Tom Petersson 
 Petersson  is a bassist's bassist.  He's the founding member of and lowend  provider for iconic American rock band  Cheap Trick, inventor of the 12-string bass, and  revered for a tone that's all his own. He's also the  curator of a very impressive personal collection of  basses and guitars: from highly collectible vintage  pieces, to fiercely unique one-offs from small-scale  builders, to prototypes from the big manufacturers  that only a handful of musicians will ever see or  touch. Petersson recently shared a handful of  his instrument candy with Premier Guitar,  and, take it from us: these fine specimens  will make just about any  player drool.
