It's simply magical to watch a master guitarist play, Desmond. You must just crawl-up into your own mental space and dream about different chords vibrating away..... !!!!
@@DesmondDoom Let me drag my cello to Australia, where we both can have a real "jam session" together. On the other hand, it's probably not the same thing ― I'm pretty sure of it.
Dude, you are like seriously one of my favorite content creators - I never miss a video, and everything you do is clever, fun, and really great musically. The opening medley was super cool, and you managed to make an abbreviated bass review a blast to watch and gave us a ton of information. Loved it, and the bass sounds great!
Yep, it's pretty unique! Clear like a J bridge pickup, punchy like a P, but different to a Stingray. Great for rhythm, lead and textural tones, ESPECIALLY in a Post-Punk setting.
incredibly cool! It's always a pleasure to see your videos, from the covers to the albums you released, of your own, good job, Peter was always a great inspiration to me, I think his playing was what prompted me to buy my first bass. , greetings from Argentina !
Typical, I decide to buy a 34" scale semi-acoustic bass last December and end up with an Aria Tab, then a few months later Eastwood release this beast.
That p-up placement got me nervous (too close to the bridge for my personal preference) but it’s perfect for a Hooky sig. great playing too, really nailed the tone and the bass sounds great.
What’s the song , I know it’s joy division but is this the instrumental version your playing against as the guitar coming through sounds great . Bass sounds quality ! Good job .
Hey Desmond, just wanted to ask a theory question. In your post punk video or in your sisters of mercy video, how do you write an anxious guitar riff? Also can you explain the flat 6 note so I can use it in my riffs?
Flat/Minor 6 is the 6th note in the Natural Minor/Aeolian scale, count up from the root note. Make a riff in a minor key using this note somewhere, it gives a sense of anxiety, try it out.
@@DesmondDoom for sure! I haven't seen one of these in Brazil, so it may take a while to arrive. But for now my goal is the Rickenbacker 4003. Bro, after I tested one of these, my world turned upside down, what a wonderful bass. It's too bad that here it costs at least 30 minimum salaries in my country hahahahah (at least here we have a 1:1 copy of it from the Giannini brand)
Never played one, but I know the originals are very expensive. Maybe look for an old Japanese one, Greco and Tokai made great copies of everything@@lorenzobasscovers
Happy Birthday to Hooky and congrats on the new signature bass!
Huge thanks to Eastwood for letting me take it for a spin.
Thanks for doing such an awesome demo!
@@eastwoodguitarsofficialy'all better be gifting that guitar to our boy I wanna see this in more videos
"I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand....."!! Great cover, using Only bass!! CLASS!!
🖤 Yes please - ty for using a pick
Got a Hooky 6 string about a month ago. Add a chorus pedal, and it’s instant post punk perfection.
Thank you for the video. I had a bummer of a day and this made things just a little bit brighter.
I'm glad m8, cheers

Haha I probably have daydreamed of chords before on a train or something, music nerd life etc

Very cool! Hooky is my favourite bass player of all time.
He's a beast!
Great demo! Thanks Desmond Doom! Ordered mine in black yesterday. Been lusting after this bass since the '80s. PHEW. ;)
Sounds fantastic when played right by some1 who knows what they're doing like this fella.
Damn! Okay… gonna have to buy this one.
Great playing, really made me hear Joy Division in a different way. Wow, impressed
So awesome you were selected to demo these. I’d love to get one
Oh my god they actually did it....I need it and I need it now...
Sounds amazing! Great playing!
Soumds gorgeous!
Awesome man👌🏼🔥
Outstanding! Nice bass too!

Interesting to hear a P pickup in the bridge position, on a semi hollow no less!
Yep, it's pretty unique! Clear like a J bridge pickup, punchy like a P, but different to a Stingray. Great for rhythm, lead and textural tones, ESPECIALLY in a Post-Punk setting.
Just what I needed. cheers
Cool Bass
Reminds me of
Joy Division.
It's really awesome!
That guitar is beautiful.
I want one.
He shreds like a wizard!
!🖤🖤🖤
Absolutely fantastic! My only critique is you don't look bored enough 😂 Love your channel!
Haha cheers, was fun to play this beautiful thing!
Cool T-shirt bro!
I have one just like it... 😉
Haha oh really? Lucky you!
You and the bass sound great
Great demo and playing; really appreciate hearing the tone variations with and without pick too. Noyce.
incredibly cool! It's always a pleasure to see your videos, from the covers to the albums you released, of your own, good job, Peter was always a great inspiration to me, I think his playing was what prompted me to buy my first bass. , greetings from Argentina !
Nice. Great demo and bass.
Sweet.
Thanks for uploading
Quality 👍🏻
Awesome sound and playing!
Amazing
Cheers for the kind words m8. I recommend trying one of these out if the Hofner needs a semi-hollow friend ;)
Sweet! 👍🏻
Also reminds me Castlebeat
Amazing tune ❤
Drum machine sounds awesome too
Sounds soooo good!
Eastwood's making some cool stuff
Nice to see you😊
Move to Gold Coast and form a band with me. A band the likes of which have been seen many times before.
Sounds good malaka! Love it so hard.
'Ambassador' song by late '70s Kiwi band Danse Macabre has an exceptional post punk bass riff
Love!!!
Perfetto
For that full Hooky effect you have to wear it on a strap so it hangs somewhere around your knees
Typical, I decide to buy a 34" scale semi-acoustic bass last December and end up with an Aria Tab, then a few months later Eastwood release this beast.
Haha oh well
sounds great!
That p-up placement got me nervous (too close to the bridge for my personal preference) but it’s perfect for a Hooky sig. great playing too, really nailed the tone and the bass sounds great.
It's pretty cool, loud and clear. Defined in the low end and warm on the higher strings because of the flipped P pickup.
Really like the t-shirt
I love this.
Please do the full song!
Guitarists can play bass but not on the same scale as a bassist. Nice job Des! Cheers.
got me wondering if this is the korean company that churned out the first batches of the jack cassidy for epiphone ..sure looks it.
So, now Hooky has two signature basses - I have the Yamaha BBPH Peter Hook Signature. :)
Well...lucky you. I had to get a replacement car instead I had the damn thing on preorder and everything
that bass looks like the Yamaha SA-70 with a p-bass pickup. crazy.
wow
That riffage is 👌👌👌
I love the rendition of disorder by Joy Division
what effects do you use for the guitar tone?
Is new order still looking for a new bass player?
What’s the song , I know it’s joy division but is this the instrumental version your playing against as the guitar coming through sounds great . Bass sounds quality ! Good job .
Topsiding Disorder🔥🔥🎶🎵
Looks so cool ! Great playing! Nice to finally see your face. Oh and what’s the switch for?
Active/Passive Switch (Passive is Volume/Tone only. Active boosts the output and adds a 3 Band EQ Circuit).
Thanks!

@@DesmondDoom I’ll try this out, thanks for the tip and great playing once again. Keep doing what you do best.
This is so perfect! Congratulations! This is a dream bass isn't it? Hahahahahah
Cheers man, the neck was perfect and the pickup is so loud and clear. A real Post-Punk/Goth machine, you'd love it!

By any chance is this the same bass he used at finsbury when the band did temptation?
I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand…
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏✊
I'M SO ABSOLUTELY FUCKING THIS BASS GUITAR! ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! FUCKING L9V9NG IT! SO GOTH/EMO! I LOVE IT! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Were you playing through an amp or amp Sim
Precision captors just on bridge! Nothing sounds so "Hook-like" than it!
What drum machine are you using?

What’s this genre called?
Post-punk
