Dickie Peterson of BLUE CHEER and his new bass! 4-20 clock explained! Sept 2007 with Bill Baker.

Happy 4-20! Here's a new upload in better quality of my "short film" I made while visiting my friend, Dickie Peterson of Blue Cheer back in 2007! Please visit www.dickiepeterson.com for more pics and love for our friend. This was my visit over a long weekend and my presenting him with the first bass that was to be his signature bass, it was a test or prototype as I went with his suggestions (the hum bucker in the bridge position). I made this bass for him to use and some day, offer for sale. I did make another different version after some road tests, it didn't have enough low end (which I predicted but we tried his idea first), then I worked on another with the same neck and a new body, and while doing so he got diagnosed with cancer and only saw some emailed pictures of what would have been his new bass to test. What I think would have worked perfectly, I built for Anders K of the band "VOLBEAT" from Denmark! Im sure Dickie approved, as I got to hear the low end tone of that bass live from the pit at a show. It was amazing to hear something I had assembled being used and a chill ran up my spine because I just knew Dickie was right there with me. Thanks for watching, I hope to re-edit my film sometime soon, there is more video.....
