Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Driven by necessity, up for sale is my Yamaha Attitude II 10th Anniversary Billy Sheehan Signature. Yes. It's Purple. #28 of 300 in this colour There were also 300 in black. Billy owns #001. purchased it new in 2003. The various online Yamaha dating resources don't seem to work with the serial number. That said, the plate on the back says April 2000, so I'll go with that... The fit, finish and build quality are exemplary, (Made in Japan) and it's in very good condition, having seen only rehearsal, studio and home use. It's never been dropped or dinged. All original except I've fitted Schaller strap locks in place of the original buttons. Technically, it's all good; 3x Gotoh tuners 1x Hipshot (Genuine, not licensed) detuner on the "E" DiMarzio Will power pickups wound to Sheehan's specs. Phenolic resin fretboard with scalloped upper frets for those of you that like to bend. Maple neck under all that purple, and there's an Alder body in there somewhere, too. It's passive and the two outputs can be twinned. Controls are V (neck) Tone (neck) and mid-cut the last one is V for the "P" pick up plus it twins and separates the outputs. Currently strung with Elixir Steels in .045 .065 .80 .100 Comes with its original case and corresponding key. Collection only from my home address in Essex, please, but at least you'll get to try it! Any questions, fire away! Edited November 7, 2018 by Lfalex v1.1 Dating information / price in title/price drop 4
Jaco Pastasciutta Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 I've tried the Black version, the digital print on the fingerboard are the most funny thing i've seen on a bass ! The most beautiful Attitude !
Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 The marker fingerprints are supposedly Billy Sheehan's... Which is great. I clean all my fingerprints off, and his are still there! 🙄

bassfan Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Lovely looking bass. I don’t know much about these. What’s the plate covering under the strings?
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 The plate covers the neck pick-up. It's a Gibson-style humbucker, manufactured by DiMarzio to Billy's specifications. It's actually brighter-sounding than you'd expect.

I know the aesthetics may not be to everyone's taste, but there's a really good instrument in there, too, especially if you can capitalize on the two outputs in a live setting (through the PA) or in a studio (which I've tried)
gilmar Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Hello budy, how are you? Sorry to ask, but the bass would have: certificate, invoice, tags anyway, all the paperwork too? would this be important to me too? thank you very much!

Sorry, it didn't come from the shop (new) with any of these, and since I've had it for at least 16 years, the original receipt is long since gone. That said, I feel the current price reflects the fact that it's a fine instrument in excellent condition.
