Travel-Friendly Design

One of the standout features of the Yamaha SLB300SK Silent Bass is its portability. Yamaha has ingeniously designed this bass to be compact and travel-friendly. The slim body of the SLB300SK breaks down easily to fit into the included padded gig bag, making it simple to transport in your car or on public transportation. This feature is a game-changer for bassists who need to travel with their instrument without the hassle of bulky, traditional upright basses.

Authentic Upright Bass Feel and Tone

The Yamaha SLB300SK offers an authentic acoustic upright bass playing experience. The semi-solid body with a spruce/mahogany construction and improved resonating chamber delivers a rich, full-bodied tone that closely mimics the sound of a traditional double bass. Thanks to Yamaha's advanced SRT powered system, the SLB300SK provides studio-quality sound with the sampled resonance of a real double bass, ensuring a natural and nuanced tone ideal for jazz, pop, and other genres.

Silent Practice with Studio-Quality Sound

Practice sessions can often be challenging due to noise constraints. The SLB300SK allows you to practice silently without sacrificing tonal quality. The onboard electronics, featuring a 2-band EQ and a blend control with your choice of three simulated microphone settings, deliver an impressive, full-bodied sound. This makes the SLB300SK an excellent choice for practicing in environments where loud volumes are not feasible.

Perfect for Live Performances

The SLB300SK shines in live performance settings. When plugged into an amp or PA system, the slim design and lack of a large acoustic body eliminate feedback issues, allowing you to perform confidently on any stage. The premium maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and ebony reverse-type tailpiece contribute to the bass's superior playability and comfort, making it a joy to play for extended periods.
