Yamaha Peter Hook Signature Bass

[LucBass]

Thanks!
I just clean everything with a microfiber cloth. Maybe you can try some car polish. Be careful with the plastic though.

Cat likes them too!

Finally!View attachment 4121248Took 4 weeks to get here from Canada.

I assume you bought the one on reverb from canada. Did you get any grief from customs? Mine seems to be held there right now (from Italy).

Yes I did. No problems with customs.

Very nice pair. Which one do you like best?

Do not know yet. This is my first 6 string bass, so just getting used to it. The Hooky looks very good, better then the pictures.
But BBPH still looks the best. Loving it.

Understandable, I'm still getting used to mine a month later, haven't really got the hang of it yet. I agree that the Hooky looks a lot better in person than in the online photos. The pictures on Eastwood's site don't really do it justice.

I just ask because I personally prefer my Yamahas to the Eastwood and was curious how others felt.

Very nice pair
Will have to add an Eastwood to my BBPH at some point, but at that price point it ain't going to be any time soon! Will have to make do with my Squier VM Bass VI for the moment...but still happy with it's tone!

Was not planning to buy the Eastwood just after I bought the BBPH, but got it at a very good price. End of year sale.

Nope, myrareguitars.

They have an Eastwood Hooky LH for $999 right now actually.

 

[LucBass]

Got mine even cheaper;-)

I wish I had paid $999. I don't have any buyer's remorse at all, love mine, but that $1299 did hit hard.

Congratulations! You have quite the paid. I love the Eastwood Hooky. It does take a little time to get used to it, if you're a longtime bass player. Sound great and absolutely nails those early 6-string Joy Division and New Order bass tones. I certainly love mine. Incidentally, Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream (he also played in The Jesus and Mary Chain) was in a band called The Wake, who were also on Factory Records. Anyway, he also played a Shergold Marathon 6 like Hooky's.
