	Rarebird's Cheap Trick Reviews
		Although the music of Fuse bears little resemblance to that of their future band, the presence of Nielsen and Petersson is evident and distinctive throughout; the two clearly had remarkable chemistry from the start.
		Petersson returned in time for the 1988 album Lap Of Luxury, which was their comeback album.
		Tom produced and arranged the record, which is nicely atmospheric at times; he also played guitar, piano, and 12- and 18-string bass.

	Waterstone
		Petersson tends to use the 34-inch scale TP-2 but has been seen playing some of these with the bridge pickup removed.
		Each bass carries the "Tom Petersson 12 String Bass" orange oval sticker on the inside of the body (reminescent of vintage Gibson hollow-bodies,) signed by Tom.
		An obvious copy of the successful Waterstone Tom Petersson model, the Tennessee modle's main difference is that it only uses a SINGLE TRUSS ROD.

		In the summer of 1980, Tom Petersson, founding member and bassist for Cheap Trick, left the group after recording the George Martin produced All Shook Up, released toward the end of that year.

		He did a brief stint with Enuff Z' Nuff, and in 1984, when original former Cheap Trick bassist Tom Petersson released his Tom Petersson And Another Language EP with wife Dagmar, Comita was invited to join their band, called Sick Man of Europe.

		But with the release of Woke Up with a Monster, the band's first Warner Bros. record (after 15 years and 13 albums on Epic), Petersson has another shocker up his sleeve: the new disc was recorded primarily with a fire-red '63 Gibson Thunderbird and a '57 and '61 Precisions.
		AS for Petersson's fabled 12's, these days they're relegated to duty on Cheap Trick's stage show, where he deploys either a checkerboard or blue Hamer.
		Petersson's Favorite studio experience came during the sessions for 1980's All Shook Up, chaired by legendary Beatles producer George Martin, "He was great," Tom marvels.

	Bass Player - Cheaper By the Dozen
		Cheap Trick’s Tom Petersson was ever taught the “traditional” way to approach bass guitar, it didn’t take.
		Audacious, visionary, and highly capable, the innovative Petersson has dedicated himself to creating the unique sounds he hears in his head—sounds he wasn’t able to fully realize until he invented the 12-string bass, a 4-string with lighter-gauge octave strings running next to the standard strings.
		Petersson is now on the road with the Waterstone basses, delivering the monstrous tone through his Reeves amp rigs.

		Much later I learned that Szeluga had actually done a stint (on bass) in CT while Tom Petersson was on sabbatical.
		Robin was just gorgeous, and he used to wear tight, light-colored, high-waisted trousers and a button-down shirt with the tails tied in a knot; sometimes he even wore a tie and vest.
		Some of the fans started waving at Tom, thinking he was Peter Frampton, so Tom jumps on this limo that was parked there and 5,000 people turned and waved at him.

		Toward that end, Cheap Trick are already penning a new album, though it won't be released until after a live album culled from the current tour.
		Carlos and Petersson admit that Albini has been discussed as a possible producer for the next studio effort, though they're a ways yet from getting down to such brass tacks.
		Outside of the Epic reissues, Cheap Trick are currently without a label, though both Carlos and Petersson maintain that they are currently weighing multiple prospects.

		Great album --- which Yep Roc Records has proudly proclaimed its members to be via a "SWAG is..." sticker applied to the CD jewel box with Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick listed as a member of the band.
		However, the official voice of Tom Petersson, CheapTrick.Com, now says Tom played bass on only two tracks and was not a Swag band member (some press materials from Yep Roc Records do state that Brad Jones, the producer, played bass on other tracks when "Tom was at his day job").

	12-String Basses
		Back in 1977, Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick approached Hamer Guitars to help him develop an 8-string bass to replace the Hagstrom 8-string he was currently experimenting with.
		The Hagstrom was a nightmare to contend with as the overall playability and construction was unimpressive to say the least.
		As Hamer and Tom collaborated, they started pushing the designing envelope and Tom asked if Hamer could build him a 12-string bass in the form of 4 fundamentals with two octaves each (eeE, aaA, ddD and ggG).

		Tom and Jon Brant's live sound was unbelievable...
		His first bass influence was none other than Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick, although it took him almost 20 years to finally acquire a 12-string bass, which he loves.
		Ron is currently working on a solo project called "No Concept" that features the 12-string bass on several songs, including a solo arrangement of the hymn "A Mighty Fortress," a song called "Old Friend" that features 12-string bass and 12-string guitar, and a really heavy song called "Done" inspired by the stories of HP Lovecraft.

	Dream Police Still On Duty - Cheap Trick in Concert (NY Rock)
		King of all quirky guitarists Rick Nielsen, his "favorite singer in the whole wide world" Robin Zander, dreamboat bassist Tom Petersson and deadpan drummer Bun E. Carlos look amazingly well preserved for guys who started playing individually in the late '60s.
		It wasn't until 1974 that Nielsen and Petersson, who had been jamming together in Europe, teamed up with Bun E. (allegedly short for Bunezuela) in Germany and eventually found Zander who had been singing in "Scotland or someplace" according to Nielsen.
		The band's imaginative history is subject to change depending on whom you ask and what they had for lunch.

		That along with another song "Dead or Anything", stood out as not suited to either Evan or Ben's upcoming albums but were deemed too good to let go.
		Evan and Ben approached new found friends, Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick and Jason Schwartzman of Phantom Planet (also known for his superb acting debut in Rushmore), to play bass and drums respectively.

	Cheap Trick, Robin Zander, Bun E. Carlos, Tom Petersson, Rick Nielsen, Rockford
		Robin Zander, Bun E. Carlos, Tom Petersson, and Rick Nielsen have been at it for 30 years as Cheap Trick; but don't you dare call RockFord a comeback CD or a reunion of any kind.
		The fact of the matter is that Cheap Trick have toured relentlessly over the past three decades and have put out new albums consistently every step of the way, a fact that they are quite proud of.
		Bassist Petersson quit the band for a few years, but then came back with their 1988 release Lap of Luxury, which produced their #1 hit, "The Flame." Invigorated by this success, Cheap Trick entered the '90s with the album Busted, which again produced Top-40 material.

		Surprisingly, two high points stem from the band's 1977 debut: the Lennon-esque "Ballad of T.V. Violence" and the haunting "Mandocello," to which former Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan lends a tasteful solo.
		The DVD's only shortcoming is its sound, which remains dynamically limited and essentially monaural, even in 5.1--a missed opportunity to put us right there in the club with the band.
		Bun E. is one of the most dexterous drummer I have ever seen, almost watching a whole marching band in one person...Robin singing was excellent, Rick's guitar playing was awesome and Tom's bass playing stunned me..he was so note perfect, everything thing he did shaped the song.
