Has anyone played a '57 side by side with a Steve Harris? Are the necks similar? My Harris bass has ruined me for other basses. They just don't feel the same.

I thought SH's actual bass was a mid-70's P, IIRC.

I'm curious of that too....

It is. It just so happens to have a maple 2x4 bolted onto it.

Totally agree. It's the best bass I've ever played. Heavy, chunky and huge tone. Great with any genre.

Every '70s P I've played (including my own) has that gigantic neck.

I would love to try one
