EddiePlaysBass Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Always thought Billie C only wanted female bass players. I quite like Peter Hook as a bassist. As a person, somewhat less - but then I have to admit to not knowing him personally. "I'm a work in progress."

Mark Schmieder Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Peter seems to mostly play guitar now, letting his son handle bass duties in bands that he fronts. The clips I've seen/heard are unimpressive regarding Peter's current energy levels, but his son is definitely a quite competent and versatile bassist. The "female bassist" requirement can be hard to meet due to supply vs. demand, and seems to have been relaxed by several bands (I forget who The Pixies hired after the falling out with Kim Deal).
