H the Bass Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) As promised to a couple of members here are some pics of my 51'Reissue Precision bass,though they dont really do it justice,must get a better camera,anyway it was made for Maidens tour of Japan in the late 90's by the Fender Custom Shop Japan,Steve Harris played it a couple of times and decided it didn't really fit Maidens image!Ive' only seen one in Gold before and that was in rock legend Bob Daisley's collection,i believe its got USA hardware but i have no idea what the pick up is?,but it sounds awesome strung with Steve Harris signature flatwounds i snaffled it soon as and regularly gig with it with my band The Expendables!ENJOY!Check out that beautifully figured maple neck!

Schnozzalee Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That looks a stonker! I do love the paisley finish, for men with big cojones. Really nice figuring on the neck too. I didn't know of a Fender Japan Custom shop till this. The single coil P basses have a real something tonewise I can't put my finger on. Thanks for putting up the pics!

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Aaaargh ! My eyes. Sorry , but love Maiden and Stevie , but I know I'm (probably ) the odd one out here with my opinion.

StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I agree with you Ray, this bass is just... UUURRRRRGH! I'm sure it sounds sweet and plays like a dream but what in the name of Eddie was Steve Harris doing commissioning this thing under his name?

GremlinAndy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Love that bass! Would be SUPER proud to own/play it myself. I agree it might take a bit of balls but if you wear pajamas, or a smoking jacket it'd be perfectly camoflaged. "Niiiiice". PM me if you ever wanna sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnozzalee Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) I'd like to see the blue version too! If you have the pink that'd be a full set I'd add shineys but thats just because I look at my basses more than I play them at Uni .
