You played every kind of style that is NOT like Peter Hook at all, hahaha... it... works.

Thanks for the intelligent honest no bs review. Unlike most you are actually a proper bass player pro standard.

I love Yamaha basses, they never disappointed me. Great tone and a great review as always!

Just bought myself a BB734a because of Peter Hook and now Yamaha release my dream bass ! Great review btw ! :)

I have also 734a its better than BBPH model, has two pickups and all in all its just a better value and cheaper than BBPH and more versatile.

Glad you got to check it out, Nick. And not too bad to get paid, as well! Sounds great, looks great.

Excellent review and showing that this is a really versatile bass even though it is associated with a player with a very unique style. Yamaha basses are excellent and have their own special sauce when it comes to tone. I always record with a bb1025x and it always fits

Nice and simple. Great tone. Me likes !!!

Yeah, I really really liked it 💥

Had a bb1200s back in the day. Thing was a tank. Loved the sound, sustain, preamp, cause it gave a massive boost, but most of all, I loved it cause of the baseball bat neck. That thing wss fat, and solid. I abused it, and it always stayed in tune.

Great review. You mentioned stainless steel frets, is that correct? Couldn't find them in Yamaha's specs. Thanks!

After some googling, I can't find out for definite either! But they certainly looked like stainless steel to me...

Hey Jonáš, basically I'm very lucky. A rep at Yamaha who I'm friends with had one (the only one in the country at the time I think) and got in touch with me. He offered me the exclusive chance to try it out for a few days and make a video... how could I say no?

What sonic difference does the reverse P create?

@helloitsnicko

3 жыл бұрын

I find it makes the lower strings less boomy, and adds a little more low end to the higher strings. It sounds more balanced tone wise to me than a right-way-up P style pickup.

@@helloitsnicko Another quick question, Nick. Now that you've reviewed the BB2024, BBP34, and BBPH, if you could afford only one and you were looking for the best overall value for small-group jazz and rock/Roots/blues, which one would you buy? Thanks.

@helloitsnicko

3 жыл бұрын

Great question. Money no object? I would say, and this is exclusively only because you said the J word, the BBP34 would be the best option for that. It's got a little more variety in tones simply because it has the JB style pickup at the bridge; if you do any soloing etc. However in any non-jazz situation, I would actually probably pick the BBPH because it's like a P bass (which works in most contexts), but IMO easier to fit into a mix cos of the benefits of the upside-down pickup previously mentioned!

Who is stocking it in the UK Nick? Is it Indonesian or Japnese made?

Why would you demo a Peter Hook bass and not use a pick? Or play a high register? Or at least Love Will Tear Us Apart?!

@helloitsnicko

3 жыл бұрын

Well, considering I used a pick in two clips in this video, I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole thing before posting your comment... I also say that signature basses often get pigeon-holed so I didn't really just want to play in Peter's style, cos the bass is capable of more than that. I suppose I could've done a high-register clip though, I'll give you that. And as for not playing Love Will Tear Us Apart, I didn't fancy getting a copyright strike and demonetised. 👍🏻
