Yeah, pretty cool.  Nice to him back on the T-Birds again.  I've got a shot of him from the 25th (30th?) Anniversary show with an Epiphone Embassy.  I had one of his Embassies for over 20 years.  By far my favorite bass, but I had to sell it.  I found a nice home for it in Chicago (fur85 from the old Pit now owns it).  Among the people who owned that bass before me were:

Tom Petersson
Jon Brandt (who didn't know it was once Petersson's)
Dave Angell

All names that I'm sure Tom Heslin recognizes.

Is that a Dasson, by any chance, or one of those cheap (tricky) and nasty imitations...?

One of my bridges I believe

If that's his main one, I believe it's had the headstock put back on a couple of times

I've got a couple of Tom's former basses....ironically, two that are related.  The "Busted" album Hamer 12-string with the album graphic on the front & back and "BUSTED" inlaid down the neck (it's a rare medium scale with a maple fingerboard!)  This was supposed to be in a music video for the album but didn't get to the shoot in time, so Tom decided to use....the other bass of his that I happen to also have...his Hamer Thunderbird 8-string one-off. He also used this 8-string when he toured with Concrete Blonde and did TV appearances with them around 1990-91.

Both have the standard Petersson three quarter-inch jack outputs and three toggle switches, so each pickup goes to a separate amp and can be turned on/off.

Okay.......My stunt liver too............
