Yamaha SLB-100

If you are looking for an easily transportable alternative to your acoustic double bass that is in no way inferior to yours in terms of sound, then it is worth trying out the new Silent Bass. With the SLB-100 , Yamaha follows the same concept that underpinned the Silent Violin and Silent Cello. Normal size and scale ratios, high-quality materials and an attractive (award-winning!) design, no resonance box to enable playing at any time and any place, and a sound that is almost identical to that of the acoustic model via headphones or an amplifier system. Of course, it can be played with the bow as well as plucked. However, portability is considered particularly important for the double bass. And so here, similar to the cello SVC-200, the frame, which indicates the shape of the body shape , is removable. You can even take this double bass with you as luggage on the plane. To truly experience the capabilities of Silent Bass, visit your Yamaha dealer and try it out. Maple neck with ebony fingerboard, three-ply spruce-mahogany-spruce body, removable birch frame, ebony tailpiece, super-sensitive "Supreme" strings. 2 piezo pickups, each under the feet of the height-adjustable (!) bridge, and the balance can be adjusted with each other, string length 1054mm (normal ¾ scale), LINE OUT for amplifier connection, headphone output, AUX IN with adjustable input volume for playing Playbacks, powered by 9V block battery. Since the SLB-100 has a very special design, Yamaha offers some special accessories. The customer has the choice between a light and practical soft case or a sturdy hard case. He/she can also decide whether a knee brace specifically designed for seated play is needed. The stable and stable stand is particularly recommended so that the instrument can be placed optimally and safely.
