Peter Hook has been known to play Yamaha BB basses. Before this signature bass, he was playing the BB1200S for many years with Joy Division or with his own band, Peter Hook and the Light.
The color of this bass was inspired by his other basses, most notably his BB1200S. It has a red gloss polyurethane finish on a three-piece Alder-Maple-Alder body.
The neck is constructed with a 6 bolt miter neck joint and has 21 frets. Furthermore, a little extra flair of this bass is Peter Hook’s signature on the back of the headstock.
The electronics of this bass are pretty simple. One volume knob and an active 3 band EQ. It also boasts an active/passive switch if you want to bypass the active preamp. The pickup is a reversed VSP7 split single pickup which gives you a more unique P-Bass sound.
