witterth Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Manchester based news programme "north west tonight" Granada region had a quick item about a guitar Peter Hook will be using on his "free bass" tour with Andy Rouke and Mani. on TV tonight Basically, its a semi accoustic modeled on his new order "love will tear us apart" type of bass but the body had this really great "police/hazard back&yellow tape,finish, that was the same as what was put round the posts on the Hacienda dance floor. remember? not usually my cup of tea bass wise but looked ACE (imo) the real bonus was that the luthier (Brian ....errr Brian...err... oh... sorry forgot the surname! sorry!!) has used original wood salvaged from the Hac's real dance floor (how cool is that?) so what people danced on, will how doubt make people dance. good story eh?

keeponehandloose Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Brian Eastwood lives in Hebden Bridge I think. He makes some interesting stuff.Each Sunday evening he hosts a jam night in a pub near me and always has a home made jobby with him. He often uses a guitar with strings on the front and back and flips it over for different songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Brian Eastwood lives in Stacksteads (on the main road between Rawtenstall and Bacup). Nice to see that he's going to be busy, but I was going to take a Gibson SG (guitar) to him for a refinish. Bugger, it will take ages, now.

parker_muse Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I swear Peter Hook looks just like Pete Townsend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
