Designed for players who want the authoritative punch and bite that helped define Iron Maiden’s sound, this signature Precision Bass pairs a 2-piece maple body with a maple neck for fast attack and bright clarity. A custom split pickup delivers tight, commanding low end with the signature snap Harris built a legacy on, while jumbo frets make fleet finger work feel fluid and precise. Finished in menacing Satin Black with a mirrored chrome pickguard worthy of stadium lights, this instrument channels the intensity and finesse needed to cut through heavy mixes and electrify any stage.
Precision Split Pickup Delivers Dynamic Metal Tone
At the core of the Steve Harris Precision Bass is a powerful split single-coil pickup engineered for clarity, punch, and articulation. Its naturally tight attack helps basslines cut through dense guitar layers, making it ideal for driving metal rhythms and melodic leads alike. With responsive master volume and tone controls, players can dial in everything from round, punchy lows to snarling high-mid edge with ease. It’s built to support the kind of high-energy bass work that defines Maiden’s signature sound.
Maple Neck Enhances Speed and Stability
The solid maple neck and fingerboard on the Steve Harris P Bass are designed for speed and durability. Jumbo frets offer a wide, secure feel for articulate phrasing and chromatic runs, while the gloss urethane finish keeps transitions fast and smooth. The 34" scale length maintains balanced tension across the strings, providing consistent tone whether you’re hammering out galloping patterns or holding long, singing notes. With black pearloid inlays adding subtle flair, this neck is ready to handle aggressive technique with confidence and comfort.
Bold Satin Black Finish With Mirrored Chrome Pickguard
This signature Precision Bass captures Harris’ unmistakable stage presence with a sleek Satin Black finish paired with a mirrored chrome pickguard that flashes under lights like a piece of metal armor. The lightweight 2-piece maple body offers strong resonance, yet remains comfortable through long sessions or marathon sets. Built to look as fierce as it sounds, it brings unmistakable attitude to any performance environment.
Durable Hardware Built for Heavy Use
Vintage-style open-gear tuners and a 4-saddle bridge provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, ensuring the instrument stays dialed in through aggressive playing and extended gigs. The included Fender round-wound strings deliver bright attack right out of the box, while the deluxe gig bag makes it easy to swap in Harris’ iconic flat-wound setup. Every detail is built for players who expect reliability from the first rehearsal to the final encore.
