Crafted at Yamaha Music Craft in Japan, the Attitude Limited 3 represents the evolution of Billy Sheehan’s legendary signature bass. With its massive tone, unbeatable sustain, and hand-selected features refined by Billy himself, this instrument brings forward-thinking design to the bold Attitude legacy. Featuring cutting-edge technologies like A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration), and Yamaha's spline joint body construction, the LTDIII is louder, more responsive, and more resonant than ever before. Available in Sonic Blue or classic Attitude Black.

  • Alder 3-piece body with spline joint construction for superior resonance
  • Bolt-on neck with miter bolting for enhanced vibration transfer and sustain
  • Yamaha-designed DiMarzio Woofer and Willpower pickups with stereo/mono output options

  • Hipshot “D” tuner for quick drop tuning on the fly
