ATTITUDE LTDII Neck
A big, thick neck features jumbo frets
from frets 1-16 to produce outstanding
sustain. The neck is held to the bass
body with 4 screws to create a solid
bond and tone. The neck also features
scallops from frets 17 through 21 and
a slap cut ground into the neck that
provides greater string access.
ATTITUDE LTDII Bridge
The solid brass bridge captures and
transmits string vibration directly to the
body, creating great low-end tone and
attack.
Pickups and Electronics
Both front and rear pickups are
custom made by DiMarzio and deliver
powerfully heavy bass tone with a
solid fundamental. Stereo output
jacks provide separate outputs for the
front and rear pickups. Mono output is
also possible. A high cut switch in the
front pickup tone control boosts bass
output from the front pickup.

BB714BS
Billy Sheehan is no stranger to the spotlight. From his days with
Talas to headlining arenas with David Lee Roth and his band Mr.
Big he has thrilled audiences the world over with his bold perfor-
mances and highly evolved techniques. Constantly pushing his
skills to new limits, he has changed the way the bass guitar is
played and taking rock bass playing to new heights.
Billy’s relationship with Yamaha is long. His close collabora-
tions with Yamaha Guitar Development has produce a number
of signature models, the latest being the new BB714BS. The
BB714BS represents a trip back to Billy’s roots with Yamaha, re-
visiting his
fi
rst Yamaha signature, which was a BB series bass.
Woofer pickup designed in
collaboration with YASH*
In addition to the split pickup, the
BB714BS carries a specially designed
double humbucker installed at the
neck position where it generates great
low-end tone. The front humbucker
is wired through a push-pull high-cut
circuit that lets you choose between
a traditional “Attutude” neck pickup
tone with high-end, or a bass boosted
ultra-low 60’s sound.
Bridge
Bridge and other hardware are black
nickel plated which is in addition
to look ing gre at, is good for the
environment as well since it has no lead.
Neck
B ill y’s BB 714B S c o m e s w i th a
neck that is slim, trim, and fast. The
rosewood on maple neck is thinner
and trimmer than the Attitude bass
and offers greater playing comfort.
