Too Good To Be Kept Quiet
With the addition of the new SLB200, Yamaha’s Silent Bass series now offers bassists a choice
of two instruments, both featuring body and pickup systems that are designed to bring out the
best in tone from each instrument.
The SLB200 is a performance-oriented bass designed with a compact body that makes transport
to and from the gig a breeze. Utilization of a newly developed hollow body design and new
internally mounted pickup system deliver pizzicato tone that is solid, rich, and realistic, and fits
naturally into any jazz or pop setting. Built-in electronics offer plug and play simplicity and a
detachable frame gives the instrument a feel and playability that comes close to the real thing.
The SLB100’s outstanding tone can handle a wide range of musical styles, but classical
bassists may appreciate its silent characteristics that allow the player to practice silently while
enjoying full-bodied tone through a pair of headphones.
To see just what the Silent Basses have to offer, visit your Yamaha dealer, and give them a try.
You’ll soon see why it would be a shame to keep them quiet.
Outstanding Portability
Both the SLB100 and SLB200 feature detachable frames
that provide excellent support and comfort when playing
the instrument. Frames remove easily to increase the
portability of the instrument. The SLB200 is designed so as
to allow the entire instrument to break
down and fit into a compact
case which can be
carried comfortably
with the shoulder
strap.
Controls
Volume, Treble, and Bass controls on the SLB200 provide
straightforward control over the instrument’s tone
while the instrument’s active electronics offer plug and
play operation without the need of external pre-amplification.
Optional Supports
A knee support and extension
frame are optionally available
for the SLB200 to provide
greater comfort and support
while playing the instrument. A
knee support is also available
for the SLB100.
