cheap and good slide
http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/stor...p-link-bushing
This is a close picture of what I got at our local Agri Supply for 69 cents, in fact I got two! It appears to be brass, nice thickness/weight. It does not cover my entire pinky as my 'real' steel slide does, but is much thicker....nice tone: one and seven eights long, 15/16's outside to outside diameter and between a 16th and an 8th thick. As a bonus the ends have a slight bevel.

Before I clicked on the link, I saw it was TSC and thought, "Heck, you could just pick up a bushing!"
Great minds think alike but it's weird that ours do too.

Stuff like this and old broken bottlenecks were what the old guys used.
It'll work.

I've been using an 11/16 Craftsman socket lately.

I have been trying to find a good brass slide for acoustic work. I have bought three of them and didn't like them for one reason or another.
It's getting expensive. Still searching for something to fit a ring size 10 on the ring finger. Would Lowes or HD have something like this? Thx.

Hey whatever works. Haha.
I used a beer bottle for a while just messing around attempting to play Free Bird until last month I finally got a “real" glass slide. I wish I would have known about that though. I could have saved like $10 haha

My son turned down and polished up a length of brass pipe stock and it has turned into my go-to reso slide.
