Owner’s Manual
Thank you very much for purchasing the Yamaha “SILENT Bass
TM
”.
This product is a brand-new type of electric upright bass that achieves natural sound and
resonance by using the SRT POWERED system to reproduce studio-quality sound in
which the body resonance of a double bass was recorded using a high-quality micro-
phone, all the while keeping a semi-solid body structure that emphasizes quietness and
portability.
In order to obtain the maximum performance and enjoyment from this product, we urge
you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the instrument. Please keep this
Owner’s Manual, together with the warranty, in a safe place for later reference.
