From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scott Thunes (pronounced "too-nis") (born January 20, 1960) is a former bass player with Frank Zappa, Wayne Kramer, Steve Vai, Andy Prieboy, Mike Keneally, Fear, The Waterboys and others.

He played with Zappa's band from 1981 to 1988, and plays on such albums as The Man From Utopia, Them or Us, Broadway the Hard Way, Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch and Guitar, a double-album compilation of Zappa's live guitar solos. Thunes is no longer involved in professional music. He lives in Northern California with his wife Georgia, and his children Hazle Nova and Virgil Mars.

Author Tomas Wictor included an expanded interview with Thunes that had first appeared in Bass Player Magazine, in his book In Cold Sweat: Interviews With Really Scary Musicians (ISBN 0-87910-956-4), in which Thunes talks of his career.
