Steve Harris Maiden 50th anniversary pbass

[christhammer666]

Love the look of this but for this coin id expect at least the bad-ass bridge and a seymour duncan QP in it ?

A cynical money grab that has nothing to do with Steve Harris in colour, pickups or hardware appointments. It's just a standard P Bass with a silver/mirror scratchplate.

No West Ham sticker? 😂

Has `Arry ever used a black P-bass - not that I`m a major fan or anything but only ever seen clips of him with the blue or white ones.

Maybe VERY briefly in the very early days.... and of course he also had one painted black/white checkerboard...

It’s a puzzler, this. And it seems to be more expensive than the West Ham version.

IIRC double the price. i think the west sham one was £800 something

Yup, looks like a cynical cash grab to me, unfortunately.

I know it is "limited", but it is impressive that Fender have elevated the Made in Mexico range to £1,700.

😲😐 I can't see Arry or Maiden Holdings plc signing off on this utter tosh.

[mr4stringz]

Around ‘81 he used a black one, so appears it’s based on that. But still, no thanks. The price is nuts.

Yep, this is the one I referred to....but it's got a 70's TV 'Fender Precision Bass 'logo, so that's another inaccuracy on the cash grab 50th one.

[police squad]

IIRC the black one is still the one he has in WHUFC colours now

this new black one does have a maple body though, so it should sound right (and weigh the Queen Mary 2 down quite nicely)

I sold my hammers one because it was just too heavy for me )

[Lozz196]

Peach Guitars have one, 10lb 14. 
 

My vertebrae crumbled just typing that!

[neepheid]

Logo on the headstock aside, couldn't this be achieved quite easily with a Squier P then a quick message to Brian Pillans or Tinytone?

[fretmeister]

'Arry has his own Seymour model now as the QP wasn't really anything to do with him. That just happened to be spec'd for the first Japanese signature.

 

But this pile of arse should have had at least the sig pickup in it. And the right bridge.

"'Tis the season to be conned,

by good, old Fender, once again.

Tralalalala ... ..."

[ezbass]

That’s a fair chunk of change for a MiM.

I'd imagine Mr Harris would have had to have signed it off. What was he thinking?

[prowla]

Poopy.

[dudewheresmybass]

regardless of the Harry connection, I like the look of it, but it's way too pricey for a Mex IMO

Japanese perhaps, but still no spb4 or BA sadly
