Peter Hook | Relationship with Yamaha BB

"I'd never been taught what a Bass guitar was supposed to do so I wanted the Bass guitar to do what I wanted it to do, not what everybody else said."
Peter Hook and the Yamaha BB together have created a sound that has reverberated speakers for close to 40 years. Starting with the BB600 with which the beautiful, cult anthem 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' was written on, to his trusty BB1200s which featured on every record he's played a 4 string bass on, to his current customized BBP34, we're incredibly proud that Hook believes that the BB series helped to "define his sound".
In this video we explore the roots of Hooky as a musician and the series of events that brought together a working class lad from Salford, UK with an active Japanese bass that together recorded some of the most instantly recognizable bass lines of all time.

I've been playing bass 11 years and this guy is probably the main reason why. I'd sit there for hours in my room with my first cheap rubbish bass and a Danelectro chorus pedal, teaching myself by playing along to Substance, Movement, Closer...massive respect to this man.

@samuelward1148 4 жыл бұрын

He is the reason I play bass as well... I'D NEVER heard a bass song like how he made it sound... I immediately went out and bought a bass the next day... Taught myself the line to Disorder in 3 hours... Just wow... I owe everything to Hooky's AMAZING, original baselines... Just a masterclass for doing what you want, not what other people want you to do...

@ciaranocraobhach 2 жыл бұрын

I love how Hooky is so unpretentious about his talent and being a driving force behind two of the most iconic bands of the 1970s and 1980s. A classic sound even if it's not "what the bass is supposed to do". I mean, Jaco took the instrument in directions it was never meant to go as well, and is often imitated but nobody can match him as the bond to his instrument was deeply personal. Hooky's melodies, swing and two string pedal tones stand out in the landscape of post-punk, and he is in his own way, a pioneer with a style that is idiosyncratic as the man behind the bass.

@briswhittaker8509 4 жыл бұрын

I actually took this bass home one christmas and was playing the Perfect Kiss on it before going for a night out with Hooky(I was in Revenge at the time)it suddenly dawned on me half way through playing that this was the very bass that had recorded that song, a moment not many people will get.

I started playing bass kind of like hooky, so I'm originally a drummer and so is my little brother. My little brother started playing in a punk band and their basis quit so they had all the equipment already and I told them hey if you show me how to play it out play bass and that's how it started I played simple straight Poppy Punk Tunes and still to this day that's how I play I couldn't play Fancy to save somebody's life but I sure like to make my simple bass lines as poppy as I can, today I played in a garage band with my son who's my guitarist and my little brother on drums and it's the best thing ever! And just Saturday we were at a guitar shop and my son was playing the music man Stingray and he was playing love will tear us apart and it sounded so good through that bass and through the base rig he was playing it through

Bought a completely mint BB1200 on eBay in 2010 for 350 quid. Identical to the one on the Love Will Tear Us Apart video. Even had the clear Perspex guard fitted. Things got tight and I had to sell it. Tone, quality, finish and craftsmanship were through the roof. Wish I still had that one. Everyone has a guitar or two they wish they hadn’t sold. The BB1200 and a 1999 Martin D18 GE in tobacco sunburst are my two most missed. Note to self: DON’T GET SKINT AGAIN!!!😂

@paulreese3071 3 жыл бұрын

Even with the electronic nature of the early ‘80’s British bands, Peter Hook’s bass gave it the bridge between “guitar” and electronic pop/rock. Also loved Macca’s use of the BB series in the late ‘70’s - early ‘80’s! Not sure if he recorded Goodnight Tonight with The Ricky or BB, but that was an epic bassline! 😃

Hook’s first 1200 from Manny’s is modified to have the jazz pickup. Stock 1200 was only the reverse p pick up. The two pick up model is the 2000 that Andy Rourke used. Plus you can see that the jazz pick up is way closer to the bridge than it was on the stock 2000.

Love will tear us apart video shows a BB1200 with the original scratch plate installed (the one that was stolen?). New order concert footage up to dec 1983 and the confusion video shows a BB1200 without the scratch plate (the one they bought in NY? Did they get the gear back?). None of the appearances show that added bridge pickup. BB1200 only came with the single reverse P pickup. Earliest footage I’ve found of peter hook playing the BB1200S was July 1984 in Barcelona. Yamaha, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the BB1200S come out in 1982?

@tupacserbia813 5 жыл бұрын

His original BB1200 was stolen as you suggest and never returned. He played a second 1200 until he purchased the 1200S in late '83 or early '84. Never played a BB600 and he always confuses the 1200 and 1200S in interviews.

@jmj321 5 жыл бұрын

The JD one might have been a BB-VI (BB6), which might explain why he calls it a BB600.

@thesquarebee6641 4 жыл бұрын

He used a BB1200 on Movement. The sound is much more passive than their next albums. Mists of time I think causes the confusion (no pun intended). The 1200S was not released until 1984, but Movement was released in 1981. Anyway Hooky is an amazing player whatever he plays on.

HOOKY! Been lining your pockets since 1983, and if not...the 80's were NOT my fault! As such....please please please...let me ask you this fundamental question: When you first started out with Joy Division...was it but for the fact that "...you sincerely wanted to sound different than the rest" or was it simply because you SIMPLY DID NOT KNOW how to play bass any better? Because...with ALL DUE RESPECT...I think from one musician to another...your bass lines were pretty....you know. (A very punk question, testing your own origins....lol) LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY

Not to be anal, but BB 600???? Never heard of that before. Funny that Hook gets his own bass wrong in a Yamaha video. He played a passive BB1000s in late Joy Division (LWTUA video) and later he used an active one (BB1200s). I guess after the New Order gear was stolen during their first US tour.
