Annoying Twit Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 They're showing Peter Hook in the movie "Control" playing a real Rickenbacker. Didn't he play a Hondo Rickenbacker copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Definitely no "Rickenbacker" on the truss rod cover in this clip: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ELh_9aPbE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ELh_9aPbE[/url] Truth is faker than fiction?

Jerry_B Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I was always under the impression that it was a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 He definitely played a Hondo copy of a Rick in Joy Division days and I'm not aware Hooky ever played a real Rick. He moved on to Yamaha BB's after the Hondo, IIRC, and now plays Eccleshall and Yamaha basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
