I'd like to put some misunderstanding to rest about this.
I am widely credited with having originated the bass line for this TV theme. THIS IS NOT TRUE! CHUCK BERGHOFER was the bass player on the original Season One session. He did most of the shows. Once or twice, when Chuck was busy doing something else, I was called to do the annual (new season) re-recording of the theme. The bass line was already established by the time I recorded it. Please pass this information on to your friends and colleagues. I'd appreciate it. I WILL NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK !!!
Another misunderstanding: I was the bass player for the "Bob Newhart Show" sessions. I did them all. There has been confusion about this, too.
Back in the '70s, there was a TON of work! We all STAYED busy. We all had occasional schedule conflicts. We all covered each other.

Just kidding, that was a great sound to have in my head, coming up...
