customize my prompt in bash

in csh I was using:
set prompt=""$HOSTNAME".tk.\!> "

to customize the look of my prompt. I have seen the light after reading the perils of csh scripting and wish to switch to bash. How do I customize my bash prompt??? I've tried many variation of the above w/no success, and searching this board didn't help either.
