Yamaha SLB300 Silent Upright Bass

Description

The Yamaha SLB300 Silent Upright Bass is a brand-new type of electric upright bass which features Yamaha’s pioneering ‘Studio Resonance Technology’ (SRT) technology. SRT models the way an acoustic double bass would sound professionally mic’d up in a recording studio – complete with the added resonance of an acoustic instrument. The result is a tone which sounds incredible – yet comes from the SLB300’s compact and semi-solid body structure which is designed for convenience.

The SLB-300 delivers a natural acoustic bass tone, excellent playability and unparalleled Silent Bass functionality – making it an ideal bass for more players than ever before.

Yamaha SLB300 Silent Upright Bass features:

• Body designed for a natural, pure acoustic tone: A hollow chamber and side slits help to reproduce natural acoustic resonance while minimizing unamplified volume.
• 
• ‘Studio Resonance Technology’ (SRT) restores natural body resonance to the overall tone: The Yamaha SRT (Studio Response Technology) Powered System is a digital technology that employs in-depth analysis of the acoustic properties of actual musical instruments to add natural-sounding body resonance in real time to instruments such as the Silent Bass™ that do not have a physical resonant body.
