Yamaha Attitude II Ltd Se-Nr ONI029F Made in Japan FAQ Q: Why are you selling this great bass? A: I have to admit that a) I own too much bass guitars, b) I'm bound to 6-string bass guitars, c) I need some cash to buy even more 6-string bass guitars. Conclusion: all 4-string bass guitars have to go. Q: Why did you change the electrics? A: Soundwise I found this bass to be great, but limited, so I decided to enhance it to a PJ-configuration. Furthermore I noticed the original DiMarzio Pickup to be touch sensitive, which does not work when you're playing with lots of distortion. (I'm wondering why nobody ever mentions that) Q: Woods? Features? A: Please ask Google. This instrument is well documented. Q: Weight? A: 4,3kg = 9,5 lbs = 0,68 stone Q: What replacement pickups did you choose? A: https://www.lacemusic.eu/index.php/bass-pickups/aluma-p-bass-detail , https://www.lacemusic.eu/index.php/bass-pickups/aluma-j-bass-detail Q: Why these? A: I was attracted by the underlying concept of Lace Alumitones, they are really lightweight too, and I just wanted to check them out Q: How did the sound changed? A: Lace Alumitones differ from traditional Fender pcikup tone. They sound more dense und punchy, with significant powerful output. You might say they're not as "hairy" as a standard P. The middle position works very well, tight and focused. Q: Are there any soundsamples? A: yes, please: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ucgrer0abyg9f5/attitude_alumitones.mp3?dl=0 Q: This bass is not in it's original shape etc pp blabla A: Well, Sheehan himself ist a passionate handicraftsman. The Attitude is the result of dozens of changes and experiments. Just keep this mindset going. Q: What about the changed electrics? A: P and J go into a 4-position-rotary-switch: 1 -> mute / 2 -> P / 3 -> both in parallel / 4 -> J The 2nd pot does volume to this, then into one of the jacks. The woofer goes directly into the other jack. Passive adding of the woofer does not work very well, IMHO. Go from the jacks into a Boss LS-2, and you can mix and switch much better. Q: There's a knop lacking! A: Just on some of the pictures. I like to remove knops to avoid accidential changes when playing live. Q: What comes with the bass? A: Original Yamaha case, original DiMarzio pickup, some pots and knobs Q: will you ship the bass? A: yes Q: overall costs? A: 1500€ / approx 1320 GBP, shipping costs inside Germnay included, outside Germany to be checked Q: Where may I test it or pick it up? A: in Germany/Aachen/Burtscheid

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1509557663' post='3399918']Incidentally, do you know what make the standard plastic knobs are on the bass. I bought some really similar ones by Sifam but they weren't quite right... all I know is they're 6mm collet type... [/quote] Sorry, I have no clue.

[b]Vigier Arpege 6[/b] SeNr 005 very lightweight best neck profile of all 6stringers I ever played great tone that works in all kinds of music Due to heavy lacquer damage I had to refinish it. Too I didn't like the odd 12-preset-electronics and now I use it plain passive.
