Here's how to sound like Hooky:

Does the fact that i can't play a guitar matter? Do you think it would still work? I'm just rubbish aren't i? You'd have thought they'd have updated the site though - Joy Division?

It obviously hasn`t been updated since 1980!

***Bass and guitar trainspotter alert****

...and I think it's wrong anyway, even for JD stuff. Didn't Hooky use Clone Theory Electro Harmonics as his effect, not just a chorus pedal? Any suggestions from other guitar geeks out there? MD (CTD)

I tried this set up and within 5 minutes i had everyone in the room thinking i was Hooky... hang on a minute, i am Hooky.

Originally posted by ShugZV Apparently.....if you set up yer Bass like this - it could shatter glass from 30 yards.....don't believe me? Listen to I remember nothing...near the end you hear glass shattering - that was the noise from Martin Hannett's recording booth (he wasn't best pleased - but since it was the last track, and they never had money to replace it - they decided the best thing was, to leave it in - then do a runner before anyone had noticed)

I thought that was Barney's glass eyes falling out, no wonder he always has the 'stoney-glass-eyed' look ... or maybe a syringe hitting the floor?

What a great name: ManDingo...a superhero for our time!

Some fine soul here recently posted the online chat from Australia in which Hooky claims to have, what, 15 or 20 of those Clone Theory stomp boxes?

Hey Muffy, a man dingo ate out my baby!

...........very tasty it was too. Enfent a la Chamberlain, classic dingo dish. With jump-suit dressing Md

Ok I have an acoustic... do you think it will work???

...no you don't, I don't think Hooky does! Plus Hooky sounds more like a guitar than bass anyway, so your halfway there. Md (CTD)
