lushuk Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hi saw one of these today in the flesh/wood today, claimed to be on of the first in this country, glittery blue and silver plate and no West Ham sticker ... nice [url="http://namm.harmony-central.com/SNAMM01/Content/Fender/PR/Harris-P-Bass-large.jpg"]http://namm.harmony-central.com/SNAMM01/Co...-Bass-large.jpg[/url] If you like that sort of thing! £1099 of your hard earned, made in Japan, which is strange I thought!

rjb Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Looks better with the Hammers colours, IMHO. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 The Blue is nice. Reminiscent of the bass/es used on the 84/85 World Slavery Tour, most notably at the Long Beach Arena (LA) gigs recorded for the Live After Death LP/CD/Video. Don't really like the WHU Liveried ones he uses... Quote
geilerbass Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Dave Murray's signature Strat is also 'Maiden' ( ) Japan - maybe they prefer Japanese-made Fenders. I've heard that a lot of people do... Quote
thedontcarebear Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Didn't they make a signature bass for him years ago? Quote
Tee Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 The first one has the signature on the front of the headstock, while the Andertons one (and the spec on the Andertons) has the signature on the back of the headstock. Quote

johnnylager Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 This is quite irritating as it the only P I would ever buy and now it's available again. KSD Jazz anyone? Quote

cetera Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Fancy one of these but the price has always been over the top. Hmmmm....this model is different from the last sig model he had a few years back..... that one had a basswood body... I wonder what his 'actual' bass is? Alder I presume... Quote

WHUFC BASS Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 No West Ham Sticker??? In the words of Catherine Tate... [b]WHAT A f***in' LIBERTY!! [/b] Quote
Buzz Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Well, the one in the OP is the old version of his sig bass. New version: [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0252602350"]http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0252602350[/url] Mirror pickguard? Better in Hammer colours. Quote
RichValentine Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) It is a nice looking bass, it might just be me but I can't see how they justify the price increase for what seems to be a MIJ P Bass with some Duncans and a Badass. Edited January 16, 2009 by RichValentine Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Looks great until the last 2 inches of the headstock, if I had that money I'd buy the Stu Hamm II Urge. Quote
sykilz Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Love the bass,doesn`t `Arry usually have the mirrored scratch plate tho`? Still have it if the funds were there tho`......... Quote

sykilz Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 DOH!!! The pic in the link in the 1st post looks like a black pickguard, must be the angle it`s shot at, the fender website one is obvious innit!!!??? Still a mighty wedge of cash though. Quote
big cat Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Always be reluctant to use a signature mode. Doesn't feel like ur own bass Quote
lushuk Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Comes with flats as standard but only a gig bag ..... no hard case for a grand!!! shocking Quote
budget bassist Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Christ... You'd be expecting a hard case at that price point really.. Quote
BigRedX Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Basically though it's just a CIJ P-bass with about £100 of after-market parts and some scribble on the headstock. Quote
