Steve Harris made me pick the bass back in the '80s... still playing Maiden covers with my band!
Same. I’d never have picked up a bass if not for Harris.
Awesome bro
Hope that your fingers wont get arthritis too soon
@@billfraser1491, I try to warmup every time we jam…
He made us all pick the bass but hopefully not pick the bass... ;-)
I'm a simple man.
The only thing I want is a Steve Harris fender signature bass.
And then... I'm happy
I need two. One staying as it is, and I install some EMG GZRs in the other
You have not played The Trooper, I unsubscribe from your channel !
...
Nice review guy, you rock! ;)
I have Steve’s bass and it’s definitely my favorite bass I’ve ever had.
Give it back, he needs it!
The bass player from The Toadies plays one, and his live tone is absolutely incredible.
That damn bass sounds AMAZING!!!!
Nice demo! Congratulations for this channel!
Best-ever review of this particular bass, thanks to his playing skills and style!
It was cool to see what a SH Fender looks like. It would have been great to see / hear details of how it differs from other P basses though.
Next year’s Christmas present to myself.
Thanks for reviewing it!
Did you get it? I said the same thing and Amazon has this bass at 25% right now, im thinking of pulling the trigger
Own one.....and I love it!
You forgot to mention that the neck is one piece of maple and not two piece, which makes is a pretty rare beast. I.e. not a maple neck with stuck on maple fretboard but one whole piece.
Super video! Danke!
Melhor baixista do mundo
STEVE HARRIS
Melhor contrabaixo do mundo com certeza
Sticking West Ham on this seriously limits the marketability in the UK. I liked the blue one (and, yes, I know he repainted it to like this)..
prwapps it limits sales to Hammers bassists. Who like metal. UK metal. Chiefly iron maiden. Two sales.
Exactly that. I csnt see many being sold in UK... Only thing putting me off.
I was thinking about putting an Everton decal over that West Ham nonsense!!
@@jeffjacobson59 Why would you spend all that money on it then devalue it by putting and Everton sticker on it? Mind you, if you're genuinely from Everton you've most likely knicked it anyway.......;-)
I prefer Steve’s roundwound days, but anyway it’s a cool bass.
Danke fur video!
Maple is my favorite body wood. Especially hard rock maple. It what helps give Rics their signature “ring”
Just a tip from someone who got one years ago, don't try and install the flatwounds that come with it. They are absolutely useless unless you like drop C.
Really? All the Maiden I’ve played is E Standard. Aces High, Fear of the Dark, Number of the Beast and The Trooper anyway.
Steve uses 50-110s which aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but apparently if you get his Tech 21 SansAmp you can replicate his sound almost perfectly.
Looking forward to getting it all. Harris guitar, pickups, flats and his SH1.
Why? What do you mean? High string tension is part of Steve's sound.
@@thejollyrancher6713 E minor
@@Justmeyes E minor is not a tuning. You mean E flat.
Just picked one up today and I also picked up the new orange bass terror amp to go with my ampeg 610... My normal set up is a ampeg svt 7 darkglass b7k. Dbx 231 eq .. I have practice tomorrow. 3 21 20. I'll give a update of both...
I would seriously consider this bass as the my dream P Bass. The only draw back is having to remove the neck to access the truss Rod. I'm the kind of player whom frequently makes adjustments for ehatever style of music I'm playing that month. I love the fact that it's a heavier body, paint job is beautiful, great binding, sweet maple 🍁 neck, those SDP-4 pickups sound tremendous I love the bass. If someone offered me a killer deal I'd get it but not for 1350.00 list price. That's absurd for a MIM P.
Nice review. Mostly playing, Steve Harris style. Congrats
Damn that bass sounds good and your playing is nice. The mirror pickguard is nice, but it attracts quite the finger grease.
The pickguard is the only thing I dislike on mine. I love everything else about it. It is quite heavy though.
I would love to own the royal blue version of this bass. I can’t find one anywhere
Cool bass! Great fits with this Garagebands Anders drummer :-)
VERY VERY NICE :)
do the fretboard and the rest of the neck have different finishes?
Good demo, overall. Needs to also be played with Steve's flats though.
Hi. Are the SPB 4 Steve Harris pickups more growly than the SPB 3 or the vintage SPB 1 ? Thanks
What strings are you using-roundwounds or flatwounds?
that chrome pickguard made me spazz in my chair
special request for the duff mckegan signature bass!
Could someone tell me what are the Iron Maiden riffs in this demo? of which songs? Thanks a lot!
your galloping technique is so good
Agreed. I’m impressed.
Am I mistaken or do the dials stay the same on all your demos? In the beginning they stayed mostly the same.
Y’all should do Nate Mendol’s P-Bass
One of the best pick players ever
Hi. What strings are you using? Thanks
How many watts and how many inches of amplifier is required to achieve this tone?
11 pounds from 8 pounds.. that’s more than a LITTLE heavier. Lol
I had 2 of these. Sold them both because they were back breakers. Last one weighed in at 12.5lbs on my postal scale..
Your playing is great. But ya gotta bring up those mids a little. Its all low rumble and treble clack
Where was it produced?
Christopher Dillon Mexico
Probably shouldn’t be asking this but, can you Motown with this PBass?
You can Motown with any P bass with the proper EQ adjustments, because the core tone is the same, but I wouldn't choose this particular bass for that purpose.
is it passive or active bass? thank you.
