If it ends up like that - vol/tone/B/M/T - reverse P I’m interested.

If it’s that odd 1 big control with 3 eq/mismatched hardwear I’m out.

Lol, it's only one control away from looking like the original 1200s...

Anyway, my 734a is going up for sale.

Cool stuff. Golden bridge. Nice combination of gold/red/black. It lacks a knob (in comparison to the other photos). Does it have a stacked volume/tone pot?

I pretty sure the bridge wasn't gold, probably the lights reflecting off the metal work.  

I'd say it's using the standard knob set up from the 734a less the pot for the bridge pick up. The passive tone control is the same knob as the active treble when in passive mode....

An active 3 band EQ solo P bass with a reverse P set up and 21 frets. Interesting!

Hello Yamaha BB fans,

Just a quick question: Does anyone have any insight info on the possible Peter Hook Yamaha signature bass (maybe a remake of the BB 1200S)? Just came to my mind after watching him DJing at the Hacienda House Party (Livestream) two days ago.

Cheers!

 

The release has been put back until later this year.  Jack Bates spoke about it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sure the amp/cab are fine, but I found his technique and musical chops more interesting!

And the bass. Looks like a Streamer, but what's with the rout under the tailpiece?

It's a Warwick Streamer Stu Hamm Custom Shop. One was for sale on here recently.  

The amps interesting, nice and simple, I don't get the cab though. Isn't that the opposite of what Mark Bass do? Compact and light weight. It's a big bulky thing. 

Interesting, one of my first bass inspirations, I still have my original Duran Duran cassette from 1981 which was on constant rotation in my 3D Superwoofer through the 80s.. didn't realise he was Australian though. Lol.

Well it arrived today just after lunch. 

Only been able to have a five minute play with it so far but it sounds amazing! Pleasantly surprised by how loud it is too - through just my little Mini 48 cab my wife was shouting at me before I managed to get it to break up with my precision.

I think, with a bit of PA support, there's a good chance it'll be plenty loud enough for onstage at most of the smaller venues we play at. Couldn't be happier! 

Cool. Who made the sleeve for the ABM? It's just what I need for my Mesa M9. 

Siousxie And The Banshees - JU JU 

Brilliant album, probably my favourite and definitely the one I keep coming back to, so I thought why not, it'll be fun and it is.

The name is odd, they've been using that for several years for one of their fullblown metal guitars and this bass is something entirely different. They have absolutely nothing in common. 

I'm not a big fan of the headstock either, or the pickguard design. I'd rather get a Reverend Wattplower.

I would think he Wattplower will be double the price but it looks fantastic in green and has very useful features.  

Surprised this didn't get a mention in these pages. Eastwood have gone ahead and offered a replica of Peter Hooks Shergold Marathon 6. The prototype has been through it's paces with Hooky during his last tour and it's now being offered for sale.  I haven't put a deposit down yet but I am very tempted.

Forgot to say... I was watching a Hooky & Jack Bates live Q&A last week and the question regarding his new signature bass was asked several times. Jack said it was supposed to be released now ish but had to be put back due to the current pandemic.  Soooooo.... new Yamaha Hooky  bass (BB1200S) later in the year.  Excellent! 

Bargain!

Nice!

That's lovely! Good luck. 

Head of Music's face when he said the drum teacher had buggered off and won't be back, you're  playing bass guitar now. 

Wow, that's awesome! 

That is lovely.  Good luck with the sale.  

Bauhaus -The Sky's Gone Out

The more I listen to this album the better it gets, wonderful.  

O.Children

I'll drop this custom BB here...

Very nice. 

Wow. That looks extreme, but as the previous owner of one I can understand why. Wonderful sounding head... now turn the master up, I want to know what happens.

How heavy is it? It looks like a boat anchor to me.

Lol, the 1st fret in lay is a red herring.

I think it looks great; colour, shape, everything. I bet it's tough as old boots.
