DISC Yamaha Peter Hook Signature Bass Overview
It's all about the hook - Peter Hook to be exact. The Yamaha Peter Hook Bass is a modern masterpiece, showcasing a unique aesthetic combined with out-of-this-world tone. After all, Hook is known for his innovative high register playing style, so his signature bass delivers crisp articulation in every note - not just the lower ones. This is delivered by a reversed VSP7n Split Single pickup, which contains all the dynamism you need to create your perfect tone.
There's also an active preamp for sonic moulding, along with an active/passive switch for changing between each circuit. Shape your sound to perfection using the three-band EQ, and enjoy clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. Whether you're soloing at the higher frets or laying down a solid, rock-driven rhythm, you'll love the way this bass responds to your playing. And the striking red finish is inspired by Hook's favourite BB1200S bass - it's guaranteed to turn heads.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Peter Hook phenomenon
A true legend of the game. Peter Hook has had a huge impact on the music scene. Having been the bassist of both Joy Division and New Order, two of rock's most iconic bands, his experience is matched only by his knack for being an innovator - he is known for his high register bass riffs. He has used Yamaha basses throughout his career, favouring their strong, sharp tone and rock-solid construction. As such, his signature embodies all the best elements of his favourite basses - the BB1200S and the BB734A. It'll rock your world.
Viperous VSP7n pickup
Proving that one is all you need. The VSP7n Split single coil pickup delivers an array of razor-sharp tones which will suit any genre. From chiming cleans to fuzzy, overdriven madness, you'll be able to craft your tone with precision. It's super punchy, and will cut through the mix with ease. You can also switch between the active and passive circuitry using the dedicated toggle, whilst a three-band EQ section gives you even more control over your bass, mids, and treble. It's dynamism defined, and will help you create outstanding music - both in the studio and onstage.
Pristine playability
Power to your playing. Not only does it sound good, but the Peter Hook Bass also feels incredibly nice to play. It has a maple/mahogany neck, which creates a nicely balanced resonance with warmth and punch in equal measure - and facilitates swift manoeuvrability. The satin urethane finish also facilitates excellent manoeuvrability between each fret for a sublime performance. Smooth and responsive - the rosewood fretboard also offers a great deal of quality, helping provide a comfortable, smooth surface for your fingers to sail across. As such, this bass will cater to all playing styles.
Take it out on the road
Built like a tank. Don't let the sleek, luscious aesthetic fool you - this bass is no pushover. Like all Yamaha basses, it features a rock-solid design, with durable alder and maple tonewoods making up the body. The Vintage Plus bridge helps to keep all your strings singing in tune, whilst lightweight open gear tuners ensure they are locked in and easy to adjust. All these features ensure that this bass is ready to be taken out on the road and used night after night.
