Vintage tone bar slides?
Re: Vintage tone bar slides?
No need to dig your collection up- I was being facetious but that's not always obvious in written text!rshatz wrote:My collection is currently in storage while I move into a new house. As I remember it, the red bars are coated metal and the green bars are Bakelite with lead centers.The green bars are definitely more mellow sounding.johnhall wrote:Would you mind comparing the tone of the red ones versus the green? I've heard so many people say the red ones have a hotter sound.
I also had the same thoughts about these as some of the other guys but thought better of saying anything. Still, I think Manley Labs should make their own version of these.

It appears they do make their own version, they have just repurposed them.johnhall wrote:rshatz wrote: Still, I think Manley Labs should make their own version of these.
