The Silent Bass does not produce sound when headphones are plugged into the instrument’s Output Jack.

When making connections to the Output Jack, make sure that a standard monaural phone plug is used. The power is switched ON when a plug is inserted into the Output Jack, so using a cable with a stereo, balanced, or other type of plug that is divided into three sections can result in poor performance or damage to the instrument or other devices connected to it.

inserted into the Output Jack.

To conserve battery power, the instrument is not equipped with a power indicator, such as a lamp, etc., to indicate that the power is ON.

Before making any connections, make sure the volume is turned down on the amplifier, powered speaker, etc. or its power is switched OFF.

2 Rotate the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume to a suitable level.

If the sound is distorted when playing strongly, try turning the volume knob slightly to the left.

3 Use the TREBLE knob to adjust (boost/cut) the tonal qual- ity of the instrument’s upper frequencies, and the BASS knob to adjust (boost/cut) the tonal quality of its lower frequen- cies.

The sound may become distorted when boosting frequen- cies with the TREBLE or BASS knob. If so, slightly rotate the knob to the left to reduce the frequency boost level of the knob that is causing the distortion.

SLB200 specifications

The Yamaha SLB200 is a state-of-the-art silent bass that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, making it an ideal choice for musicians seeking versatility and reliable performance. Renowned for its rich sound and exceptional playability, the SLB200 caters to a wide range of musical styles, from jazz to classical to contemporary pop.

One of the standout features of the SLB200 is its innovative design. The instrument is crafted with a solid maple body, providing a warm and resonant tone that bass players cherish. The unique shape of the body not only enhances its visual appeal but also makes it more comfortable to play, especially in standing situations where balance is crucial.

The bass is equipped with Yamaha’s advanced pickup system, which includes an under-saddle piezo pickup and a secondary microphone. This dual pickup configuration allows for greater tonal flexibility, enabling players to dial in their desired sound profile, whether they prefer a bright, percussive attack or a deep, mellow bass tone. The high-quality preamp further ensures that the signal sounds pristine, whether recording or performing on stage.

Another impressive aspect of the Yamaha SLB200 is its built-in effects and modulation options.
