Yamaha BBPH Peter Hook bass Limited Edition - Price drop to £920 - *SOLD* £980 DROITWICH

[boristhespider7]

Yamaha BBPH Peter Hook bass
This is a limited edition bass which is now discontinued by Yamaha. From what I've read online there were only about 352 basses made (I'm not sure if this is worldwide or UK only - but the majority were just for the UK market)
Great condition, includes original gig bag, case candy and overlay for control panel which comes with the new bass.

I brought this new during the Covid lockdown.
Looking closely this has 1 very small dent next to the controls, which is hard to see unless you are looking very close to the body. You can see this in one of the photos next to a 1p penny for size. But it is not noticeable at first sight. It's only a couple of mm and has not gone through the body finish.
Plastic is still on the control panel plate.
Strings have been recently changed, but i'll throw the original strings in as well.
You are very welcome to come and try the bass out. I also have a Clone theory pedal (not for sale) all set up if you're after that Hooky tone!
I'm also open to a Zoom/Whatsapp/Teams video call if that would be helpful to you.
Only selling as I now have more basses than i'll use and the Joy Division / New order project I got this for is at a stand still, so this isn't getting used.

Afraid i'm only looking at cash on collection as there are far too many scams around on paypal and bank transfers, plus i don't trust couriers (most of whom don't fully insure instruments).

I may be able to travel to a mutual location and my band (Sounds of Seattle) travels around England and Welsh borders a fair amount so that's another possibility.

Review/demo of this deeeply tempting bass. 

 

 

If my knackered left shoulder wasn't demanding only ultralight basses, I'd be trying to buy this right this second. Ahhhhh.

Never gave it much thought about the sliders on my ABM600 

 

Taking the roqsolid cover off always seems to turn the rotary knobs a bit though !

Good point, if anyone wants the weight, let me know and i'll try and get the scales out

[ikay]

Yes please, can you dig out the scales and add the weight?

[boristhespider7]

I've only got a small kitchen scales, so can't say they are 100% accurate, but they weigh it in as

3876g  or 8.545117lbs or 8lbs 8oz

 

 

 

[ikay]

Thanks for the weight.

Still for sale or gone? Seriously tempted by this. Is the neck radius quite flat? My preferred type of neck

Still for sale at the mo.

Wouldn't really class it as super flat. It's similar to a Fender P radius, but a smidgen flatter (10" compared to 9.5" on Fender P)

If you decide to post, I could be interested.

Sorry, that's not an option for the foreseeable future and it's collection only i'm afraid.
