Tom Petersson—conceptualizer of the 12-string bass and original low-end man for Cheap Trick—gives Premier Guitar a glimpse at some of the rare gems in his vast collection of vintage guitars and basses
1964 Harvey Thomas Teardrop Bass
With a top profile reminiscent of an oud, this bass is a one-of-a-kind creation from eclectic builder Harvey Thomas, who originally made the instrument in the early '60s for his band's bassist. "Ian Hunter's Maltese Cross guitar was also made by Harvey," Petersson notes.
