Feeler: Yamaha BB1200 MIJ as played by Peter Hook

Sign in to disble this ad
I am not sure I can bring myself to do it, but I was thinking of parting ways with my Yamaha BB1200. This is essentially a Yamaha P Bass but with a neck through body design and reverse configuration P pickup. Made in Japan.

These don't come up much. Not sure if that is because they are rare or because folks never let theirs go. Maybe both? Hooky played this bass on one of the Joy Division records so if there are any fans looking to capture that sound, here it is!

Mine is in a natural finish, all original, and in amazing condition save for a couple of minor scratches on the back and one or two tiny compression dings that are well photographed. Still has what appears to be the plastic film on the electronics cover!

This would come in a case that is 100% structurally sound, but replete with mojo and various stickers.

I was thinking $625 shipped in the hard case to the CONUS.

Teaser pics below If there is any interest please PM me.

Thanks.

Mine is the sunburst, I bought it used in 1982 in Austin when I was at UT, and I played it earlier today. It still sounds fantastic. The build quality of these basses is amazing. Your's is in much better shape than mine, it looks great.

That thing is freaking sweet bump. My BB800 is a P slayer and I'm sure it's older brother is the same.
