Yamaha SLB300PRO Silent Double Bass

A premium model with upgraded specifications that result in improved tone and playability as well as sophisticated appearance.

Since the release of the SLB100 in 2000, Yamaha has continued to release SILENT Bass™ models that fulfill user needs, cementing the Yamaha SILENT Bass™ as standout brand in the electric upright bass genre.

The SLB300 delivers realistic acoustic bass sound and playability plus unparalleled SILENT Bass™ functionality in a superb instrument that will bring the SILENT Bass™ to more players and listeners than ever before.

    The ultimate SILENT Bass™ - SLB300PRO

    Building on the high level of quality achieved in the SLB300, this model offers tone that is remarkably close to acoustic bass plus even further refined playability. With appearance, specifications, and performance that befit the high-end jazz scene, the SLB300PRO goes beyond the standard definition of electric upright bass with unlimited musical potential.

    A hollow chamber and side slits help to reproduce natural acoustic resonance while minimizing unamplified volume.

      With an ebony fingerboard, which is a rare feature on an upright bass, and a beautiful curly maple neck, this instrument offers outstanding response as well as natural tone playability.

        In addition to featuring A.R.E treatment*, the thickness of the maple bridge has been carefully optimized for this instrument. Aluminum adjusters specially selected for the SLB300PRO also provide a notable upgrade that contributes to improved response and clear tone.

        * A.R.E stands for Acoustic Resonance Enhancement, an innovative process that matures the wood in a short period of time to achieve tone and resonance that would normally only be found in an older instrument that has been played for many years.

          Tail wire that previously consisted of 49 x 0.22-millimeter strands has been upgraded to a more flexible wire consisting of 343 x 0.06-millimeter strands.

          A flexible tail wire developed specially for the SLB300PRO contributes to soft body resonance and response that are similar to those of acoustic instruments.

            The tuning machine head handles are machined out of heavy-duty stock and feature an original shape for smooth, easy operation. Overall durability and operability have been significantly improved.

              SRT Powered System adds realistic body resonance [SLB300] [SLB300PRO]

              SLB300/SLB300PRO SILENT Bass™ employs SRT Powered System technology to deliver acoustic instrument sound and response that is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

              <About the SRT Powered System>

              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.

              This system adds simulated body resonance to the analog signal output from the instrument’s pickup so that the performer’s own playing technique and nuances are delivered without compromise. No sampling or sample playback is involved.

              * These graphs are provided to illustrate the effect of the SRT Powered System, and do not represent the system’s actual frequency response.

              An SRT Powered System that has been specially optimized for the SLB300PRO delivers even more natural acoustic bass sound. This dedicated SRT Powered System achieves the highest level of acoustic bass reality thus far achieved in the SILENT Bass™ series.

                Acoustic body resonance as picked up by three well-known and prized studio microphones is realistically simulated. (SRT Powered System)

                The SRT Powered System is used to simulate the response of three well-known and prized studio microphones. The microphones can be selected via the MIC TYPE selector, and the sound adjusted via the BLEND and BASS/TREBLE controls to ideally match a wide range of musical genres, ensembles, performance locations, and more.

                <Three Microphone Types>

                1. Rich : A highly valued vintage tube microphone that delivers smooth, well-balanced sound.

                2. Simple : A dynamic microphone that is often used for its clear, well-defined sound.

                3. Warm : With a different tube microphone character than number 1, this classic microphone is known for a more emphasized low range and overall warmth.

                <Blend Control>

                The BLEND control adjusts the mix between the simulated microphone signal and the signal from the instrument’s pickup. The blend can be seamlessly adjusted from direct pickup output with no microphone simulation to full microphone simulation when maximum depth and harmonic richness are desired.

                <EQ Controls (Bass / Treble)>

                The BASS and TREBLE EQ controls are optimized specifically for this instrument, allowing tonal response to be matched to a wide range of performance situations.

                  SLB300/SLB300PRO exterior design is inherited from the SLB200. A compact, simplified shape does away with nonessential mass and volume. An acoustic bass shaped frame and a center of gravity designed to minimize rotation further enhance playability, while the bridge, fingerboard, neck and other critical parts are in positions that require no change in hold or playing technique from traditional acoustic basses.

                  SLB300/SLB300PRO also uses standard contrabass strings, so the user can choose the strings that he or she prefers.

                    The body and frame feature an antique style finish that emphasizes the qualities of the wood and exudes a natural elegance. The finish will look and feel familiar to acoustic upright bass players.

                    * The wood grain will be different in each individual instrument.

                      A refined exterior for high-end jazz scene [SLB300PRO]

                      - The neck is made of beautiful tiger-stripe curly maple with an extremely thin finish that feels like a well-played instrument.

                      - The body features an antique-like finish that simulates The color and tactile wood grain of a vintage acoustic bass.

                      - Special-order gold-plated machine heads and a simulated tortoise shell control panel provide elegant accents to refined overall appearance.

