For sale is a Yamaha SLB200 EUB, complete with carry case, the stand (bought at additional cost) and additional extension frame that give more a DB-sized body curve for supporting the bass against the body (costs £132 new). The bass is in overall excellent condition (there are a few very small marks) and I have fitted anti-slip tape to the body extension to improve grip. This can be easily removed though. It plays beautifully and is easily the best EUB I've played in terms of similarity to an acoustic DB and overall quality. After discussions with my band though, I'll be using a DB in future and would like to upgrade my current one. From the Yamaha website: Yamaha's Silent Bass series feature a body and pickup systems designed to bring out the best tone from each instrument. The SLB200 is a performance-oriented bass designed with a light and compact body that makes transport to and from the gig a breeze. The hollow body design and special internally mounted pickup system deliver pizzicatos which are solid, rich, and realistic, and fit naturally into any jazz or pop setting. Built-in electronics offer plug and play simplicity and the detachable frame gives the instrument a feel and playability close to that of an acoustic bass. I'm looking for £2,100 either picked up from near Monmouth or a meet up within an hour is Monmouth.

Sorry to hear that John. Having faced my own tribulations and (touch wood) come out the other side, you're in good hands. It goes without saying, let me know if I can do anything at all (apart from buying your Fretless!) and hang tough.

Great looking Bass, John. Hope everything is okay

I bought this to use with my NS EUB but it works equally well with the Yamaha SLB too. As I have the correct stand for the Yamaha though, this K&M one is no longer required. I first saw these on the Gollihur website as I want keen on buying the upgraded NS CR stand and end pin adaptor for what would have been around £250. Gollihur recommended the K&M as a suitable alternative so I bought one from Thomann. The neck holder actually bends to grip the neck tightly and the end pin holder is solid metal and as you'd expect from K&M, it's beautifully built. They're really impressive bits of kit and feel solid as a rock. Cost me £89 new to bring to the UK. It's still in super condition and it's yours for £70 inc postage (please excuse the mess in the photos, we're still unpacking!)

I've been asked a few times about trades int hai and while I'm not looking for any more basses, I'd consider a trade with a Mark Bass CMD121P combo. Edit: trades for a Markbass combo now no longer needed

I had one of these and gigged it for a good few years. Lovely bass and really useful in self defence.
