Fender Brass Guitar Slide, Fat Large

I bought several glass slides before I found one that fit properly and still didn't like it all that much. It was tight fitting but worked. The brass one fit very well albeit a bit heavy but definitely sounds better and easier to use.Glass for my ears was a bit too sharp on the notes where as the brass actually sounded great in comparison. It's also large enough I can slip it off my finger quickly with very little effort. Very highly polished and unique metal mix so it doesn't tarnish easily and hasn't for me at all yet. Tone and sound wise I would definitely recommend brass over glass any day! Not just because of the fit and fee but mostly the sound.Using a slide takes a while to get used to also so be patient. Getting your own technique takes practice but will pay off at some point and get you that sound!

Nice quality steel. There is no slight roughness to the surface like some slides, which I will add with a piece of sandpaper. Experienced slide players will know what I'm talking about. Only problem is it's a little small. I use my average size pinky for slide, and this is even a little small for my pinky. You might want to order a bigger size.

It slides

Been meaning to learn some slide techniques but keep losing the cheapies I’ve bought over the years. This one also leans on the cheaper side, but I trust the Fender name and decided to give this a chance.It’s exactly what it says on the tin (plastic?): a slide. It’s not very weighty, as one should expect at this price point, but it’s solid. Could likely take being thrown around a gig bag for a good while without showing any notable wear. As for how it sounds? Pretty good, any inconsistencies in sound are definitely user error.

Be warrned, I'm an adult male, with average sized hands and the only finger it fits well is my pinky. That aside, it's a good slide for the money, I'm just starting out learning slide guitar, so I'll make do and see if I need a larger one in the future. It's nice and smooth with machined edges. I'm excited to start learning how to use it.

It works, but I've had to learn with my pinky finger rather than index. Oh well, new way to play I guess.What irks me is my inability to resend it for a larger size. Not sure if that's Amazon or Fender, but either way I'm stuck with it.

I have used several slides over the past few years as a slide player -- a Dunlop 271 glass blues bottle, a Dunlop brass 222 and a Dunlop steel 220 as well as this Fender FCSS1steel slide; not necessarily in that order. I will switch depending on the tone I'm looking for at that moment, and speed I want. And some slides are faster than others -- something needed if you're concentrating on some faster runs. The Fender FCSS1 steel is the fastest metal slide I have in my arsenal. It also has a little bit less, inadvertent 'crackle' noise on my single coil guitars than my Dunlop steel. It's about a millimeter longer -- and it's a very good slide, which is why I ordered two of them. The Fender slide sounds good, too. Chrome steel slides generally will give you more highs to work with than brass or glass, which can be a plus, depending on your guitar and other settings. You can always compensate with your tone control, amp, or stomp box (if you use one). My Fender FCSS1 sounds a hair more 'open' than my Dunlop 220. Like I said, I use the Fender when I want speed and agility (on vibrato too) , as well as the tone you get from steel. The Fender FCSS1 is well worth the investment for any slide player.

This slider is my first, and I have been reslly enjoying it. Fits nicely on the finger, doesn't feel too heavy or cumbersome.

Qualidade inegável! O tamanho ficou largo para o meu filho de 16 anos. Mas preferi não devolver, pois acredito dentro de pouco tempo vai servir.

Único contra q eu tenho é q o diâmetro interno dele é mto largo pro meu dedo, mas isso aí dá pra resolver fácil. Fora isso é um ótimo slide, tem mto sustain.

Bought this for my 17 y/o son. Here’s his testimonial: “I like it and it works.” That’s about as much as a 17 yr old boy will admit to liking something. I consider that a win.

buon sound

Conforme à mes attentes. J'attends la première chute pour constater sa solidité.😜
