Happy Birthday TOM PETERSSON (video)

#tompetersson #cheaptrick #rockfileradio
Thomas John Peterson (born 9 May 1950), better known as Tom Petersson, is an American musician, best known as the bassist and sometime guitarist for the rock band Cheap Trick.

Petersson contributes to the writing of music and was the first bassist to play a 12 string bass guitar. Jol Dantzig of Hamer Guitars was the builder of the first 12-string bass, an 8-string bass in concept but with four courses of three strings. The root tuning of each course corresponds to that of a four-string bass and adds two strings tuned in unison one octave above the root string. Originally Hamer built him a 10-string bass, then the 12-string he originally wanted. His 12-string bass debuts on the song "Heaven Tonight".
