Steve Harris Maiden 50th anniversary pbass

I'm praying for the day every MIM costs $1,000 plus.

Great to see the legend @King Tut last night playing at the Cart and Horses, Stratford - one of my 'home' venues yesterday. We had a great chat about many things including Steve's new sig bass.

Stray were phenomenal as always, and I studied Harris at close quarters

Thanks fella, nice to nerd out and talk bass!

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.

So it's ripping off its own Phil Lynott model then.

I managed to have a play with the new model on Denmark St yesterday - with a very understanding wife nearby lol

It's lovely. 

The neck felt a little slimmer than my Blue model, but only just.

The pups deliver very well, and you don't miss the spb4.

Still very pricey for it though - I'll be waiting to see if any appear on the s/h market

I really like his red one. Which has given me a great idea for my next 'tribute' build...

Here’s my red one. A 1986 MIJ. I think I did this before he got his, so it’s nice to know I inspired him 👀🤣

It reminds me of when I had been a Hartke artist for about 15 odd years and all of a sudden Sheehan, Wootton, Bello and a whole host of other top players joined the roster too. 😁 I liked to think I have inspired someone, somewhere on the planet.. 

 

Your bass looks absolutely fantastic! I too have a MIJ precision that will get the treatment and, although I adore candy apple red, even the candy cola red, I have a slight obsession with chameleon flip paint and have a very special red in mind! Thank you for posting, definitely solidified my plan!

I know some random on Behschat is less impressive than a Sheehan or a Wooten, but I did actually buy my No 1 favourite bass as a direct result of your review. So by all means consider yourself an inspiration 👍😁
