OT: Queen - Jazz

John Deacon- What a bass god!!!

And man, what a great record with Music Man tone all over it!!!

I pulled this one out of the archives today, and was blown away how great it still sounds, timeless.

I LOVED that band. I used to dress up like Freddie Mercury, lace up pants, scarfs, mid drifts....boy, those were the days...70's and 80's....sure got the girls though..... and a LOT of teasing from my friends....one still refers to me as a rather colorfull name....

Might have to see that.
No John Deacon though.

I don't think he used his Stingray on the whole album.. Queen is my favourite band of all time. And John Deacon and Geddy Lee are my favourist bassist. They are both very different, but great.
Anyway I think he uses his Precision on "Jealousy" for example..

Didn't he use a special series Fender Precision bass most of the time ??

Mostly early Precision models.

There is a band around here called "Queen for a Day". They are a Queen tribute band and they are awesome. The bass player uses only Sterling basses. Look them up and see them if they are doing a show anywhere near you.
