Description
The 1995 Yamaha Attitude Special Billy Sheehan Signature Bass in Seafoam Green is a bold, performance-driven instrument built for players who want power, clarity, and stage-ready attitude. Inspired by Billy Sheehan's legendary tone and technique, this bass delivers a wide sonic range thanks to its dual-pickup configuration. The DiMarzio Woofer in the neck position provides deep, piano-like lows, while the P-style pickup adds punch and articulation, making it equally suited for driving rock lines or more nuanced playing. The Seafoam Green finish and pearloid pickguard give it a standout look that matches its larger-than-life sound.
Built in Taiwan during the mid-'90s, this Attitude Special offers a solid, reliable feel with a fast-playing maple neck and a comfortable 34" scale. The gloss-finished neck and fretboard add a touch of vintage-inspired style, and the rounded block inlays subtley add something a bit unique. This example has been professionally inspected and set up, making it a great choice for players looking for a unique signature bass with serious tonal flexibility.
