Bassman Steve Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not much in comparison to his Precisions is, I think, what is meant and is probably perfectly correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 True but due to a massive career he has still used one for what would otherwise be a lifetimes work for some bands. Everyone goes on about the stripped P basses yet to my mind I always think of him with the red 80s looking one with the covered pole pieces?

Bassman Steve Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I always think of him before the basses were stripped but then I'm ancient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky2 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I once, when I was young and daft, had a Kramer bass like John deacon had used.... The one with the aluminium neck and forked head stock..... Was a fecker to keep in tune in a warm club....

wateroftyne Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think that shot of Freddie at the piano with JD standing behind him, stripped P in hand, in the Bohemian Rhapsody video probably places it into 'iconic' territory.

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Im not sure many basses will reach the dizzy values that guitars can reach anyway, for the most part us bassists are not so well known? (insert arguement about Macca fidle bass and the original being stolen anyway and repeat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
