The story heard from bass player, Chuck Berghofer, was that, on the way to the session, he'd heard an arrangement of a tune on a 1974 James Taylor album...man, its the exact line, and fit into the theme song perfectly. Hilarious, great story...

Hey Marty, thanks.
Just wanted to answer you guys about the gear, since Danny (still call him that!) is working on some orchestrations...'k, let's see:
On Barney Miller, Charlies' Angels, Rockford Files, he said he used his Gibson ES335td & Yamaha 100W G100-112 amp;
On Magnum PI, he used his '51 Telecaster (Aug. 8, No.1814, someone stole) & Yamaha SG 3000 guitars, Fender Vibrolux, Paul Rivera mod. amp.
There ya go.

Just heard the version from Season 1 and it sounds like there's an effect used on the bass that's not in the other version. Is this true, and if so, what effect is used?
Thanks!

Found this on a Google search:
"The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits", was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs. Also, because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway.
