Yamaha SILENT Bass

[Bilko]

I like like my Yamaha Silent bass, but the volume drops as I go up the fingerboard near the octave. Does anyone else experience this issue?

Now that I mention it, I should try using my K&K preamp to see if it can strengthen the sound up the fingerboard. The pickup is hidden away under the bridge on the Yamaha, but am still wondering if I can add another pickup to the bridge to increase the volume up the fingerboard.

How can it get quieter than silent?

I’d ask this in the EUB section on the double bass side. You might find more experienced readers there.
