I'm not sure you should have removed the watermark. Hydeo Tanaka obviously wanted them marked so they weren't stolen.

And those aren't proper watermarks. If you're going to watermark because you're a professional photographer and selling prints is your bread and butter, do it like this:
...or you can take it a step further and be like the carrot danglers on Facebook (who notably don't own the copyright but we all know who they are) who do it like this:

That's great. Thanks guys It's not a D-18. It looks like a copy of an acoustic similar to the Gibson Hummingbird. Probably a Japanese make (while the same name, it's different from the Tokai Hummingbird Brian used in the acoustic shows he did with Kerry. Thanks for the explanation.

These next three pics were all taken by Paul McAlpine. I tried to do some detective work to figure out which gigs these were from but came up with nothing. Assuming he attended shows around the same area, the last pic is a Races Tour pic, and John has his Music Man bass, so I'm guessing he's from a city that got hit later in the Races Tour. My records show Paul McAlpine was from the New England area, taking photos in Boston and Springfield MA, at least.
Although the first photo we have of Deacon with his Music Man bass are in Philadelphia on Feb 11, it's always possible he tried it out at another gig like Springfield (Feb 3) before reverting back to his P Bass for a few nights (including Boston, Feb 9). Here's the copy I found a few weeks ago, look at the bottom of this photo:

Ryan Newton I love your photos from News Of The World tour. I don't quote it just to keep this page more clear. Since the release of 40th anniversary edition, NOTW is my favourite period of Queen so it's wonderful to see all these photos. Here's another one from Twitter, of course from UK 78 tour:

And upon closer examination, Deacon is playing his P bass here. The Music Man has numerous knobs and switches on the body and one tuning peg at the bottom of the headstock, and this one has just two knobs and four tuning pegs on top - definitely the Precision.
In conclusion - it's gonna be hard to date most of these now, unless someone gets in touch with the photographer.

That doesn't look like the P-bass to me. Note the white oval-like design on the body of the music man on this shot from The Forum, which is what's on that Paul McAlpine pic, whereas the Fender has a more curved pick guard, as seen below Also, I'm definitely seeing the flipped peg in the Paul McAlpine picture. I've circled all the pegs coming out of the face of the headstock, and the alignment is definitely that of the Music Man Stingray. It's definitely not a shot from MSG, despite what the label says (that is, unless he used it as a spare that night, but I find this highly unlikely).

You're right - I see the oval and the tuning pegs, but I'm also seeing only two knobs. The Music Man has four.
Bizarre. But it's clearly the lighting.
So this means the photographer is just making up the venues as he goes along, which doesn't help us at all.

Is it just me or does something look edited out? Like, look at this... Look right next to that knob at the bottom of the head, right where that black line is. The black line has this gap in the middle. Now, I could be totally wrong, but it sort of looks like someone edited something out, like maybe a peg. Edit: Never mind.

What guitar is this? I wonder if it was used during any recording session, or it's just the guitar Freddie had in his flat. According to my friend's (queenfanatic) says it's a Martin D_18 it's also used at the recording of "Funny How Love Is" FAIK, someone already debunked Brian's Martin being a D-18. As for the one in the photograph, any chance it's the Tokai Hummingbird he used on 'The Prophet's Song' and 'Love of My Life'?

They were broke - they definitely didn't have two of the same kind of guitar lying around.

GIMP's white balance feature! It's great for quick colour-corrections, although it's not perfect. Most of those pictures worked well with it, but some needed a bit of extra colour and contrast tuning. For example here's what only the white balance did to the vertical shot of Brian.

I think I might have to wait for a bit as it's not showing any changes so far.

That web design is ancient. One day I'm going to have someone redo it.

Hmm, it's still not really doing anything. I guess the best thing to do is just wait.

Clearing browser cache is usually what helps. To save load times, browsers store versions of the webpage on memory. Issue is that it can be out of date when it tries to pull it from the cache, so clearing it will force it to load the latest version.
