Ok, at a interview a Maidenfans.com, this prooves he plays only 2 fingers!

With how many fingers do you play,and do you have any tips for a young fellow bass player(me)?
Igor
Split, Croatia

Two and only play when you feel like it. Don't force it!

Steve, along with Bob Daisley, is my favorite metal bass player. His bass lines (and songwriting) are just so awesome!

Dude..sorry to correct you, but Steve only uses TWO fingers.

It sounds like three, but it's only two. He's an awesome player with a very excellent command of the instrument and fine tuned technique.

However, on a personal note, I play with three fingers myself (right hand) and all four on my left.

Cheers!

Absolutely correct Embellisher!

I think this is in my profile, but in case y'all don't read it.

Steve Harris made me want to play bass. Anthony Wellington makes me want to be a better musician.

I think the galloping sound to many people makes it 'sound' like three.

Steve Harris has a disease...hope it never gets cured!

Disease: MUSIC!

I've always been impressed with metal players...so precise, and blnding speed and still melodic. I can't do it.
