Steve Harris recalls the search for his bass sound
Steve Harris kept returning to the Fender Precision after trying other basses. A Guitar World article drawing on a Bass Player interview revisits his early instruments, the weight of his favourite Precisions and his reasons for passing over Gibson Thunderbird and Lado basses. Harris describes wanting a tight low end and enough treble to be heard alongside the guitars. Guitar World does not date the original conversation; the piece reads as archive material.
