Interviewer: Do you ever mess around with a 5-string?
Steve Harris: Nah, that’s one too many, haha. In my opinion a bass player does not need five strings or more. But everyone to their own. If someone feels extra special by having more strings, that’s fine. But it’s not my cup of tea.
Interviewer: Well I like to play seven-string guitars and my theory is: if I break a string I’ve still got six.
Steve Harris: Well, there you go!
