    Calling all the BBPH owners (but for the others, too 😁 )! How do you set the action on these? What's your favourite settings?

    Unsigned? You are talking about a real PH signature, not the one on the rear, right?

    WOW!!!

    Wow!

    Pretty good results after the second hand of ink: However, despite the heavy masking with vinyl tape, I suffered some smearing, very hard to remove: I don’t recommend this!

    I used genuine Fiebing's Leather Dye. I'm going to put a second coat in these days

    Thank you Hooky6... I suspected that going thru-bridge would allow a little less tension on the G string. I'm going to buy a couple of single .060 Rotosounds (someone suggested me they are the same of Elites...) and change stringing in that way. Looking at Hooky's personal bass, seems to me that the G string is not the same set of Elite signature set.

    hello guys, I have an issue with my BBPH that only YOU, fellow BBers, can solve... I bought 3 sets of Peter Hook stainless steel strings from Bass Center (the are just .040-.105 with a .060 for the high G string...). I strung them through body, but broke TWO Gs as I tried to setup the bass (mine came with a nice flat neck but a high action...). Could be an issue with the string length? I noticed that the string retainer stay on the silk but when I see Peter Hook with his own bass I see and unwound G string. Could be this a custom made for the string through body?

    Here we are!! I like it a lot. I found the neck superb, much more than my Rick 4003 from 2017.

    No, this is my first BB! And yes, Santa allowed me to play, even because it is a self-present!

    Santa came yesterday in Italy with a brand-new BBPH! ☺️

    OMG!!!!

    Any news regarding the Peter Hook signature model?
  22. matbard
    What a beauty! Is your dad signature at the fingerboard?
  23. matbard
    Not interested into a bolt-on Hooky bass. Only a NT makes sense, for me. There are excellent active basses with bolt-on design, out there.

    I questioned directly a well-known-British-reseller...

    The Hooky bass will come in autumn. It was planned a big showdown during the Manchester Bass Day in march. Street price would be around GBP 1.500
