NOJDBD - '77 Hondo HRB2S (Peter Hook style)

[Clarky]

New Old Joy Division Bass Day.

 

Just received this 1977 (?) Hondo Ricken-faker, the model made famous by Peter Hook in Joy Division days (before he switched to Shergold Marathon 6 string and Yamaha basses). A few screws missing and signs of age but plays/sounds great and, importantly for me, weighs just 8.2 pounds. Sits nicely next to my Shergold Marathon bass, the Joy Division nerd that I am.

Good score!  

I was lucky enough to see Joy Division live (Eric's Liverpool Dec '79) and am ashamed to say I can't remember what bass PH was playing......

If it was August 1979 in Eric's then it was the Hondo (see pics in link)
