Due to finally getting around to commissioning a build I need to move on my two Yamaha BB245s. It's nerve wracking, but here they are if anyone is interested... Yamaha BB425 x2 - Basses For Sale - Basschat Great basses, but I'd get a new set of scales. I cannot believe that they weigh only 3.25kg...

Personally I find them extremely comfortable (I find narrow Ibanez SR necks too narrow and Yamaha TRBX necks too shallow). The neck was the selling point when I bought my first. I had a BB424 and the neck on that felt different and not as nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 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 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I like the colour but overall I’d prefer the black 734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJWW Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think this is a fabulous and very desirable instrument indeed. I have grown to love my 734A but i am really blown away by the looks of the Hooky. It is a shame the BB range doesn't offer this particular finish as i think it would go really well. I just cannot justify getting one of these although i reckon it will hold its value very well if i decide to shift it later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 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 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 PMT online have 5 hand signed basses. Personally I like the look of it. I know it’s a limited edition but does anyone know how limited? One site is saying that the USA are only getting 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If they ever do one in Vintage White, I'm buying it. Which is a bit giddy for me, but there you go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Is it a limited edition? I'm not seeing anywhere that it is, apart from Hooky signing 5 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarlscharisma Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The bass sounds good on the Aries song by Gorillaz. But I think I prefer the original 1200s, there's something about the finish I'm not convinced by and it not being a neck-thru. I've had 2 1200S's and stupidly let them go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is only a limited edition in the US. Neither PM nor GuitarGuitar mention anything about it being limited. The price (£899/£999) does not scream "limited edition" to me either. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/201118364031025--yamaha-bb-peter-hook-signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
