Harris is among the most recognizable bassists in heavy metal, and Loudwire named him the best hard rock and metal bassist of all time. Iron Maiden has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide over a career built on its live performances.
Harris tours with 12-inch EVM-12L Black Label speakers, freshly loaded into 4x12 Marshall cabinets for the run. The EVM-12L has stayed in service since its introduction in 1983, with a heavy-duty design known for high power handling and stability at extreme volumes.
“Even before the early days of Iron Maiden, I experimented with a variety of speaker models and different configurations, ranging from 10", 12" and 15" for my bass cabinets. Upon my initial experience with the EVM-12L, I was instantly struck by the crisp, powerful sound and knew immediately that it was the right fit for me.”
