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.

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...

Moral of the story: don't compare yourself with other. Music is about creativity above tecnique

I could listen to Hookie talk all day.

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.

One of the most individual bassists of all time. No one before quite like Hooky. But many initiators since.

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.

It’s great to hear his stories from the early days and how it went down. The stories he could tell. I could listen to him for days. He is a treasure

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

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! 😃

Huh, the bass I have. Never knew.

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!!!😂

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.

I always loved Peter”s tone in Joy division and New Order and clearly the Yamaha BB”s played a big part. I am in the market for an old BB5000 which are very hard to track down these days. Hey Yamaha, how about a reissue of the series!? 😉🎶🎸

A genuis !!!

I love my Yamaha BB734

Nice my all-time favorite would be Rickenb.... Thunderbird or teddy Lee jazz

If only the rest of the world could be humble, full of gratitude as Peter Hook...currently run by Techn0-narcisisst's who are hell bent on...that's the problem, they don't even know. But if only a pause to give thanks to how we got here maybe a glimmer of hope can arise and we begin to ask...where the FUCK are we going and at WHO's cost? Thx Peter and the Guy's n Gal from the one True Faith in a New world Order

What he is playing isn't hard, isn't technical. But it has such melody.

When are you and Pottsy going to put out a new Monaco album? And why not reissue that hard to find second one?

My Bass player king 😎💪🏻 the fucking Best !

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?

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.

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.

Hard to have a relationship with any Yammy revstar or BB bass, for quite some time. All the more difficult, when they are withholding stock, prior to their scheduled price rise in June 2023. I've had an order for a Revstar RSS02T SSB placed since October 2022, and I live in the same country the Element & the Stardard serie are manufactured : Indonesia . Good luck if u can get one, bass or 6 string

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.
