Description
Eastwood Hooky VK PRO Bass Black
The Eastwood Hooky VK PRO Bass in Black is a full-scale, semi-acoustic bass inspired by Peter Hook’s original four-string stage bass concept.
Built with a striking semi-hollow body design, maple thru-neck construction and active/passive electronics, the Hooky VK PRO Bass brings together vintage-inspired character, bold stage presence and practical modern bass performance.
Peter Hook-Inspired Design
The Hooky VK PRO Bass was created around Peter Hook’s original semi-acoustic bass idea, combining the feel and punch of a full-scale bass with the resonance and stage personality of a semi-acoustic design.
For players chasing that distinctive post-punk, melodic bass voice, this is a seriously cool instrument with a strong identity.
Semi-Acoustic Body with Black Finish
The body features a maple top with mahogany back and sides, giving the bass a strong foundation of clarity, warmth and resonance.
The Black finish gives it a sharp, understated look, while the semi-acoustic construction adds a different feel and response compared with a standard solidbody bass.
Maple Thru-Neck Construction
The maple thru-neck design adds sustain, stability and a smooth feel through the instrument.
Paired with a 34" scale length, this bass has the familiar long-scale response players expect, with a strong and confident playing feel across the neck.
Ebony Fingerboard and 22 Frets
The Hooky VK PRO Bass features an ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and a 16" fingerboard radius.
This gives it a clean, modern feel under the hands, making it suitable for melodic lines, driving bass parts, higher-register work and more traditional bass duties.
Active and Passive Tone Options
The pickup setup uses a split-coil P Bass-style pickup, giving the bass a strong, familiar voice with punch and definition.
The active/passive switching adds flexibility. In passive mode, you get simple volume and tone control. In active mode, the bass boosts output and brings in a 3-band EQ with bass, mid and treble controls for more shaping power.

Our Take
This is a bass with real personality. The semi-acoustic body gives it a different feel to a standard solidbody, while the P Bass-style pickup keeps it familiar and usable. The active/passive switching and 3-band EQ make it more flexible than it first appears, and the black finish looks killer.
