Great post man love reading about these sort of subjects, find them so very interesting!!
Any chance of a in depth write up and look into John Deacons strings and musical Instruments that he played live/records... ? and especially in regards to him on the 6 stings... Be cool to have a break down on what he used and what song he used that particular 6 string on... Oh and according to wiki (a site you take with a grain of salt...) he played 6 strings on the album Queen I.. Any info you got to comfirm/deny that

Anyone can add any kind of nonsense to Wikipedia.

A question/comment on 'Dreamer's Ball' - but the early version that was a bonus track on the 2011 remasters.
From memory (and I haven't got it to hand right now), I recall it sounding as if there is no bass guitar on it, but very possibly two acoustic guitars. Bearing in mind that it sounds like a 'live take' (and so eliminating the option that Brian might have overdubbed a second guitar afterwards), I would assume that it is John (and at a guess not Freddie) playing the second acoustic. I have no comment on what guitar he may have been playing, but thought that it might be helpful to the topic.
Is there anything on the 'Jazz' sleevenotes to intimate that John playing acoustic may have also made the final album cut of 'Dreamer's Ball'?

Your memory and/or ears are playing tricks on you. There's only one (very nicely played) guitar on this version I'm afraid.

My memory! Do you happen to have it to hand to comment as to if there is bass guitar on it too? Cheers

No bass. Just guitar, drums, and Fred.

Cheers. So John may not be on that then?

Yeah, it was a three-piece, as it was often the case for those kind of takes (the actual line-up would vary, however).
