First demo and review of Hooky's signature bass. Sounds all good to me. Not so sure about the finish though. Looks like a translucent finish, which can be great, but I am not sure alder is the right wood for that kind of finish. I guess one would have to shop around to find a nice looking one. For example, the ones shown in the PMT video and the review video below did not look great in my opinion. I guess I am just spoiled by my Spector basses 😉

Thank you 😀 Cool stuff. Here are the links: Interview (1.5 hrs long!) Signature bass:

The day has finally come. Just saw this on Twitter: "Joy Division and New Order changed music, and co-founder and bassist Peter Hook changed bass playing. @YamahaGuitars are proud to celebrate his one-of-a-kind melodic style with the new Peter Hook Signature BB." Earlier, Peter tweeted: "I will then be going live on Instagram at 6pm for a chat with my son @Jack_Bass_ to discuss - join us then if you like, here: http://instagram.com/jackbates_music " I'll be there 😎

The end is nigh 👿

Yes, the third one is a bit more difficult to get into. However, it still does have some great songs such as "We are", "Aeons", "Sky Machine", "Alpha Omega" and "Eidolon". I especially like this version of "We are" (starts at 1:12):

Sure, my fav is Sound Awake. Killer album. You can check it out here:

Yes, really hope so. The tour is called "The Regeneration Tour". Let's hope that this is the name of the new album. 8 years (if released in 2021) is a very long time, but, hey it took Tool 13 years, so maybe we all should just be a bit more patient 😎

Great news and another good reason for a Covid vaccine to be released soon. One of my favourite bands, Karnivool, is touring the UK in September.

Last time I went to the o2 Forum KT, back in June last year, I saw STP. Happy days 😎 Yes, that's why the Darkglass pedal is called Alpha Omega (Ultra) 🙂

Spector fans, are you looking for a new Spector? Andertons has some good BF deals. Check them out here: https://www.andertons.co.uk/black-friday-bass?#facet:30744573456166766758311210199116111114&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&

Bought a ticket for their show in London on Sep 30, 2021. Hope an effective vaccine will be available by then. Killer band 😀

Andertons also has some very good deals, including this one they previously offered for the amazing discount of 6 quid. Maybe someone at Andertons is checking out BC? 😎

I wish my Fridays would start on Thursdays 😎

I love bargains. Here is another one. Be very, very quick, they only have one in stock 😎

Interesting YT livechat with Rudy Sarzo, Fishman's Rob Ketch and Spector's John Stippell. Showcases Rudy's new signature bass that happened by accident (30:33 onwards), the first US Spector with FF pickups (33:43), the Euro LT with FF (34:43), some info about the new NS Pulse (50:00), and the aim to grow the Spector workshop in upstate NY.

Yeah, saw that. Good that they are all 5 string, so I am (or better my bank account is ;- ) safe 😎

Here's a Bass Whisperer review. Sounds good to me.

GG has some cool BF deals, including this one: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191106350869008--gl-usa-fallout-bass-miami-blue-with-black-racing-stripe £999 for a US G&L bass sounds like a great deal to me. The bass whisperer did a good review here:

Yep 👍

Pretty good, only missed out one 😎

$7,000.00 https://shop.music-man.com/cliff-williams-stingray-bass.html Hope the next icon series entries will be Louis Johnson, Bernard Edwards and Timmy C 😀
