The UK retail price is £1,140.

Probably gonna be cheaper in the U.S., everything usually is compared to the UK!!

Awesome set of specs! Medium jumbos on a vintage radius C width maple neck?!? Bridge and Pup upgrades? Freakin' awesome.

I'm still holding out hope that Fender wakes up and starts importing the Fender Japan 70-78 US P bass model (the one that looks like Sid's bass). (HINT, HINT, HINT!!!!!!!!!) :wink:

Otherwise this baby might have to be my new back up for my 78 P. Very impressive. I expect a killer review form the guys with one already on order!

Looks ok, but why don't they put out one that looks like the one he's using these days? I wonder how much these things are going to cost?

They cost about $1200. It would be a lot more if they did a reasonable facsimilie of the white bass with the two tone piping. The blue sparkle bass is more iconic anyway since that's the color it was throughout Maiden's high point. All their best albums came out during that period. This one makes more sense.

Some things I don't understand:

What's a little moon thing? Eddie? If so, you're probably looking for a different bass.

Also, some say the first version was better.
How?

The old one was made of basswood. Steve's isn't made of basswood. Cheap Asian instruments (and overpriced Bongos) are made of basswood.

The old one was a stock Fender color with a red pickguard. I've been an Iron Maiden fan for a long time and I've never seen Steve Harris play anything that looked like that. How is that more of a signature instrument than this new one? Is it because it's (almost) the colors of his favorite soccer team that no one outside of London, 99.9% of whom aren't bass players, cares about? Is it the moon thingy that's also not on his bass?

The only thing I take issue with on the new one is the spaghetti logo on what's supposed to be a '70s bass, but that's not too big a deal. I like the C neck it's on better than a period correct B.
