantly more complicated than I expected, but a lot of fun.
and the pads sell in my opinion Vaghn sucks and brians and bauer are good
I'm actually really liking my Vaighns! But I'd be super curious to try Brians since a lot of people say good things about them.
out of my 10 years of life
DANG! That's awesome! I wish I was a goalie for 60% of my life!
i have been a goalie for 6 years
but i love your gear if you don't or you do but you should bye the brians optik or the brians net zero 3
i would pick the new warrior and new true and then brake them both in and then use one as game glove (warrior) then use the true as practice glove and i play goalie almost every day i practice but thats just me my gear sucks and is already broken in so that could e one thing
Great plan, thank you!
Scored a crazy Black Friday deal on this. Tom, my wife (also Heather) is not very happy with you right now, but she assures me she'll get over it.
Oh nice! I'm jealous of the discount!! And say sorry to Heather for me.
A blocker is a blocker. Get one that feels good that is the same color as your set and save a couple hundred dollars.
Yeahthat's pretty much how it seems. I'm leaning towards sticking with the Warriors since I like them and they match.
I'm also pretty new to the position, but I've had opportunities to use some True and Warrior gear on "test rides." Personally True is more comfortable and I feel it performs better. Gloves will pretty much always feel stiff new, and there's a couple pretty good ways to break them in that aren't too difficult or time consuming. I'm also a big fan of double-t pockets because I feel like I can see the puck better in them. I wear basically all Bauer gear currently so I can't say much about the long-term.
This is really helpful! Thanks for the insight!
Tom, I’m sorry that I can’t really help. The closest I ever got to playing hockey was broom hockey for fun with come college friends back in the late 1960s. Have fun.
Haha, no worries. I'm guessing gear might've evolved a bit since then 😁
@ our only equipment was rental scares and a broom we brought from home. There was no padding or helmets. Our “puck” was a rubber ball about the size of a volleyball. 😁 Yes, I remember being whacked in the head by the ball.
Happy belated Thanksgiving Tom. I’m just about to sit down and have my family dinner. My cousin said he always liked the Warrior gear, but the True gear is a nice option too (he also said sorry he wasn’t able to give a deciding answer).
Haha, appreciate the feedback! It's tough to go wrong I guess? I'm just trying to take advantage of all these current sales while also trying to find a way to upgrade and reduce "break-in" time. 😁
I'm looking forward to see where it ends up on the wall.
I'm honestly panicking about that 😅
Very nice. I haven't learned my guitar yet but love the sound of bass and already dreaming of learning.
I have the same american 2 bass in dark night. I added quater pounder pickups with ernie ball cobalt strings. It is perfect now.
The Dark Night color is so awesome. 😎
I got one like 2 weeks ago. Same color. Blown away with nice it feels and sounds! So happy with it! Glad you like yours too!
It's been so much fun to play! The quality is every bit as good or even better than the American one too.
You fortunate you not in the tropics. The high atmospheric moisture/relative humidity means lenses not stored in airtight cabinets grow mould which eats away the coating. On cameras, the pesky fungus stains the mirrors. You use mirrorless? Fungus attacks the display.
I've seen people post pictures of that! We live in a VERY dry climate, which thankfully is great for this kind of stuff.
Great unboxing, I remember when I bought my first expensive guitar.
The tom.starcasters great too
Yes! Those look amazing!
The color of the Mark Hoppus bass is Sea Foam Green. It's not Surf Green. BTW, this is a killer review of the bass.
It’s officially listed as “Sea Foam Green” by Fender, but that finish has always fluctuated slightly with different interpretations. I do love this particular shade of Sea Foam, though. I own this one myself and it looks great in person and through photography / film. Very happy you got one for yourself to enjoy! Keep rockin’, Tom. I love your collection and agree with your taste in maple necks!
Oh shoot you're right! I totally had a brain fart and it IS Seafoam Green. But...it's still VERY different from my Seafoam Green Tele 🤔
is is Surf Green or Sea Foam Green? They are definitely different - I love Sea Foam Green and the Mark color is so superior! Great bass
It's listed as "Surf Green" but yeah, it seems to be a very unique shade.
