RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 My fave version of the attitudes. Best colour IMHO.Trades?
karlfer Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Vic, I've linked this on the Facebook Yamaha Attitudes page which is global. If you want it taken down just let me know. Now, hurry up and sell it before I do something daft, yet again
TorVic Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks Karl. Ray -no trades (unless Sandberg), thanks.

TorVic Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Hi, I have to find a weighing scale but meanwhile, this page indicates the weight of the LTD III at [color=#5C5C5C][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]8lb, 4kg[/size][/font][/color]. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_Billy_Sheen_LTD_3.html This one would be very close to that.
fretmeister Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I had an Attitude 3 that was 12 lb (5.4 kg). They vary so much that I would not use figures from a different instrument.
fretmeister Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Have you got an accurate weight yet? I am interested but it really depends on the weight.
TorVic Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) ~4.58 kg / ~10.1 lb (weighed on a portable scale with the bass hung from a light strap) Edited August 1, 2015 by TorVic
andy67 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Good luck mate! That's a lot of bass and priced to sell! Andy
leemarseillebass Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 For what it's worth everyone should experience this bass. It's phenomenal in every way - it almost forces you to play better, dig deeper, try harder and works your ligaments. Yeah, maybe some do 'struggle with the neck' but as the man himself says - 'it's a strength instrument'.... you're not supposed to be all casual and expect resounding sounds - right? Someone buy this for the bargain price it is! Treat yourself - Xmas is coming and if you're proud of what you do this amazing instrument will zone your spotlight far stronger than anything else - Lee.
TorVic Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for that Lee. The neck on this bass is more maligned than it deserves. I think the biggest influencing factor of the feel, the play-ability of a bass is the neck. Having owned more than two dozen basses, this one has a unique neck with great intonation, low action, superior stability - all in all, great play-ability. The pickup configuration provides both variety and a good home tone. It doesn't get better for a P-bass style bass. I've decided to hold on to this one - I doubt I will get another bass with such a great combination. Thanks to all who joined this thread. Cheers and good luck!
TorVic Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks to Rick for reopening this thread. This bass is back on sale as I need to move something out and I won't be using this much.
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Is the neck similar to a telecaster neck ? Possibly daft question I know, but I don't like precisions either. Have a bump anyway, as unless I offload something, I cannot afford to buy right now
Henrythe8 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Can't seem to find the info, what is the nut width on this baby ? How "fat" is it ? Warwick Fat Neck Fat ?
TorVic Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 The neck width is the same as a Precision - 43mm / 1.69" / 1-11/16" (I measured it.) Regarding the thickness, it is not as fat or rounded or thick as a Warwick neck (one of their new Ovangkol necks). In the video, Billy mentions that it is modeled on the 68 Tele bass neck but I've never tried that so I can't say how close it is to that. I don't own a standard Precision so I don't how they compare. I do have a Precision 60th Anniv. bass which is a slightly slimmer Precision neck and the Attitude is not much thicker than that.
TorVic Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Thanks MB1 for reopening this topic. I held on to this for long despite multiple offers and enquiries via PM here on BC. I have notified all those people via PM before relisting it here. I now need to sell it now to compensate for a lot of recent purchases - no trades please. The price is updated to reflect the changed exchange rate between the GBP and Euro. Cheers. Edited September 20, 2016 by TorVic
karlfer Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Fabulous, versatile basses that rarely come up for sale. Great guy to deal with, Vic makes a European deal very easy. Might be a good while before another comes up so might be an idea to get in quickly
rhysyjob Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 An awesome bass at a fair price. Thumbs up.
ern500evo Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Damn! GAS attack! Love the LTD II in that colour.
