He`s had so many Fender P`s it`d be hard to say, but I do know his main white one with a black pick guard is an American with SPB-3 bassline pups.

If I recall correctly, his white soccor team bass is the one he has had for years. He just keeps getting it refinished. It was the LPB bass before. I think it's an early 70's P-Bass.

I was just wondering because I have the 2009 Sig and It feels like a very good quality Instrument. I play in a Maiden Tribute and was going to build a second Harris model like the white one. I think he uses SPB-1.

Pretty sure it's a '72 American

It's an early 70's MIA black P. It was refinished in metalic blue when Maiden were recording their 3rd album and white in the early 90's. The pickup is the Quarter Pounder.

It's a 1970. It was white before the blue sparkle. He's holding it on that famous SOUNDS cover (Killers era, below right).

The black & white checkered one is a '59. He uses Lados for recording sometimes and I think the black one is an Ibanez. He uses badass bridges, flatwoud strings and loads of compression.
