Yamaha Attitude Limited 3 Bass Guitar - Sonic Blue, Billy Sheehan Signature Model - 34" Scale, DiMarzio Pickup

The Yamaha Attitude Limited 3 in Sonic Blue is the ultimate evolution of Billy Sheehan’s legendary signature bass, designed for powerful, articulate low-end with unmatched playability.

Sheehan’s fingerprints are all over this instrument from the DiMarzio WillPower pickup and custom Yamaha woofer to the totally reworked neck joint for superior comfort and sustain.
