Sweet Baby James Signature Slide
James is one of Australia’s finest purveyors of stripped back hill country style blues. He plays his slide down to the second knuckle on his middle finger.
This is a great all round slide and always the first we recommend to anyone not sure what they need. Made from a dark green Bleasdale Port bottle. Fat tone. Mellow but plenty of volume. What more could you want?
Maybe bundle it in with James’ new CD: Double Voodoo Blues? $50 for a slide and CD? Bargain.

Cobalt Blue Slide
Ahhhhh. What a little bewdy. These cobalt blue slides are cut from bulbous blue bottles we get from a little Italian liquer company in Mile End.
The blue glass is heavy and really hard which means you get plenty of volume out of these guys. Tone is a lot sharper and spankier than what you get out of the mellower green, brown and yellow glasses.
The bottles have a slight but straight taper so internal diameter comes in two sizes: 21mm-19mm and 18mm-20mm
Length is an easy one. The necks of the bottles are approx. 90mm long so you can go as long or short as you like.
Simply fill out the requisite details and we’ll get busy in the workshop crafting your new cobalt blue slide.
