Yamaha SLB300 Silent Bass

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

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.
