Clarky Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) 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.

Shaggy Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago 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...... Quote

Clarky Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago If it was August 1979 in Eric's then it was the Hondo (see pics in link) Quote
