Bassman Sam Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Thanks for sharing. I've saved it for later. I'll watch it when the missus catches up with her Corrie and Emmerdale backlog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Watched this - nice to see the place I got my first proper bass (when it was sound control) being the setting. Funily enough, a red bb... that hooky sig bass looks great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hooky is always good value for money in interviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it (just out of nostalgia) butĀ the neck and truss rod are toasted. I mentioned it in the Yamaha BB mega-thread as well: I think it sounds great (judging from the videos I have watched so far) but I am not sure alder is the right choice for a translucent finish. It will need quite some shopping around to find a nice looking one. The one below shows the three pieces and how they don't match up nicely. I know, I know,Ā I am a bit picky when it comes to these thingsĀ š Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Those joins are nasty, and not what you want to see on a Ā£1k instrument. At least Eastwood did a solid finish on their 6-string signature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 They might not be joins, they might be subtle 'go faster' racing stripes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I've only got about 10 mins left to watch of the 'interview'. I like Peter Hook, could listen to him talk for ages. That said I don't like Joy Division, New Order, his style of playing is a bit meh for me as is the signature bass...still thoroughly enjoyed the video though š 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just spoke to a mate who helped arrange the PH video (he works for PMT). They're not particularly limited, as touted in the BB thread. The hand signed ones are all gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 To be fair, the bodies are Alder and Maple, so the seams would be more apparent. Still a bit oddĀ to have that under a translucent finish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 A bit long to watch in one sitting, but a good watch nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hooky is so engaging and affable that it didn't seem like 1 and a half hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise it was that long, for the reasons you state.Ā As much as I love Hooky, JD and early NO I couldn't help but think, come on Hooky, you know more than Love Will Tear Us Apart, 24 Hours and Age of Consent.Ā Still enjoyed it though š.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Some more info about the BBPH. The finish is called "fired red". Really like the sound but still don't like the look of it (you can see what I meant at e.g. 1:13). Such a shame. I had been looking forward to its release for ages and then I just don't like it. Aarrggh. Not my week, lost out on a stunning looking Stingray and then the "fired red" finish downer. Anyway, it is what it is. I am sure they will sell them all.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 @Eldon Tyrell Thats a brilliant video. Love Dave - heās such a nice bloke. I still have a Yamaha book he gave me in about 2009/10. He does a great hooky impression, probably better than hooky himself š anyhow, that video hasnāt helped. Iām drinking wine...and my credit report came in today and itās up...again.
