Holding it down for UK metal titans Iron Maiden for over four decades, Steve Harris’s low-end licks are some of the most revered in metal, thanks is no small part to his Fender Precision Bass. Bearing homage to Steve’s favourite football club, West Hamm United F.C., the Fender Artist Steve Harris Precision Bass features the West Hamm crest and matching pinstripe body finish. Non-football related components include a dense two-piece body for improved articulation, Harris’ signature Seymour Duncan SPB-4 with a super-hot coil, a set of his Rotowound signature strings, as well as a dark-tinted headstock and high-mass bridge.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icon.
