Yamaha Silent Bass SLB100 Probably the best Electric Upright Bass (EUB) ever made. Serial number 001288. Includes Open body with knee rest and a good bow. Owned from new for over 20 years. I bought this when playing with a Jazz band. Unfortunately the band only lasted a few months and I have had no opportunity to play it since. Therefore, it has been played publicly less than 10 times, so in very good condition, with just a couple of dings. Small damage on the left side next to where the body frame joins and and one on the frame itself and tiny ding further down the left side ( see pictures). There is also some ageing marks on the bottom of the metal back panel. The bottom ferrel marks the floor ( It always has ) The on off switch is a little temperamental through lack of use. There is no stand and there is no case. I kept it in a carpet lined Surf Board Bag (It is big) Now in original packaging box which is 185cm long, 43 cm deep and 33cm wide. After my stroke 11 years ago, I really couldn’t manage it and finally have to swallow my pride and let it go. It deserves a better home. Price is £2500 (The amount I want in order to buy a good acoustic bass.) But open to very good offers. (New price currently over £8000) Ideally to be collected from Plymouth Devon, But could be delivered within UK with buyer covering cost of transport and insurance.
