Anyone else think he should go back to the blue P-bass? The white one he's been playing for the past few years looks cool and all but I want to see Harris playign a blue bass dammit!

Yep, P bass..nuthin' but!

He used to play with two Peavey Mrk III heads..back in the day..which is seen on the back cover on Killers..

They wern't bad heads at the time for the dough..I had two myself.

that IS the blue bass.. the one that he plays 99.9% of the time.

he cant go back to the blue bass, cos he is playing it all the time

he has fender P bases, a jazz bass, a lado unicorn or WTF that bass was and a guild acoustic bass.. the lado is retired, the jazz bass FAIK is used on records for chord work, the acoustic bass gets the remaining 0.1% of playtime

Didnt he play LADO basses fro a short time as well?

and ibanez during the number of the beast. there are some pics of him with a white roadstar bass.

that whilte P-bass is the blue one, that was flat black before that, which was white before that. he's had that P-bass forever!!!

Really? Then why is it the last 5 times I've seen Maiden he's played the White bass, not the Blue one?

beacuse the blue bass was refinished/restored in the fender custom shop and turned into the white bass.

blue bass/white bass = the same bass...just painted a different color

they can do that?!? The mind boggles....

[ChickenScratch]

I was not aware it was the same bass, I stand corrected. It's not easy to recognize it as the old bass when its refinished and you are out in the crowd headbanging.

Given how intense he is onstage, I'm sure that bass has taken quite a pounding--probably has needed a lot of work over the years.
