Maiden!

What makes him so amazing IMHO, is his ability to do it at tempos in the 160-200bpm range FOR HOURS.

Not only that the gigantic flatwounds he plays on. I had a set of Steve Harris Strings on my bass for a couple years and I was starting to think I didn't like my bass. Put a set of Chromes on and realized that it was just those SH strings. You have to have extremely strong hands to play like Steve does with those strings.
