Absolutely. Looks awesome, but let's hear it.

Those preamp tube covers make excelent slides.... :guitarplayer2:

I'm assuming your kidding - they're too light by far to function as slides, but they do look cool.

Nope, they work great, just apply a bit more pressure... :laughing7:

Boils down to personal taste, then - I like a big heavy slide.  I've been lately playing Dunlop's heaviest brass slide on my Charvel strat, and it sounds like the heavens opening up.

Brass is really good, I have one i made from some highly polished hydraulic shaft material. It's extremely heavy...and smooooooooth...Sounds awesome...For the aluminum one tho, the anodized work best... :icon_biggrin:

Old tubes work good too... :laughing7:

My recording technology is quite crude at this point, but I'll see what I can do.

I've been known to use a beer bottle. It's an idea I stole from Danny Gatton. :laughing7: My band has the country-punk-style number that we sometimes finish our sets with. It needed a slide solo, so I grabbed the first thing I found, which turned out to be a mostly empty beer bottle. And thus, a gimmick was born!

I'm nowhere near as good at it as Mr. Gatton, however.  :tard:

 

[Doughboy]

With no beer bottle at hand, & in a moment of desperation, I grabed a half eaten Kilbasa for my slide solos. It didn't turn out very well, with the tone being rather bassy & meaty, but it sure put a tastey slant on my solo that hallowed evening.  :doh:

 

[Cagey]

Half eaten is ok. The magic part of using a kielbasa for a slide is it gives women ideas due to it's similarity to your "special purpose" (as if they needed any help lusting after the guitar player) and it lubricates the strings and neck for your upcoming Yngwie Malmsteen-esque solo. Problem is, after a week or so your guitar case starts smelling like a rendering plant floor that's never seen a mop when the fat goes rancid. But, that's why they invented "Old Spice" cologne. It not only covers up that rancid smell, it also feeds the chick's daddy issues.

I need a spanking!​

Don't tell my ex - she's in the mood.

She can call me daddy.

 

[Cagey]

No doubt. She could easily be a future ex-Mrs. Wagner. But, I decided some time back that it would probably be easier to just find somebody I don't like and buy her a house.
