Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass

Appreciate the input. I've been burned once before purchasing a bass that I could not play first and ended up being horrible. There are none available in local music stores, and I did not want to just pick one up sight unseen. I really appreciate the input. Thanks fellas. It will not by any means be my main instrument, just use for the iron maiden tribute case. As long as it is not a complete POS, and has good BOTTOM AND MIDRANGE tone and sustain throughout, I'll be happy. I am assuming the Duncan pick ups are passive.
 
Anyone play the Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass?

I thinking about getting one... What do you think of them?
I own both signature Harris basses. The blue Japanese and the white Mexican. Both are unbelievable in fit and finish. So choose one and grab it up I say. I prefer the white Mexican. The pick ups are better as are the round wound strings that come with it. The big fat Fender bridge along with Steve's signature pick ups makes this bad ass a smoking great deal. In fact if my other basses were not a Fender blue Steve Harris model, A Warwick Thumb, and a US Gibson I would sacrifice them all for the white Mexican Fender. No doubt best quality and sound. (except for the Warwick perfection)! But remember its like carrying around your kid sister all day or daughter maybe. They are all Maple and extremely heavy!!!!!!!
