Mattpt85 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Lovely Bass, it looks like someone has scalloped the last fret, it would be interesting to see how well that has been done. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-BASS-GUITAR-BILLY-SHEEHAN-Attitude-4-string-bass/191508465776?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D92ee072932f8493f83f10241a203f200%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D111433360043 Quote
Truckstop Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Looks awesome! Shame the De-Tuner's black though Quote
Mattpt85 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 A black de-tuner is my next purchase, all the bits on my attitude are black Quote
Dood Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 The second I saw the picture I thought something wasn't right about it - but the owner says lower down. It's not an official Sheehan model. The attitude was offered in non-signature models (including a 5 string) and this standard version has been 'upgraded' it seems. Actually, still a very nice bass without the Sheehan mods. Quote
karlfer Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 1995 Attitude Special. Slimmer nut width at around 40 mm (unlike the 44.5 baseball bats on "proper" Attitude Ltd's (1,11,111,). Original spec on this compared to the LTD'S, no scallops, no de tuner, no twin outputs, Yamaha pups instead of Di Marzio's. 5000 made, one year of production only, 1995. Around 1200 made of each of 4 colours, most of which never left the Far East. Although these were the "cheap" version of the LTD, they still retailed at £600 in 1995. I sold mine a year or two back, after doing over 200 gigs with it. The owner before me did 400+ gigs with it. She can be seen in my avatar. This one on FEEBay, pick ups are not original, somebody has tried to scallop one section of the board and given up. The de-tuner is after market and will come up for sale after I BUY IT Quote

My lego avatars green bass is modelled on the very same attitude you once owned, which is currently well loved and used. Quote
Weststarx Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I would have had that in an instant if it didnt look so battered! Quote
karlfer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 You can hammer nails in with these basses. Or drummers heads. Or lippy punters heads. Quote
