Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (Bass Only) [Studio Version]

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Original master (isolated) bass track from the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son song. Enjoy and learn from the master Steve Harris. \m/

[@NelsonMontana1234]

What a killer tone. It allows him to play those power chords that fatten up the rhythm section without getting muddy.

[@borizh]

Incredible how Steve’s mind works. Somewhat simple bass line to create such an epic song. Up the Irons!

[@juliosmith]

I find to be funny how some guys think they are machine-like musicians, yes it does get sloppy sometimes but thats part of the magic, love to hear each of the instruments separately. Thanks for the video dude!

[@MrPeabody67]

Bass power cords are fucking hard in the middle of a galop. This actually sounds pretty good

[@chrisrobinson-cj6tq]

You must be an amateur or not a musician at all! No way the sound engineer would put up with this!

[@gavinvalentino6002]

I know it's a year later, but I want to know what the Hell you"re talking about. I've got years of experience driving consoles in live and studio settings, and even if I didn't know this was Steve Harris, I would still be happy to put it in the mix. It's not like the bass was recorded first for everything else to follow... this track is obviously being played over guitars and at minimum a clicktrack in Steve's headphones. The way the bass is played is right at home with evrrything else going on in the song.

[@joshbaker729]

I don’t think anybody will ever be as good as Steve Harris.

[@jesumistro4771]

8:51 - 9:51 In my opinion this is the best part

[@rodolfoborges7802]

Steve is a god.

Steve harris siempre sera uno de los mejores bajistas del heavy metal, siempre estando ahi, tomando el control en maiden, dando ese sonido místico alas canciones de maiden, dando siempre lo mejor, steve es el que le da ese sonido icónico de la banda, el maestro de maestros, mi bajista favorito

[@01Gens]

Love how kids think that all metal stars play perfect and shit :))) yes it is Harris and he play like that, go check every Maiden bass track.

[@danielerikschaller4775]

Getting THAT SSOASS studio album bass sound cost me 3.500 EUR 🙈 But it's totally worth it 🎸

[@rubencastro8243]

La tecnica es mover la muñeca a la vez que los 2 dedos para que suene así

[@rodolfoborges7802]

Hey man, do you have the isolated keyboard tracks from maiden? I would love to hear them and use it on my cover band! Thank you!

[@aarondavis4341]

Is it me or does Steve use the same root note for all his baselines,hearing them like this they sound real similar overall,either way Steve Harris is a bass master

[@Joseph_Klein]

Standar E minor and E C D chords progresion

[@stoneagearcher3477]

Most old is Maiden E D C

[@francescocicogna4626]

Who know how to set the bass like him? So that you can play so soft and hitting the neck so easily? I've tried many times to set my basses the lowest as possible, but it never had the same sound...

[@murilokr7]

as it did to isolate the bass of the original version???

[@MrPeabody67]

Guitar or rockband isolated track as part of the game's programming.

[@24477p]

Thanks!

[@jamesbailey2377]

One gets a little tired of hearing how "sloppy" Steve Harris' bass playing is. "Sloppy" implies that the guy is trying to play "properly" (whatever the hell that is supposed to be) but just can't manage it. He sets up his bass a particular way and plays with his particular technique to produce exactly the sound that he ends up getting. He has stated on many occasions the importance of his bass sound in the overall song mix. If he wanted to play like some Juilliard jack-a-napes he surely could and would. He made his own sound and seems to have done rather well for himself with it.

[@mekelpekelekel1298]

Yeah it may be a bit sloppy, but that's what makes him the best

[@youtert]

There's no low end.

[@Eastlight3D]

Maybe buy better speakers, I clearly hear a low end on my monitors.

[@DenverStarkey]

@@Eastlight3D i know i'm late to the party but yeah , youtert is just a moron. running 200 watt klipsch promedia 2.1's myself and the low end is phenominal on them considering the lowest note on a standard 4 string bass guitar is only 41 hz. most cheap sub systems only fire the woofer at 30 hz or lower hence the term sub (my set fires the woofer at any sound below 80 hz {the upper mid range of a bass guitar} ). thing is a bass guitar's notes and range doesn't actually line up with a stand up bass's (the instrument that bass guitar replaced in modern music ). a bass guitar's notes actually line up with a low-mid cello. making it a not-quite-"sub" bass instrument. as far as stringed instruments go its more mid ended , just in modern music it is the lowest tuned instrument used so you got to get really good speaker set to for it to fire the woofer off.

@@pallo75 It's neither out of tune or out of timing. Steve Harris always had the same "dirty" sound due to using flatwound strings and low action, high treble.

@@bethharrxs4577 what kind of strings does Harris use? Because I will tell you. A bassist who plays those type of strings can 100% hear that these arent them. So, thank you for your decades of expertise.

[@bethharrxs4577]

@@iamalpharius9483 uhmm... I don't have decades but, I actually have the p bass harris' signature (the white one with the WH logo, for you to know) and with the bass I bought his signature strings, the complete 'harris' pack', except for his ampli, like 2 years ago aand my boyfriend actually play bass since 8 years ago, almost a decade hehehehe, so I kinda KNOW about basses and specially harris' sound. But thank YOU for your information! Oh, I left a comment below saying I doubted about this being steve too, and I have good reasons, not only the strings shit, it's because I KNOW harris' playing more than I know myself, when I said this was 100% steve I didn't hear even half of it yet. But, that's not your problem and I don't have to explain shit to you actually... bye.

[@bethharrxs4577]

@@iamalpharius9483 pls tell me what 'kind of strings' he uses, no, tell me exactly WHAT strings, because I literally have my old packaging in my room and I would like to know :) and I want you to tell me the equalization and the exact tuning of harris' (without google please). Cause some bass technicians (with decades of expertise) check my bass 2 or three times per year to make sure the exactly sound is there and is calibrated and tuned right. So, my bass kinda sound exactly like steve's all the time. (If I used any words in a bad way, it's because English isn't my first language, but, come on we the expert musicians understand each other in any language don't we? :))
