For sale one of the original Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass 3/4 Scale, Traditional Design Details, complete with original packaging and paperwork. I bought this on here a while ago, thinking I’ll get back to playing upright bass, but then the lower back pain started to kick in again and I remembered why I stopped in the first place! Listing it for what I paid for it. There are currently retailing at £8000 plus shipping from Yamaha UK, so grab yourself a bargain. See links below: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/SLB-100-Silent-Upright-Bass/pidKSLB100 Collection preferred, but I can get this over to the UK for collection there, or shipped (insured) within the EU. Genuine acoustic tone - play many styles Silent hollow design allows quiet practice Full frame replicates the shape of an acoustic upright Super Sensitive Supreme professional hybrid strings fitted The Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass is a premium inclusion to Yamaha's Silent Bass series. This instrument features a full frame design. Closely mimicking the shape of an acoustic bass, this double bass is perfect for players who prefer the shape of an acoustic bass rather than the stick-shaped design of a lot of electric uprights. The inclusion of the frame on the lower half of the body also makes this an ideal instrument for players who like to sit when playing. The Super Sensitive Supreme strings which are included make this a great choice if you play both classical and jazz double bass. Full Description Genuine acoustic sound The SLB 100 features a hollow body just like other Yamaha Silent Basses. This makes the instrument sound just like an acoustic bass and is loved by players for this. The real wood body that is finished in a similar manner to traditional string instruments also helps enhance the tone and feel of this bass. What sets Yamaha basses apart from other electric uprights is their use of a traditional-style bridge. These bridges are cut just like those on traditional string instruments - making this bass great for both pizzicato and arco playing. Unlike other Silent Basses the SLB 100 features a full ebony tailpiece which further adds to the feel of a traditional double bass. Full frame design Other Silent Basses feature a frame which covers the top half of the instrument. This mimics the real frame of an acoustic bass whilst minimising the space. The SLB 100 takes this one step further and continues the frame all the way down the instrument. This makes the SLB 100 feel more comfortable for players who prefer acoustic basses or like to sit down when playing. You needn't fear about the portability however, as this instrument is just as portable as any other electric upright - the frame is still detachable for convenience and easy storage. Electronic integration This instrument offers the feel and sound of an acoustic bass while including features which are only possible with electronic instruments. Tone shaping is possible with the tone control and the volume can be controlled as well. During rehearsals you can ensure your bass won't make sudden noises if knocked. For personal practice the headphone jack enables you to plug straight into your instrument without needing additional gear. You can also play backing tracks through the auxiliary input to play along to. Yamaha Yamaha are well known for their superb electronic instruments. The Silent Strings series also includes violins, violas and cellos. As well as this, they produce the Silent Brass series of practice mutes, allowing you to plug in headphones for practicing brass instruments like the trumpet and tuba. For classical guitar players, they produce a Silent Series guitar too Specifications Size: String length 1,054mm (41 1/2") Neck: Maple Body: Spruce/mahogany Frame: Beech (detachable) Finger board: Rosewood Peg: Custom worm gear type Tailpiece: Ebony Bridge: Maple (height adjustable) Pickup: 2 piezo pickups Strings: Super sensitive supreme Electric controls: Volume, tone control, aux-in volume In/out jacks: Phones/line out, aux in Power supply: 9V battery 1pc. or AC adapter (optional) Battery life: Manganese: Approx. 12 hrs Alkaline: Approx. 24 hrs Weight: 10kg (22 lbs.)

A piece of music history: The Warwick Alien was designed by renowned German master luthier Martin Seeliger, founder of Lakewood Guitars - a company well-respected for building acoustic guitars of exceptional quality. This bass is part of the first series of 101 pieces to be handcrafted by Lakewood in Germany before production moved to Asia. Exceptional craftsmanship: This acoustic bass is made of selected solid wood and sports even meticulously crafted wooden bindings, this ensures its exceptional resonance and sound quality. The design features elements that were both unique and trendsetting, including the relocated soundhole, a large bridge with metal tailpiece, cutaway, and ergonomic thumb rest, making this bass both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Original Lakewood MK 2 Preamp: Equipped with the AER-designed 18-volt preamp, this bass offers unparalleled tonal control. With separate volume controls for each string, a 3-band EQ, and a master volume, you can tailor your tone to your needs. Just-A-Nut Technology: Thanks to Warwick's Just-A-Nut technology, custom string height adjustment is a breeze. The sound is loud and resonant. Rich and warm with lots of bite. Playing technique alone gives a range of sound from smooth and warm to twangy and biting. Very versatile tones. Acoustically satisfying! Bookmatched solid Spruce top, bookmatched solid Ovankol back. Mahogany neck, Wenge fingerboard. Hand Built in 1993, Serial number #92, this bass comes with a Warwick Rockcase. Bass is currently located in Ireland, but can arrange shipping at buyers expense, (or buyer can arrange their own), have all the necessary cartons and packaging materials. I also have the ability to get the bass over to the UK if that helps. Thanks for looking!

Took this bass in a few weeks ago as part of a trade, have used the original pics and description from the seller, Andy Baxter (www.andybaxterbass.com), definitely a site worth visiting for any vintage basses and amplification. Here we have a 1980 Music Man Sabre bass in excellent condition. White finish with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. Black pickguard, 2 band EQ, Contoured body, 2 humbucking pickups, internal micro powered pre-amp, brightness + phase in/out and pickup selector switches. All original and complete including the case. The body finish is in excellent condition with just a few small scuffs and tiny dings as well as a little buckle rash. The back of the neck and the fretboard are in excellent condition. The headstock is also clean with just a few small scuffs on the top edge. There are 2 small repairs to the pickguard - one through the screw hole nearest the neck joint (G string side) and one by the tip at the lower horn. The body and neck both date to 1980 but only the neck has a visible month which is May. The body month is very hard to make out but think it says Feb? The pots are dated to mid '79. The frets are in great shape with plenty of life left in them and the truss rod is fully operational with plenty of room to move. The neck is straight and plays smoothly. This bass has been fully checked over and set up with a fresh set of Ernie Ball roundwound strings. Serial number: C005479. Weight: 10 lbs / 4.53 kg Nut width: 43 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 20 mm. Bass is in Ireland… shipping can be arranged either by the buyer or myself I have all the necessary shipping cartons and packaging. Price £3,000 plus shipping

Hi, the rig is currently in storage, so can’t get the weights at present.

For Sale…

Can’t recommend these enough, someone will be very happy! Best of luck with the sale.

Nice, graphite necks are scarce to come by! Best of luck with the sale, if it was a 3/1 headstock, I’d have this snapped up!

Yes, the Status neck has a truss rod (see neck heel) so the neck can be adjusted like a standard wood neck. The truss rod counteracts/bends as one in a typical neck does.
