* "When I was five years old my hero was John Deacon, who used to do the most incredible upper-register work and those melodic, tight groove parts." – Richie Edwards.

* "Grossly underrated. His bas, bass parts are like little stories, yet he never gets in anyone's way. With all the guitars and vocals going on, he finds the spaces and plays basically what he wants. He's loose, fluid, and quite busy at times, but I can't find one song where he stepped on the vocal of gitaar parts." – Danny Miranda

It's awful that he's written some world famous hits, but not enough people know the man behind the music. Still, he is a true hero of mine and will always be considered by many one of the worlds greatest bass players and musicians."

The amp was used along with May's Red Special gitaar and his treble-booster to produce sounds reminiscent of various orchestral instruments.
