karlfer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) The Purple one, based on the Attitude Ltd 11, but with Phenolic fretboard, colour matched neck and headstock. Images of Billy's fingerprints as markers on the fretboard. Di Mazio Willpowers etc, Anybody reading this knows what the specs are on these powerful basses. Very high quality basses. This is No 142 of 300 made. I took this in exchange for an Attitude LTD 1, hoping the nut might be slightly narrower on this one, but it's still 44.5mm, too wide for me to play at any speed, so it's up for sale or trade. Truly superb condition with only 2 very tiny dinks on the headstock. Sorry about photo's, only got a mobile. Original hardcase included, but that IS battered! One on the Bay now at staring price £1200, one sold couple of months back for £1100. So, this is a Special of a Special, £850 collected please, plus happy for buyer to sort own courier. Please have a look at my feedback. No hurry, adore the versatility of sound, and the power, but just a touch wide on the nut. Any questions fire away. Cheers, Karl. The link after the photos should opern in Adobe, and give you a nice representation of the purple-ness of the bass.

Stockholm Syndrome Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Oh man, that is really sweet. Very flamboyant (a good thing in my book) I don't remember how the wiring works on these basses; do you have to have it stereo connected for both pickups to work?

Stockholm Syndrome Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I see you have some trades listed, which pretty much fall under the "traditional basses" label. I guess you won't have any interest in a trade for my Warwick 2002 LTD edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have one of these. Awesome and hilarious in equal measure! Of the 300, weren't half black and half purple? Have a bumpski anyhow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockholm Syndrome Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Listened to Mr. Big's latest all last night, makes me really want this. With the Caveman producing an album, you know it will come out sounding great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1324223283' post='1471982'] Yup, Yamaha say 150 Purple, 150 Black, both sparkly metallic colours. Reduced to £850 this week only, after that it will be withdrawn (on the Bay until Thurs night at start £900) Karl [/quote] This was definitely the limited edition! My recollection is Billy got no. 1. Extremely rare and difficult to get a hold of these days and in my view a real collectors piece. If only I had the cash ... ... ... ... good luck andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey Karl, Before you completely rule out the Steve Harris bass ... the nut width becomes irrelevant due to the shallow neck - back to front. It is based on a 57 precision so if you get a chance try a Mexican classic 50's pbass, it'll give you an idea if you can play it or not because it is nowhere near the 'baseball bat' proportions of the attitude neck. The 57 is real slim, fast and easy to play. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm Syndrome Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1324574982' post='1475857'] Well, thing is Mr Syndrome, of the deals I have been offered, none have been quite right sadly. Jan from the Netherlands is still very tempting with his Steve Harris though. Nobody has said "I'll send you a £50 deposit will you hold it until January?" etc. When it finishes tonight on Evil Bay, it won't be re-listed and it will be withdrawn from here (usual loads of watchers, no bids). It will still be for sale if somebody emails me in a few weeks though. Have a great Christmas and New year and thanks for the offers, interest and bumps. All the best, Karl. [/quote] Thanks, I'll keep that in mind Merry christmas indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If i gave you £50 could you hold it till had money in 2020? Karl is a guy you can buy in confidence from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1324970478' post='1478765'] I was asked for a sound clip. Attached below. About 2 minutes in is how these CAN be played [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j8Jl4LAQjA[/media] [/quote] Making great progress then Karl! Any chance of making tabs for it, you'd be a hero (Kidding! Though i've forgotten most of it, so we'll be doing the same thing haha! ) BUMP for an amazing bass, and a great guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Are you looking for passive trades only? I'd like to offer my black and maple 2eq ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockholm Syndrome Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Another reason why this is so tempting ATM is that the Swedish SEK is strong right now. The GBP has lost more than a third of it's usual value in just 2-3 years. It is always hard to sell things around christmas, since everyone is short on cash.

Must admit, it will be back on the road this Saturday night at the 1st of our 36 (thus far) gigs of this year. Karl. [/quote] And there was me all set to turn up at the Station on Friday night!!! Oh well, no doubt catch you later in the year, in the meantime good luck with the sale Karl! Edited January 5, 2012 by tony_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
