Yamaha Attitude Limited 1 (Billy Sheehan Signature)

Yamaha Attitude LTD I Billy Sheehan Signature Bass Early Limited Model (1990 Spec)

For sale is a Yamaha Attitude LTD I (Limited 1), one of the earliest and most collectible versions of the Billy Sheehan signature bass series.

The "Thunder Blue" Finish: Yamaha reportedly only made 150 units in this exact color variant for the original 1990 production run.

The Attitude LTD I model laid the foundation for the series’ distinctive sonic identity and hardware layout, and is widely regarded as the purest early expression of the design before later refinements. Early LTD I instruments are highly sought after by collectors and players due to their original specification and historical importance in Yamaha’s signature bass lineup.

This model features Yamaha’s signature dual-pickup architecture and performance-focused design:

• Dual Pickup System: DiMarzio Will Power split-coil in the middle for punchy, aggressive mids, paired with a DiMarzio Model One “woofer” humbucker at the neck for deep low-end response
• Dual Output System: Independent outputs for each pickup, allowing full routing flexibility to separate amplifiers or signal chains
• Hardware: Hipshot D-Tuner on the E string for instant drop tuning from E to D
• Neck & Body Design: Thick maple neck and fretboard construction with Yamaha’s distinctive metal “tongue” under the pickguard at the end of the neck, adding rigidity and tonal definition

The Attitude Limited I (1990 specification) represents the earliest production version of the model and includes the original high-cut switch for the woofer pickup, a defining feature of the early Attitude design. These instruments are increasingly difficult to find in original condition and are regarded as some of the most desirable examples in the series.
