Peter Hook | Relationship with Yamaha BB
Вставка

- "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 could listen to Hookie talk all day.
One of the most individual bassists of all time. No one before quite like Hooky. But many initiators since.
the man is a natural.....his casual strum sounds amazing
Yamaha really do built quality instruments 🎸
They had me at John McGeoch.
There's never been a more defining sound than Hooks bass ! The shop he mentions , A1 music on oxford road in Manchester was paradise. Once bumped into Bernard sumner checking out synths in there.
Still there?
@@clintwilson6380 Yeah Bernard is still stood there in A1, checking out the Bontempi synths.
Best compliments any brand would wish they get.
+40years same bass. That's dedication.
Well, yes and no. He's also saying they haven't managed to improve it in 40 years, and he only plays a model they no longer make.
@@jrd33 No and now Yamaha made signature model for him. So you're wrong.
@@kipponi Why, yes I am!
@@jrd33 okay but he is playing it +40years? I dont see any wrong here. Only envy.
So good! bought a BB734a because of Hooky.
What a lovely guy
Ryanhand Thanks.
I definitely agree
peter hook...beautifully simple bass exponent
~33 years ago ... I bought and was jamming to movement...
I have never known about his Yamaha.
Really sounds good to me!!!
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!? 😉🎶🎸
What he is playing isn't hard, isn't technical. But it has such melody.
I love my Yamaha BB734
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
My Bass player king 😎💪🏻 the fucking Best !
Great stuff, shame about the off brand version of Atmosphere at the end.. was that U2?
...It’s his own band...
@@pizzapanda8527 Light Asylum?
its funny cause i always thought he played a rick , but when i played JD riffs on my bb they sounded bang on.... noooow we knooow
He played a Hondo Ric copy on the first album I believe and got the BB for Closer and all the New Order stuff.
Does he mean BB 1200? Also what’s with the extra pick up on that BB 1200?
My 1200 doesn't have the bridge pick-up. I'm confused.
Looks like a rare variant of a BB1200.
what modulation is he playing through?
Ehx chorus
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.
I always loved how Hook's name actually became his style.
Good1!
My bass idol.
You could not have chosen a better one.
so is mine
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...
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.
Whoa
Woah that's amazing
Wow, what a story I read after 4 years.
Moral of the story: don't compare yourself with other. Music is about creativity above tecnique
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
Pretty sure that Andy Rourke of the Smiths used a Yamaha BB2000 for studio recording. There's a picture of him holding it inside Hatful of Hollow gatefold sleeve I think.
That Andy rourke exact bass was sold on eBay in the winter of 2004
Dude I’d love to see Hooky and Rourke do a collab
@@hookyhook6006 they did haha
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebass
@@Aussieduderivs1 Thank you, you have made my day.
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 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.
I've always been told I'm simple. I didn't know it meant I'm better.
Man what a cool run down , and what a brilliant player of the bass
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.
The JD one might have been a BB-VI (BB6), which might explain why he calls it a BB600.
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.
Malcolm Tucker i have a 1982 bb1200s
right.....out to get a yamaha bass then
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 bought my first octapad from A1 after borrowing one of new orders for 9 months! A yamaha 9000 and an SG is still on the bucket list
Nice my all-time favorite would be Rickenb.... Thunderbird or teddy Lee jazz
amplified bass string rattle..
yes or no, good or bad..?????
Age of Consent
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! 😃
Paul Reese Yamaha BB was in the video.
Wow! What a testament to that guitar 👌🏼
0:06 Peter Hook in his happy place.
Beautifull Is a Simplicity..

I was fourteen in 1991, When i listened for a First Time Trasmission... And love for bass and Joy division started in evolution plan...
When are you and Pottsy going to put out a new Monaco album? And why not reissue that hard to find second one?

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
A genuis !!!
What a fantastic interview... I know it's an advert but still...That was an incredible bit of music history..
then it is a best advert ever
I really hope that Hooky and Justin Chancellor from TOOL will do an interview together
Thank's for ALL mr Hook..

Where's this film ? Looks like a REAL lab
Perfection.
Bin liner...the rest is history.
Hooky and mark king the best

Mehdi J Barbie Girl by Aqua.
@@NeptuneReturnz thanks mate
found it a while ago
its darude sandstorm
Great band
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
Andrew Cassey I am the greatest bass player even in the history of mankind. Hooky.
@@NeptuneReturnz LOL. Great stuff, Neptune! LOL LOL LOL
No mention of his Shergold Marathon 6 string bass?
this video is about yamaha ... and produced by yamaha ... and upload by yamaha ... maybe that's why ;)
The Shergold Marathon is awesome ... back in the days I was (and still be) a big fan of the cure and new order, I turn a Jazzmaster into a 6-String Bass becourse there was no reissue of good old 6-String and I really wanted one. Still works, sounds not that bad ;)
@@rallewarmbier7607 Thankfully a Hooky six string signature is coming out in March
what's a bb600?
Bass using a pick 🤔 Don't let @davie504 find out
please shut up oh my god
