Anyone can grab a hacksaw, cut a piece of pipe, chrome it if they are willing and then call it a slide
The guys at RockSlide are a bit more creative than that utilizing technology and a US$400,000 Swiss screw machine (lucky people huh?)to manufacture the most ergonomic slide for the human hand. Designed with a tapered interior to fit snugly on the finger, and prevent wobbling and is cut away at the knuckle to prevent pinching and an adjacent finger rest for added stability. The thick solid brass walls provide unparalleled smooth sustain. Offered in three sizes for the perfect fit in either Chrome Plated Brass or Gold plated brass slides! The tone is legendary, the look is drop dead gorgeous.
What does the current slide offer? Just a piece of pipe. Dozens of manufacturers all charging a fortune for what the DIY store sells for pennies. Problem 1: While trying to keep the slide from dropping past the second knuckle, your inspired solo distracts you and your slide falls, pinching your hand as you go to use it again. Problem 2: It's either thin, but comfortable, and has no tone, or it is a cumbersome bulky slide. Problem 3: No matter what slide you buy, it wobbles. Sure, it's snug at the base, but loose across the rest of the finger. Solution? A slide made completely differently. Make a slide that tapers inside so that it is snug, maintains a clean thin feel yet with great weight and sustain, and notch the bottom so it never pinches the finger or falls out of place during that inspired solo. The answer... don't cut - carve the perfect slide!
Your Options - Gold or Chrome Finish, Small, Medium or Large
The Small slide fits comfortably on the little finger allowing the index, middle and ring finger freedom to play. The Medium slide fits the ring finger comfortably and can be worn on the little finger of players with larger fingers or if you want full six string coverage with a slide on the little finger. The large slide fits comfortably on the middle finger or the ring finger of players with larger fingers. The large slide has the adjacent finger rests on both sides for resting the index and ring finger (maximum stability). The weight and thickness of this slide produce un-paralleled sustain!!
