Yamaha | Peter Hook Discusses His Signature BB Bass Guitar

Legendary bassist Peter Hook discusses how Yamaha bass guitars have played a central role in his musical journey, from the early days of Joy Division to the present, culminating in the new Peter Hook Signature BB bass. Hook’s pioneering style was a defining aspect in the sound of both Joy Division and New Order-two of the most iconic bands-and countless bassists have been influenced by his innovative approach.
The limited edition Peter Hook Signature BB is based on the BB734A bass he plays on tour with Peter Hook & The Light, incorporating influences from his favorite BB1200S bass, which he calls “the perfect guitar.”
Key Features:
Incorporates elements of the BB1200S and BB734A basses
Reversed VSP7n Split Single Pickup
Active preamp with 3-band EQ and active/passive switch
3-piece alder/maple/alder body
Red finish inspired by Peter Hook’s favorite BB1200S

[@iwillnevergetone5]

i agree 100%

[@randalclarke5487]

We love your bass style Peter! You made the band sound unique, along with Ian's voice. Keep rocking bro!

[@briancee1737]

Holy shit, I've been waiting on this release. To say I'm interested is an understatement.

[@devinthierault]

There's only 14 so far though:(. I have the six string in my pfp

[@briancee1737]

@@devinthierault Bummer, I know. Maybe they'll decide to release a bigger batch after these 14.

[@devinthierault]

@@briancee1737 Yeah. If you look the Aria cliff burton bass they go for between 6 and 10 thousand dollars sometimes

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Loyalty..love it..i still have my 1980-1981 Yamaha shb -400 guitar..love it.. still original..still plays great..

[@odw_99]

Absolute beast of a bass player- love his stories, could listen to him for hours😂

[@imyugioh]

I bought my bb234 because of Peter, i'm loving it so much. Hopefully i can upgrade to a bb1200s later on

[@helloitsnicko]

This bass is just wicked - congratulations to Hooky for configuring such a beast of an instrument. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one before it was released. There's a full demo and review on my channel if you fancy it! Cheers. ✨

[@streamerlx4927]

Yeah, just watched it yesterday. One of the best sounding bass i've ever heard!

[@YamahaGuitarsOfficial]

Just checked it out, great video! 👍

[@helloitsnicko]

@@streamerlx4927 Yea it's pretty damn tasty!

[@helloitsnicko]

@@YamahaGuitarsOfficial Thanks so much for popping over for a look!

[@soepil]

Yes! Got one!! It's fantastic. Wide range of sounds. Thank you, Yamaha and Peter Hook.

[@adrianch2527]

His music brings joy in new orders from Munich to Monaco. Salute the bass man n Yamaha. Cheers!

[@jameswhite7997]

A totally unique sound and style - not an easy thing. Also, 100% added to sound of both bands. Genius bassist.

[@Vanadeo]

I just bought a beat up BB414 And I absolutely love it ..

[@MichaelD8393]

1:41 Oh it is, Peter. My bandmates & I hung out in our local shop in school, and plenty of kids still hang out there to this day too.

[@EdwoodCA]

What a beautiful color, and a clean design [to me]. I'd much rather have this than his new Eastwood Hooky Bass VI, and I'm on a Bass VI kick a the moment.

[@dirkpehrke9909]

The intro and the outro - dreams never end - is not one of his yamahas, it is his shergold 6 string bass. just saying :-)

[@PanHoover]

Bought a BBPH the day after it was announced. Sold my other basses. It’s just too good. If I will need another instrument I’ll buy another BBPH. It’s that simple. It’s all there and I still got goosebumps when I just look at it.

[@YamahaGuitarsOfficial]

Great to hear you're loving your BBPH!

[@yuliadiwianto3731]

Very nice design! Do Yamaha still build this instriment? I can not find in their website.

[@rattmann3170]

Nice video Hooky! I've got a BB1024X. It's got tone for days but is heavy as a bloody grand piano. Maybe I should get one of these newer models if they're making them lighter.

[@dionisio7719]

The Legend arrived from Destiny... Thank's to exist. PS: I play a bb bass !;

[@eancurtis9333]

Awesome!!!!!

[@vancevoltron1664]

He’s the man

[@irvan36mm]

Yamaha needs to go back to flipping the pickups around on all of their BB basses, like they did with Peter’s bass. The sound of the pickups was what set the BB basses from all of the others. Very distinct sounding.

[@webpunk808]

this better be mass produced af, hope it wont be impossible to get one of those in brazil

[@Mr.Monster1313]

One of the reasons i became a bass player..was peter...how much is his bass cost ? Looks awesome .

[@randalclarke5487]

Lol freaking love Hooky🙂

The UK currency is, and was, Pound Sterling, not the dollar ;-)

[@Meddled]

That bit was cringy. "Oops spend so much time in the US, I do".

[@YonHASH]

Where can you actually order one? I've looked at Yamaha homepage and there is no option to order it...

They break the bad news at 3:55 No neck through? Forget it.

[@gazfunk]

I’ve never heard of a BB600. Does he mean the BB800?

[@robertwatson5104]

How much?

[@YonHASH]

Yessssssss! Shut up and take my money!
