Run to the Hills — and Straight to Sonic Glory

Built for run-to-the-hills intensity, the Fender 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass melds battle-hardened P Bass attitude with thunderous sonic firepower. You’ll revel in the contoured comfort provided by this axe’s premium maple body, which is joined to a chunky U-shape maple neck with a 7.25-inch-radius maple fingerboard — the perfect recipe for all manner of dexterous bottom-end senjutsu. Armed with this electric bass guitar, you’ll be well-equipped to powerslave through a full-blown stampede of galloping bass lines, by virtue of a muscular split-coil P Bass pickup. Moreover, the 50th Anniversary Steve Harris P Bass is primed for dance-of-death delivery, courtesy of a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge, reinforced by rock-solid ’70s-style tuning machines. Finally, you get a spotlight-ready Satin Black finish, strikingly contrasted by a gleaming mirrored pickguard. For five decades, Steve Harris’s P Basses have fueled Iron Maiden’s legendary low-end assault. Now, with this limited-edition 50th Anniversary model, you can command that iconic tone, sublime feel, and unmistakable look. Don’t wait for the final frontier — grab the Fender 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass, claim your piece of metal history, and put this beast center stage in your arsenal.

Somewhere in time, every note feels right

The 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass bears all the hallmarks of a traditional P Bass, primed for aces-high performance. Its all-maple construction comprises a classic P Bass body, complemented by a substantial U-shape neck with a sleek, gloss urethane finish. Furthermore, the 20-fret, 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard offers vintage-style playability guaranteed to anchor your bass lines with Maiden-worthy precision. Beyond that, the 50th Anniversary Steve Harris P Bass features a stellar assemblage of rock-solid hardware, including a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge, bolstered by rock-solid ’70s-style, stamped open-gear tuning machines. Many bassists here at Sweetwater like to manhandle our instruments, so we need hardware that can take punishment. We’re happy to report that the 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass delivers on all fronts.

Number of the Beast-level performance

From “Prowler” to “Hell on Earth,” the Fender 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass’s split-coil P Bass pickup is ready to deliver galloping bass lines that echo through metal history. This pickup yields a smooth, warm tone with an even string response. Moreover, it exhibits an extra helping of midrange, which helps it cut through and sit comfortably within any mix. Complete with a standard P Bass control layout, the 50th Anniversary Steve Harris Precision Bass can handle the evil that men do — and a whole lot more.

Iron Maiden: 50 years of iron will

As Iron Maiden marks their monumental 50th anniversary, they remain one of heavy metal’s most influential and enduring forces. Formed in East London in 1975, the band spearheaded the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement and has continued to redefine the metal genre with their unmistakable sound and electrifying stagecraft ever since. Their signature arsenal — galloping bass lines, soaring twin-guitar harmonies, and operatic vocals — has become the blueprint for generations of metal acts. Of course, at the heart of their mythology stands “Eddie,” a cultural icon whose evolution mirrors the band’s relentless creativity. With over 100 million albums sold across 17 studio releases, Iron Maiden’s global following is a testament to five decades of metallic mastery and an unwavering commitment to shaping the metal genre.
