Key Features

Any promotional materials, offers, software or subscriptions available when purchased as new may not be available with this Ex-Demo product.
The Yamaha SLB300PRO Silent Double Bass is for upright players needing quiet practice and amplified performance. Built around a full 41-inch string length, it keeps the feel of an acoustic double bass while dramatically reducing acoustic volume. That makes it far easier to practise at home, warm up backstage, or rehearse without worrying about noise.
A piezo pickup captures the character of the strings directly, and the onboard controls let you fine-tune bass, treble, and overall output without reaching for external gear. There?s also a blend control with microphone type switching, giving you flexibility when plugging into an amp or PA. The detachable beech frame helps recreate traditional playing posture, while packing down neatly into the included soft case for transport.
Ex-Demo: This product may be ex-display, have light signs of use, have slight cosmetic marks or may have non-essential parts or software missing. The original box, packaging or manual may not be included. Each item is checked by our team of repair technicians to ensure it meets our high standards. This is a great opportunity to buy a fully functioning product at a discounted price.

The SLB300PRO is designed to keep volume under control while maintaining proper double bass technique. Its solid construction limits acoustic output, so you can practise for longer at home or in shared spaces. Importantly, the full-scale neck and familiar body reference points mean your left-hand spacing, bowing, and posture all translate naturally to an acoustic bass. You’re not adapting your playing to suit the instrument, which helps keep your technique consistent across practice and performance.
Onboard electronics make it simple to dial in a usable sound straight from the instrument. The piezo pickup provides a focused, direct signal, while bass and treble controls help you adapt quickly to different rooms and amplification. There’s also a blend control with microphone type switching, giving you extra tonal options when playing live or recording. And with a dedicated bypass button, you can manage your signal cleanly without extra pedals or preamps.
Yamaha has kept traditional materials where they matter most. A maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, ebony tailpiece, and adjustable maple bridge all contribute to a natural response under the fingers. The detachable beech frame helps replicate the physical reference of an acoustic bass body, which many players rely on for stability and confidence. Combined with D’Addario Helicore Hybrid Light strings, the setup feels comfortable, controlled, and well balanced for both pizzicato and arco playing.
At around 6.8 kg, the SLB300PRO is far lighter than a full acoustic double bass, making transport less of a chore. The frame detaches quickly, allowing the instrument to pack down into the supplied soft case for rehearsals, lessons, or gigs. Power comes from two AA batteries, offering up to 32 hours of use with alkaline cells — plenty for extended sessions without constant battery changes. It’s a practical option for players who need flexibility without sacrificing feel.
As a premium brand, Yamaha are proud to offer a free five-year extended warranty when the purchase of your instrument is registered within six months of purchase. Please visit the Yamaha website for the full terms and conditions and to register your warranty.
