New Slide day!!

man! that green is a real looker!
how much are they?

Its a Mike Dowling signature slide.....$34.00 US
Nice heavy glass....sustains as good as my Heavy Brass slide but has a smoother tone. :D

That's a beauty!

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!
:mrgreen:

Thanks Rico...
You gave me GAS when I seen your new slides........I had to get one too :D

Everybody ought to have a Diamond, or two, or three...
:mrgreen:

I like that!!!

I have three Diamonds but none of them are green. Hmmmm... yours is looking real nice SlickCat, maybe I should send Ian a mail..... 8)

Then there's blue... :mrgreen:

I've only got two so far. One's red, the other's purple. (With a clearcoat.)

Are they that much sweeter than, let's say, a Dunlop pyrex 2"jobbie?

Yes. I used a Dunlop Pyrex and a ceramic Moonshine slide before I got my first Diamond - it was almost like getting a new guitar...

IMO Pyrex slides are at the very bottom of glass slides. I do have some and occasionally use one, but I like pretty much every bottleneck I've ever cut better than those. The Diamond bottlenecks are just good old bottlenecks, but very professionally and skillfully cut and polished. The Ultimates are different, being made of leaded crystal. It's a lot denser than common glass types (24% lead) making for a heavier slide for a given size. That's what gives them such a clear, bright tone and long sustain. (They don't do vibrato sustain well, though, being so slick.) And you can get them made to order in just about any dimensions and colors you like.

Wow....I'll have to look them up & spend some loot!

props for posting this fam, I've got GAS again, lol........

lovin' the fact that I can get these in the UK - just been peepin' the website and there's so much choice!! (and that IS the only thing keeping the GAS at bay for now...)

Slides are great for indulging GAS. They're not a huge layout of cash, and they take up mighty little space.
