It's often discussed... the Red Special, a Fender bass, Ludwig drums, etc. You can buy cheap knockoffs or the real thing.
But what was Freddie's microphone of choice? I've only a handfull of concerts to look at. Did he "demand" the use of a certain mic or did he even worry about that? Surely somebody endorsed the greatest vocalist of his genre.
Damn! I tried SO hard to find that Live pic of Freddie where he is playing the piano and the microphone's shadow on him looks like a male organ. It's a picture taken from above the piano, 80's Freddie is wearing his black leather cap and is making a funny face.

I guess my joke will remain incomplete. -_-
Yup :) That's it, but apparently the lower end is cut and you can't actually see "it".
Now that I see it, I'm actually a bit embarrased I said that in the first place. That it was a nice lady who completed my crappy yet nasty joke, well, it doesn't help.

I find that INCREDIBLY offensive. You have crossed a line, my friend.
PS. To answer the original question, I've done a bit of poking about and he used an AKG mic. link Although I've read it was more out of habit than anything else.
