New Order and Joy Division Shergolds
Most of these pictores come from archive clips in the BBCs'
"Rock Family Trees" showing a customized Masquerader
being used by Barney, and a six string Marathon bass being used by Peter (one of three that he is
understood to have currently), which you can also just see the headstock of behind Peters' head
in this picture.
Thanks to Brian W for the extra info and Stoke Poly picture.

Barney using his customized Masquerader - note the white DiMarzio pickups and
F*nder style trem, and Peter using his six string Marathon bass on a "Top of The Pops" performance of
"Blue Monday". He plays it more like a lead guitar than a bass, with a very synth inspired sound.
