Yamaha Peter Hook Signature Bass

[hypercarrots]

Depends on the line. The TRBX300 series has six(!) color options, the 400 and 600 lines have four. It really is only the higher BBs that have just two.

when i said historically i guess i should've said in the 80s and 90s... i don't really know about color options on trbs, rbxs, etc. i was talking about bb basses.

To be fair, that is accurate to the old BBs too. The BB1200, 2000, and 1200S all only have two options. Sunburst and natural for the 1200 and 2000 and burgundy and green for the 1200S. Still though, why offer more for the cheaper basses and less for the high end ones?

I have seen a couple of BB1200s/BB2000's in black. JJ Burnel had one and so did the fella out of Ultravox Bonhams : Ultravox: Chris Cross's Yamaha BB1200 bass guitar,

Unless they did a paint job or it was custom?

As far as I know those are refinish jobs.

Or maybe custom one offs

What are your thoughts overall as someone who owns 3 BB1200Ss, do you feel it's worth the asking price compared to the BB734As?

no. it cost more than 2 BB1200S.

I have a very used BB1200S, albeit it's not in great condition. The red finish is worn off the back of the neck and it was refinished to be clear, someone added a bartolini j pickup but it's removed from the circuit, scratches everywhere.

Do you think it's worth it for the the BBPH?

the one with the detuner?

the one with the detuner?

Yep that's the one. Got the preamp fixed and took the detuner off though.

I recall seeing that one on Reverb, nice grab even in the condition it's in. What ended up being wrong with the preamp, do you know? I've seen a few others online have issues with theirs but they never end up saying what the problem was.

Problem was whoever added the j pickup had no idea what they were doing and didn't wire it correctly. I need to take it to a luthier though because the passive tone knob cuts all volume if I take it below 5.

Here's the wiring diagram for the 1200S if you need it:

 

[Napkins]

I have the wiring diagram for the 1200S, PM me if you need it.

I also have the wiring diagram and I plan to get my luthier to fix it up (I'm not an electronics guy). The offer is much appreciated though!

I went ahead and posted it, maybe someone else is looking for it.

Where did you get yours from? My GC order still says "back ordered," so I assume it's not coming.
