    If you could own a celebrity's bass...

    Hooky says he gave it away to some kid in a charity event. Not sure what he was thinking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hook

    Favorite punk rock bass player?

    Peter Hook from Warsaw. And that other band he was in, they were good, too.

    If you could own a celebrity's bass...

    I would be willing to join the search party to find Peter Hook's fake Rickenbacker - it's out there somewhere. In the meantime, I'd be happy with one of his Shergold 6-strings.

    He who packs first, packs best!

    You might as well have some fun with it. Why not play at your brother's place and then leave with his car? Does he have a pretty girlfriend? Anything not nailed down is fair game.

    Easy beginner songs

    Shadowplay by Joy Division. Couldn't be simpler, but it's all about the dynamics. Get into the groove and it's a really exciting song to play. (Peter Hook and the Light do a nice version on the Live in Australia album, too.)

    Who has your favorite bass sound ?

    Peter Hook all the way, and JJ Burnell. John Entwistle does the biz for me, too.
