The title pretty much says it all. I would have posted this in recordings, but the question is pertaining to the bass used so I posted here, correct me if I misposted.

Does anyone have a transcription of that bass line? I've tried to figure it out by ear, but I've never got it right; there's a lot going on. Thanks.

Its a nice line to play, I've played it in a band and I've got me playing it on mini disc somewhere !

Freddie used a '72 P-Bass with roundwound strings to record this song.
| Found through a google search. |

I think it was a burst with a maple neck.
I also think that issue of BP had the transcription in it.
