Made me giggle a little bit. The dude got half of it right...

"SAME BASS USED BY STEVE HARRIS OF AC/DC CIRCA 1980."



That's why they sound so similar!!!

not really ever a major fan of but ...........

i thought ac/dc's bassist played a fender p .........????????

(yes, like steve harris.)

just goes to show you how full of baloney people out there are. this is a nice bass already and didnt need a line of b.s. to sell it.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the same bass that Steve Harris used for the Run To The Hills video, only his is black.

And I don't recall ever seeing Cliff Williams with one of these, but I could be wrong.

geeze ... run to the hills video ... i dont think i seen that in 15+ years.

i mighta seen it and just diddnt retain that info. the only other bass i'de notably seen harris play other than a p was a spector. its on the inside of one of the cd's ... piece of mind maybe?

To be honest MadMike, I'm not sure if Steve Harris played a Spector or not. But here's a little something to take you back 15 years.

Yeah that's a bona-fide Ibanez Roadster, the predecessor to the Roadstar. Made from '80 to '82. I love the look of them...very classy to say the least. I'll bet they're heavy, though. The Studio and Musician basses from that area feel like they're made out of brick. Sound and play incredible, though! Those DiMarzio knockoff pickups are pretty crankin'. Pretty clean (although they know how to push an amp) and pretty loud.
