What do you mean by "who"?

Queen had 3 bassplayers before John. Mike Grose, Barry Mitchell and Doug Bogie.

I think the setlist wasn't really different for each of the bassplayers.

Mainly the old songs of Queen were played, like Liar, Doing Allright (which is originally a Smile song), Son and Daughter, Great King Rat, Keep Yourself Alive, Hangman, Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll (maybe See What A Fool I've been???) and later on Jesus and The Night Comes Down. Also Stone Cold Crazy was played (which is said to be a Wreckage song), and a rumour says that this song was a slow version, but it's just a rumour. I believe Barry told on QZ that the version was just the Queen version as we know it today.

Well, which covers, hmm. Jailhouse Rock, Shake Rattle and Roll, Bama Lama Bama Loo, Stupid Cupid, Big Spender, Be Bop A Lula etc.
