Description
Let us introduce you to the Fender Limited Edition Iron Maiden 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass in Satin Black.
As Iron Maiden celebrate their landmark 50th Anniversary, they stand as one of heavy metal’s most influential and enduring forces since forming in East London in 1975. Seen as pioneering the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the band reached new heights with their unmistakable sound and theatrical performances. Their signature style features galloping bass lines, multi-guitar harmonies and operatic vocals, while their omnipotent figurehead “Eddie” has evolved to become one of metal’s most enduring cultural icons. Selling over 100 million records across 17 studio albums, Iron Maiden has built a devoted global following – a testament to their five-decade legacy of shaping metal’s evolution.
Steve Harris’ dynamic basslines have made him one of the most influential metal bassists alive. Harris has stayed true to his battle-hardened Fender® Precision Bass® over the years, and his new 50th Anniversary signature model now comes in an elegant Satin Black finish with an all-maple neck and body with complementing mirrored pickguard. Other ironclad features include a powerful Precision split P Bass pickup, Fender® Vintage Precision Bridge, Fender® round-wound strings and Harris’ signature on the back of the headstock. A set of Rotosound® Steve Harris Signature flat-wound strings are included in the gig bag.
Maple Body
Commanding clarity meets precision power – the maple body delivers exceptional articulation for Harris’ signature heavy basslines, providing distinctly defined tonal character that traditional alder or ash simply can’t match.
Satin Black Finish with All Maple Neck
Wrapped in a stealthy Satin Black finish with an all-maple neck, this bass captures Harris’ preference for clean aesthetics and superior playability.
7.25″ Radius Maple Fingerboard with 20 Jumbo Frets
The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides an authentic vintage feel, while jumbo frets provide enhanced playability for fast runs up and down the neck.
Fender Precision Split P-Bass Pickup
Serving up pure powerhouse tone with big low end and detailed mids, this Fender® Precision split P Bass® pickup provides players with a fat, balanced tone with clear highs and defined lows that cut through any mix.
Vintage-Styled Bridge
A vintage-style four-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles provides solid tuning stability and precise intonation with instantly recognisable vintage tone and feel.
50th Anniversary Neck Plate
Each guitar bears a limited-edition Iron Maiden 50th anniversary neck plate carrying a piece of metal history, commemorating five decades of groundbreaking music that has inspired generations of musicians and fans worldwide.
