Traded my Dingwall to a friend of mine for this beautiful Attitude III bass. The neck is wider than all my others, knew that going in, but man is it playable.

These are great basses. Although I generally prefer basses with skinny necks, I find these Attitude basses extremely playable and comfortable. And the quality of the neck construction is outstanding. Regardless of what gauge of string I put on this, the action stays consistent and low. Very solid basses.
 
100% awesome. Great player, killer range of tones. Rock on!

edit, forgot to say their take on Daphne is fantastic.
I like that color a lot also, I would put a different color pickguard on though, never been a fan of white or antique white pearloid.
Would like to see what mint green looks like, or that nice tort Billy got on his new sunburst Attitude, or maybe black.

I changed the white guard to black on mine, I like it better...was hard to find a good match for the weird metallic rose paint color.

Guilty as charged, my main Tele is Daphne with white pearloid and maple neck. But tort also looks great on that blue. That’s a cool bass BTW.
