bartelby Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I've been wanting one of these ever since I got hold of Live After Death and saw the photos of Steve with his. After 24, or so, years mine arrived today. [attachment=46107:DSC_1312.JPG] I can't wait to play it loud but next band practice is 9 days away!

bartelby Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's really nice and so easy to play! Heavy though, 1/4 of a pound heavier than my 35" scale Ibanez 5 string!! Cue the purchase of another 3.75" soft leather strap...

bartelby Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Managed a couple of detail shots before the battery died in my camera: Headstock front and back [attachment=46161:DSC_1307.JPG] [attachment=46162:DSC_1322.JPG] Badass II bridge, and this gives you a decent idea of the finish. Close up it looks like Lake Placid Blue with a blue metal flake. [attachment=46163:DSC_1318.JPG] For some reason the SH sig. strings on this feel different to the SH sig. strings on my Squier Precision...

Hot Tub Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 That is gorgeous. You do of course realise that you're gonna spend the rest of your days keeping that scratchplate shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Very nice indeed. I like the maple against that body colour and I should have shares in Badass the way I heap praise on them. Will it buy me a pint of Guiness in the White Horse , Wakefield like the real Steve Harris did?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone else with a P can give a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 its meant to be a bit heavier with a thick chunky neck and heavier body than standard precisions, major GAS here excuse the stupid question, is this the older one, lake placid blue or the new one, which is Royal Blue? Older one has an SPB-3 the newer ones an SPB-1 just asking! thanks, AC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 It's a new one. Royal Blue Metallic with an SPB-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
