An ad for the movie Caddyshack II appeared in a July, 1988 issue of Billboard. Cheap Trick’s version of The Beatles song ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’ was included in the soundtrack, and the publicity photo of the band includes the neck and headstock of Petersson’s natural Hamer B12A 12-string bass. The movie is considered by many to be one of the worst sequels ever created.
