The Rock Slide TRS-SB Small Brass Slide

Alhoewel ik me nog geen Landreth waan, is dit wel de eerste slide waar ik een goede toon uit haal en uberhaupt mee overweg kan. De dikkere slide is merkbaar beter qua feel en toon. En de cutaway, laten we het maar even zo noemen, ik dacht dat dat een gimmick was maar dat draagt wel degelijk bij. Hij is comfortabel en heeft een goede sound. Niet de meest goedkope optie maargoed, nadat ik al meerdere slides heb aangeschaft, is dit toch echt de 'fijnste' en in mijn optiek, de beste.

If all you've ever known are cheap, Dunlop slides... You're in for a treat!

The brass is gorgeous to start with, no sad stainless tubes here.

The slide has some comforting weight to it, but not so much that it's burdensome.

The design is very ergonomic. One end of the slide has an open side to let you bend your finger. At the other end the walls gradually become thicker so that your finger fits snugly inside.

Then there's the notched side, which lets you use your ring finger to support your pinky.

You have full control over this slide when using it — it stays on your finger and you can add your ring finger for optimal precision.

The slide is perfect to put on your pinky (frankly it won't fit my other fingers). This gives you 3 other fingers that can still fret chords. However: I have slender fingers, so if you have thick stumps this slide might not fit.

Overall, very happy with this purchase. Yes, it's costs much more than 2 regular slides but it's worth it in playing comfort.
