Does anyone know what he did with them,or if he still plays them?He is the reason i started on the bass,a truly great and inspirational player.

from what i heard he sold them all when he retired from Queen.
That makes me sad,he is such a great underrated player,maybe that may be another reason he did not want to go on tour,he may not have had confidence in his playing.He was missed,when him and freddie came on the screen in Belfast,we all went mad,most people for freddie but for me it was for John.:-).

Probably he still has at least one, no?!!
Take care
In the last years he used his black Fender Precision, so probably it's still with him.
Would love to have one!! As a bassist and huge Queen fan that would be the ultimate!!!
I agree.........I love the Black one he use's the fender precision.I saw him use a stingray musicman and have ever since wanted one(i know he gave away):-(.

Been playing now for about 23 years. My favorite Queen bassline would have to be "Dragon Attack" though I like playing most of their earlier material..
You?
I would have to say....Crazy little thing called love is such a fun bassline,i love the runs in radio gaga,but ultimatly CLTCL is my favourite.The weirdest one i have come across is your my best friend,it was really difficult to pick out,the first song i learned on the bass was death on two legs.
At least he threw it away in Knebworth 1986 ;)

There are definitely a lot of fun ones to play. I always thought John never got the credit he deserved as a bassist... Have played in bands that do their songs live also.. TYMD, Hammer to Fall, etc.. Even did Under Pressure live in one band. THAT was fun!! Everyone thought we were playing with the Vanilla Ice song and went nuts when they realized what we were really doing.
The band I'm in now are planning to do a few Queen cover once we get our CD recorded and start playing out. Several potentials have been tossed out including Innuendo and The Show Must Go On. I want to do The Prophet Song!!
I believe John played bass in the band of his son in the early 90's. Around 1993/1994.
