According to the Rotosound website, John Deacon used Rotosound RS66LDN Pure Nickel Bass Strings (45-105) on the albums "A Night At The Opera," "A Day at the Races," "News of the World," and "Jazz."
This Linn LM-1 was used in Queen's 1982 album Hot Space. It can clearly be heard in the songs Body Language and Staying Power. The Programming for the LM-1 was done by Roger Taylor. You can see in the promotional photos of guitarist Brian May presenting the LM-1 (of which he hated)
