There's a Brian May signature bass?

I've played one. It's quite nice.

 

It is neck-heavy, but plays easily, is quite light, sounds big and tubby (very much that old Gibson vibe) and, if you like that sort of thing, is a rather good instrument. I'd suspect most Queen-loving bass players would rather opt for a Deacy-style Precision or Stingray though.

 

He's actually got a whole range of instruments, including the bass, various versions of the Red Special, an acoustic and a ukulele!

As the Bass Centre operate as the UK/European distributor for Brian May guitars, when I was picking up my EUB, I asked Barry how often he has contact with Brian May and he replied, 'Oh, just this morning.  There were a few signed guitars in open cases going out to collectors.  (BM lives in Windlesham, barely five minutes drive from the Bass Centre location.)

 

Red Special guitars aside, they also distribute the Arielle; these are the brightly coloured Firebird-ish models with the same guts as the BM model.
