The neck is held to the bass body with 4 screws to create a solid bond and tone. The solid brass bridge captures and transmits string vibration directly to the body, creating great low-end tone and attack.Ī big, thick neck features jumbo frets from frets 1-16 to produce outstanding sustain. A high cut switch in the front pickups tone control boosts bass output from the front pickup. Stereo output jacks provide separate outputs for the front and rear pickups. This neck is what gives me my solid sound.īoth front and rear pickups are custom made by DiMarzio and deliver powerfully heavy bass tone with a solid fundamental. You can’t get a sustain like this from a small, thin neck. Many people think that the material of the body is what gives you sustain, but actually, the neck is more important. Of course different players use different tunings, but I like to use it in D. The D-tuner means that you can get to those lower notes. A lot of people who play four string basses want to be able to play lower notes than conventional four string can provide, but don’t want to use a five or six string bass. It is just fundamentally different to the neck joints of other basses. I sometimes bend it very strongly but it never breaks. However in the Attitude bass, there are two screws on both the front and the back of the joint, so there is no movement at all. On the old bass I had before I started using Yamahas the neck would move sideways when you bent it. In Billy’s Own Words: Key Construction Features of the Yamaha Attitude Bassįor Me, There are quite a few important things about this bass, but the joint between the neck and the body would have to be the most important. For extra versatility the pickups are wired to separate outputs, allowing the choice between combining the two sounds or – as Billy does himself - amplifying them separately. The neck woofer pickup - with a high-cut facility - is known for its ultra-deep character and superb definition while the middle pickup is a split-coil P-style packed with tremendous punch and midrange power. Billy’ trademark sound owes much to his choice of pickups, and the Attitude’s Dimarzio Will Powers don’t disappoint. Providing the low-end for some of the biggest names in rock including Mr Big, David Lee Roth and Steve Vai, Billy demands extreme performance from his basses and the Attitude delivers on every level thanks to custom-spec construction, hardware and electronics. To play the 2008 tech demo of Sonic Attitude, check out Endri’s website (translated from Portuguese) and follow the progress Endri makes on the game at the official thread at Sonic Fan Games HQ.The Attitude is the result of continued collaboration between bass legend Billy Sheehan and Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood. The main features in the engine I belive is SSAO and almost-with-no-pre-calculations-at-all Global Illumination. In fact, you can you it to develop other types games but Sonic games, but the main sources included are for Sonic in general. It’s an entire SDK for developing Sonic games for PC. The PC version will now feature a brand new engine entirely customized by me myself. One thing that I would like to note is that I redefined the engine for the PC version. Endri built the PC version from the ground up in his own custom software development kit: LOOK AT IT.Įndri originally designed Attitude for the Nintendo DS, but the recent screenshots that have been coming in have been for the PC version. The game is a 2D sidescroller in full 3D. Above is a screenshot of a game coming to SAGE ’09 in 2 weeks, called Sonic Attitude by SFGHQer Endri Lauson.
