If Salt Bae made a guitar…
Was going to say “Dexter”, but Bateman is better
Yessir!!! I made one super similar in the builder! Soooo good.
The bass needs a business card holder.
Some gorgeous basses here! Sooooo many to scroll through!
My new Squier Contemporary Jazz bass HH, and the Pretender home made “bitsa this, bitsa that” P bass
Who here has ever wanted something they couldn’t afford, but bought it anyway?

I’ve been drooling over the Yamaha Silent Upright Bass for a long time, but the price has held me back. Now that throat cancer and ensuing laryngectomy has rendered me silent, it’s only fitting that I own a silent_series bass.
I have parlayed my Eastman acoustic upright, NS Designs WAV EUB, and Sterling Ray5 into the Yamaha SLB300. Thanks to a sweet deal from my Sweetwater rep, along with Sweetwater’s 6 months no interest, I was able to pull it off.
The SLB supplants the acoustic upright in terms of tone and playability, at 1/3 the weight and 1/4 the bulk. I can easily transport it in my sedan, whereas I was unable to with the bulky acoustic.
So, along with my Yamaha BB735, I’m down to two basses, both Yammies. I’m quite comfortable with my Minimal Bass Disorder.
Very nice!
very interesting instrument
Hey @PamPurrs , do you play that fingerstyle only, or do you use a bow as well?

Yamaha SLB300.
Don’t leave your doors unlocked @PamPurrs otherwise this will silently make its way to NY.
Congrats, that thing is amazing and you deserve it!
Nice. nice. nice

you play that fingerstyle only, or do you use a bow as well?
I play both pizzicato and arco. It depends on my mood.
Very nice Pam! Not much room for a rose decal.
Happy New Year!
We might be able to find a spot for a small rose
That’s gorgeous! @PamPurrs how’s the action is it like the double bass or close to the EUB? I’ve been drooling over this too but I’m just afraid when it’s too high end it would be too close to the real thing which not what I’m after, lol.

It’s identical to the double bass, and nothing like any of the EUBs I’ve owned/played. This is why so many professional double bassists are playing the SLB300.
Very interesting instrument @PamPurrs !
Enjoy. You deserve it
