I don't have a Pearce but I completely understand your desire to acquire one. I have the Suncoast BC3XL, two of the Sheehan pedals & three attitude bass, so I definitely get it. Good luck with your worthy quest.

If everything goes as planned, by tomorrow I should be able to join this club. I will be picking up a Lava Red LTD II in about 13 hours.
Fingers crossed lads!

Oh man, that is my favorite attitude color. Be sure to post lots of pics for me to drool over please.
This is the only pic I have of it so far, but I’ll get to see it IRL in less than an hour!
It’s home!
Solid as a rock, big fat neck, thunderous output, fantastic color and the original case.
I paid roughly $900 for it. It was an offer too good to walk always from.
Same price as two brand spanking new Squier Classic Vibe Precisions here in Sweden.

That's half the price that I often see used Attitude basses listed for sale. Nice score!
Wow!! What a beauty, and what a steal of a price!!! I'm way jealous. If you are on Facebook post your serial # question in the yamaha attitude owners group and someone will help you crack the date code.
Thanks!
I did that and got an answer right away!
It’s 13 years old, June 2010, and in very good condition all things considered.
I wasn’t really aware of this color prior to seeing it in the ad. I’ve seen the green and blue basses Billy Sheehan uses and the occasional black one, but this is by far the most beautiful color of the bunch! It changes depending on lights and angles and reflects everything in front of it.
Love it!
Where can I find a list of Attitude Ltd colors?
I know about the Sonic Blue, Seafoam Green and the black ones, plus the Lava Red I’ve got, but there’s got to be more, right?
I suppose the Ltd I, II and III comes in different colors?
What are the most common colors? Are there really rare ones?

The FB group is going to be your best resource for detailed info on all things Yamaha Attitude but if we are talking about just the limited models like you have; the first version came in Thunder Blue and Lightning Red. VII was seafoam green, black and lava red. VIII is available in sonic blue or black only other than the 30th anniversary model that was sunburst but they only made 30 of those.
My little collection.
No lava red though...
I have a couple Attitudes that I don't see often.
The Attitude Custom is Light Violet Metallic, and the Attitude Standard is Crimson Red.
They both came with white pickguards and I had to change them to black.

Guys does anyone have the wiring diagram for the attitude standard? (including the shield parts under the pups)

I pulled the pickups, pots and three way switch in mine and put in the EMG GZR P & J pair, so mine is now V/V/T.
I will go look at the parts I pulled out and see if it's still together enough to get good pics of what's what.
I looked at the parts I removed and unfortunately I disassembled it with a soldering iron and was not thinking in terms of having to go back and know how it was to begin with. The parts are not in an intact assembly that is of any value to figure out the original configuration.
I am happier with the EMG GZR pickups and very much prefer a a Vol/Vol/ Tone setup to a three way switch that give 100% front pickup/full on for both pickups/100% bridge pickup. I like a set up that allows for either pickup to run at any percentage of volume.
I believe it's better than the three way toggle or the blend knob option.
For PJ basses, to get a balance that sounds good to my ear I want to be able to completely control the output of each pickup not just for the volume blend but the tone of each at 3 or 6 or 10.
I'm sure all of what I just said is already known to many people, so forgive me for being pedantic.
