If you can point out where, exactly I called you dishonest, I will apologise unreservedly All I did was point out the 150 per colour thing was misleading by what I saw and what Yamaha said directly to me, when I bought one of these brand new in 1992 and also to call into question why you posted the price of a MK3 against your MKI NEVER did I say you were dishonest, this is the internet, you need to read it twice

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1320418279' post='1426668'] I called Yamaha a few years ago in order to source one and I did ask them about the 150 + 150. They said to me that this was per country not overall. Nevertheless, these are fantastic instruments and given the price of the new mk3 £2499, I believe £1000 a great price for an instrument of this quality. Also if we were discussing the price of a 20 year old Fender Jazz we wouldn't even quibble about the hefty price mark. [/quote] Agreed, I didn't call into question the amount the seller wanted for the bass, merely that you shouldn't compare a MK3 price to a MKI bass, bit like comparing the price of a MK4 Cortina to a Focus

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1320385916' post='1426131'] Telling you this because I was under the impression that if you wanted a NEW Attitude, that is what you would have to pay. Didn't realise some of the old, discontinued, possibly demo models were still available. Regarding the Attitude 11, there are a LOT more of those made as they ran (according to Yamaha) from 1993 to 2010, so they are NOTHING like as rare as the Attitude 1, only 150 blue and 150 red ever being made (apart from Billy's 2 prototypes). Karl. [/quote] I wouldn't put too much trust in Yamaha's word about the 150 of each thing, I phoned them in 1992 after seeing photo's of the factory and crates of thousands of necks,many were LTD necks, I asked them "Just how Limited is this bass", to which the reply was "Limited to how many we can sell"

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1320356864' post='1425921'] GAK have the current model (Attitude Ltd 111) in at £2369. Forgot to mention, these are BY FAR the most powerful pick ups I have ever used. [/quote] Not sure why you're telling us this, as you have a LTD 1, GAK also have the LTD II for £1599 which is much closer to your model I had one of these MK I's brand new in 1992 £1200, didn't keep it long, had a bad one, once I sorted it, it was terrific though
