Musicman StingRay ?

[@danielecardinali7349]

***** with flatwounds, i suppose

[@kennet7837]

Roundwoods, you don't get this sound with flats.

[@Flamestar320]

Fender Precision Bass I believe.

[@cynicalwho4039]

Well it's around this time and album he started using the stingray and I think he used it on this album but you're right he did have a fender p-bass that he used quite regularly from 77-85 but I'm not sure weather he got this exact sound with that bass, it's a very difficult tone to get I think it's lots of low action and high treble

[@frostmusicofficial]

@Kennet - you can get this sound with flats lmao - have you heard a stingray with flats, p bass maybe not but im pretty sure this is his stingray - plus john almost exclusively used flatwounds as far as we know.

[@floouk]

Is this really John Deacon? Sounds a bit sloppy if you ask me.

[@TheDefiningAwesome]

John Deacon was always 'sloppy'. But his unique sound was also utter brilliance

[@merlijnslewe9278]

also, this was one of the first albums he was in

[@bananatree5526]

Merlijn Slewe no, he had been in all the albums, and written in the previous 2

@@merlijnslewe9278 one of the first albums he was in??? Sorry what? Think you'll find John's been with Queen since they recorded their first album, and started writing during the 2nd album, dumbass