                      * The wood grain will be different in each individual instrument.

                      When packed in its dedicated soft case, the SLB300 takes up just approximately 25% of the volume of an acoustic bass.

                        SLB300/SLB300PRO comes with an optimized pickup system and preamplifier already installed, and can be directly connected to a wide range of equipment without further setup or adjustment.

                        Express Post
                        Sometimes we can Express Post/Courier your items if necessary but additional charges may apply. Orders generally leave at 2:00pm daily so if you need an item ASAP, make sure it is ordered by 1pm (please call 1300 687 672) to ensure there is stock of the item and to get an estimated time of arrival. Express post is to capital / major cities only (for next day service). This service is for small items under 3KG only!

                        How can I track my order?
                        Check your email and you will have been sent a tracking number, input the number into either Fastway CouriersStartrack or Australia Post's Track & Trace engine. If you have any problems, please call us and we will call the couriers on your behalf.

                        Do you take international orders?
                        Sorry, we do not take international orders, we only sell and ship around Mainland Australia & Tasmania. For remote & Island locations please contact us.

                        How much is shipping?
                        To work out a shipping cost, please go through the cart and our system will work out a freight price to your area.
                        If you think there may be an error, or want to clarify the price, you are welcome to contact us and we will work out the best shipping price for you.
                        There may be some exceptions for heavy or large items (over 25kg), remote locations or some regional areas. We will contact you if this problem arises prior to shipping the goods.

                        Do you offer freight insurance?
                        We certainly do, and highly recommend it as Australia is a big country. Insurance / Shipping protection is available and is only 1.5% of the value of the goods.

                        Can I pick my goods up in store?    
                        Of course! Unlike some stores, we do not charge for you to pick up in store. We are open 7 days for your convenience, but please give us a date and time of pick up so we can make sure your goods are ready. Orders that are left for over 1 week and not picked up will be returned to stock, unless other arrangements have been made. Valid ID will be required for picking up goods that have been paid for online or over the phone.

                        What if I am not home for the delivery?
                        IF you are not home, the driver will leave a card in your mail box so you can pick-up from the local depot/post office or arrange a re-delivery. 
                        We have found it to be much quicker & easier to have all items sent to a business address where someone will be present.

                        Can I ask for the courier to leave the goods at my door?
                        Whilst it Is possible, we highly recommend that you do not do it. All freight warranty & insurance will be void. Only do so at your own risk, if someone steals it, Musos Corner & The freight company will not be held accountable.
                        If you will not be able to take the delivery, it might be worth asking a friend or neighbour to take delivery of it for you.

                        What if it appears my goods have been freight damaged?
                        Please check all items before signing for them! This is very important. Do not sign for an item that appears damaged, to sign for them means "Signed for in good working order" and subsequently is out of the couriers hands, and voids insurance. If this was not possible, there can be a 24 Hour window to try and claim insurance, please contact us & the courier immediately. This only applies to orders that have paid for Insurance & are sent via courier. 

                        Can the courier or delivery person call me prior to delivery?
                        Unfortunately as often as we request this, we get denied as many times. No courier or Australia post worker will call you prior to delivery despite any bribes we may try and offer.
                        If you select courier we will send you a tracking number which you can use to find out an estimated time of arrival for your goods, or alternatively have it sent to a business address.

                        Can I have my goods delivered on the weekend or after hours?
                        Unfortunately this is not possible at the current point in time, however you are welcome to pickup in store late night Thursday or on weekends from our Newcastle store. Please contact us to set a pickup time.

                        Send to a PO BOX?
                        We cannot ship guitars to a PO BOX under any circumstances. Australia Post will not accept deliveries over 105cm LCM, we cannot change their policy.

                        Products

                        Do i need to set up my product?
                        All guitars come fully set up ready to play (after a quick tuning). Banjos will need to be set up after delivery as they cannot be shipped set up unless they are bought with a case. Some products like piano stands require some basic assembly as they are flat packed for shipping. Digitial pianos and clavinovas may require some simple assembly.

                        Are all products brand new?
                        Yes! Everything we sell, unless clearly specified, is considered brand new with full warranty. Some items, especially guitars will have been taken out of their boxes for inspection, demonstration or quality assurance. This in no way effects your warranty supplied to you by Musos Corner or Australian consumer law.

                        Are the items individually photographed?
                        All images are for illustration purposes unless otherwise specified. While we wish we could take photos of every exact item, this is not always possible and we use the pictures supplied by either the a) Australian Supplier or b) Manufacturer. 
                        If you require a specialty photo of your instrument prior to purchase, just contact us to see if this is available.

                        Does my item come with Australian warranty
                        All items we sell come with Australian Warranty, please read our returns policy fo rmore information. Some manufactuers provide aditional warranty over the 12 months once registering the product with them. This warranty is between you and the manufactuer, but we will be happy to help should any is needed.