Passive
I want one and i dont even play
5.8kg🥵
Scares me a bit too. Bad disc in my back.
Steve H rocks but 11 lbs and that sticker... 😏 I’ll just stick the signature Seymour Duncans in my current Mexican P!
Would it be possible to demo it with flat and round wounds?
And lower the string height into the dirt like Steve does.
Doesn't Harris play flats?
@@GravyHucker yes, his rotosound signature strings are flats
@@GravyHucker steve has ONLY EVER played flats. There isnt a single album or even song without them.
Good to see Steve is loyal to his club through thick and thin good on him. Not many about nowadays.
Love the sound of this bass, but as a Leeds United supporter, I couldn't possibly buy one!
@matthew scoles That as well!!
Nice, I heard this bass has a fat neck, is that correct?
Not really any different than a standard P Bass neck.
Bassic Gear Review cool, thanks!
Nice review. But why not wear a Maiden shirt instead of Metallica?
Maybe casue that would be too much Maiden.
We tricked Josh and told him we were reviewing the Ron McGovney Signature Bass.
theres actually a really good explanation for that and its because who cares
@@TheBassChannel I corresponded with him on eBay about 15 years ago, he was selling an 80's p bass used on Kill em all
@@garyzito1860 Any idea what that P bass sold for?
Great demo, great playing, you rock ! Though honestly, this is by far the worst bass i've ever played. And Steve Harris is my bass playing hero. I am trying tho get one his Made in Japan sparkle blue signature basses with the chrome scratch plate but cannot find one anywhere. If anyone has one for sale, please hit me up.
I would buy this for the neck and the bridge put it on my black 69’
I’d Bet that your wife constantly has a smile on her face.
You've clearly got the skill that God (Steve Harris) bestowed upon you so play some Maiden for Christ's sake!!!
@matthew scoles shut up
@matthew scoles Stop being such a fucking nerd and be happy that you got this demo. The guy is good. If you only knew how bad steve plays live...

Misses every second note.
I go to Fender.com
roundwounds on that is blasphemy
Ese sonido ya trae efectos, probe ese bass y es bonito pero el sonido no es bueno...
Any old P bass will get you there
A lot of Steve's sound comes from his low action, and the inevitable fret noise, plus his choice of EQ, which is unusual for a bass player: bass lower than mids, treble high. He gets a very cutting sound, which isn't thought of as 'typical P bass'. You can get very close on any P bass - though obviously a bright-sounding one will be easier - and even on the neck pickup of a J bass. Adding flatwound strings and replacing them before they dull will get you even closer. The P bass is more flexible than its one pickup might suggest.
Aganlo para zurdos avemos bestias zurdas también
11 pounds 10 ounces?!!!!!!!! NO WAY IN HELL would i own that!!LOL
Come on...... The fat ones need love too!!
I love heavy basses. The thinner ones, nice quality basses mind you, just don't feel right to me. Feels like playing a guitar strung with bass strings with those sometimes. Normal P-bass weight is fine but heavier even better for me.
Wimp! ;-)
Make yourself stronger dude💪😡🤘...but seriously, everyone that owns one, says it's a heavy and massive instrument, and i don't know if it fits me, because and same as mr SH, i have a lower back injury now 😥
Mine weighed in at 12.5lbs,,,
active pickups, right?
No. This is fully passive.
Hell no. Passive P. Steve Harris man
Would not buy because of the West Ham badge
A heavy MiM P bass with football stickers and a ridiculous price tag. No thanks.
Is it being played through a silvertone tube guitar amp?......way too much distortion......I suspect the preamp section is set wrong.....
Same here: Maiden and La Steve particularly made me pick up the bass, but his sound is sort of an enigma and not only due to the instrument. I think we can all agree on that. The Precision must be the most boring and impractical bass I have ever tried. It is too big and its sound is outdated. Unless you're a fan of hybrids = signature versions. And even then...
1. There's no way a Precision sounds that crisp without fooling around with the amp. Bigtime !
2. Steve claims he's using flatwounds. I've tried flatwounds and they sound... errrr... flat. Once and never again. Unless you fool around with the amp. Bigtime ! Roundwounds sound waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more crisp default, so why would you use flats and compensate with the amp ?! Or by slapping harder ?!
It's all make believe. I sound way more Harris than Harris without this bass. And with other pick ups. And why would you want to sound like some one else ? I've been laughed at because I supposedly sounded like Steve, without me even trying to sound like him.
3. And then there's your body. Even your fingers make a difference. I used to play punkrock mayhem party shows of 3 hours and wind tape around my fingers. Just to prevent bleeding. But it also manipulated the sound. Its' all trickery. I love Steve and Maiden, but let's get real: there's more to the equation than just the instrument.
Steve's signature Rotosounds - which are supplied with this bass - are apparently unusually bright for flatwounds. He also replaces them before they dull, which most of us couldn't afford to do. As for 'fooling around with amp' - that's what the EQ is there for. The first few examples here you can see that the EQ is set flat. Then the later examples have a more Harris-like EQ: raised treble and mids. The SD pickup is probably also voiced for that sound.
Steve has a signature tone that can sound odd in isolation - like Lemmy's - but in a mix, or live, it fits perfectly with his band's sound - like Lemmy's.
Relax on that right hand. So you dont trip on your own fingers
The metallica shirt lowers the cred of the review :(
Speaker tone sounds awful, unusable!
The sound is not the same. Very bad
