Tom Petty on bass guitar
Petty extensively played bass guitar on recordings and in concert. He was the bassist in Mudcrutch in both their early and later years, he recorded bass on many Heartbreakers records, his solo albums and in one instance, a Johnny Cash album. Therefore, I believe bass guitar should be listed on his list of notable instruments. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Re bass with Johnny Cash - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/johnny-cashs-unchained-at-20-inside-the-making-of-a-masterpiece-108557/ also Runnin' Down a Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers By Tom Petty ISBN 9780811862011 Chronicle Books, 25 Oct 2007 bass playing references on pages: 141, 190, 205.

- Petty is playing bass on this live version of Looking For The Magic by Dwight Twilley. His face can be clearly seen at 2:15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l24DFbedbJ0 2600:8807:5478:9D00:0:0:0:896C (talk) 12:04, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Drums
While most people wouldn't call Tom Petty a drummer, he did play all of the drums on the Highway Companion album, which to me warrants their inclusion under instruments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.208.47.91 (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Though he sometimes played a Telecaster... most of the time he played a Stratocaster... reference the video Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party

Graduation
Re this revert: is "Template:Tq" more American English, compared with "Template:Tq" which is more British English? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:01, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Martin, I would guess 'from which' is more British (the IP is from Australia). It is also a more formal style of writing then the rest of the article.
- For American English, I prefer the more common 'where he graduated from'. IP75 (talk) 10:42, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, it does look a bit more formal, doesn't it. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:51, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
