Hey Ive just noticed after re-watching the roof show on TV, that Edge had a really small slide on Magnificent, which Ive not seen him use before.

It was litereally almost the size of a large ring. Has he used this before??

Galeongirl · 03-01-2009, 12:49 PM

Yes, Miracle Drug comes to mind, and City of Blinding lights.

Dallas customly makes those for him, which sucks because I'd love to have one. Never been able to find one. I have a regular slide but it's too big, so I never play it anyway.

MooMoo! · 03-01-2009, 12:59 PM

Meh, just get a normal one and cut it.

Mines glass so...sort of stuck there.

Galeongirl · 03-01-2009, 01:07 PM

How on earth do I cut metal without tools?

I'd need a workbench to clamp it in and some kind of metal saw or so.

MooMoo! · 03-01-2009, 01:42 PM

Oh...well...hmm.

A junior hacksaw should do it, theyre pretty cheap, can get them for £1 sometimes.

Though you'd need a clamp too...so you could clamp it to a table. No idea how much they cost, but I think its certainly do-able with a small budget.

The slide itself would probably cost the most.

That said, surely such a thing already is on sale?! there are half length capos, why not slides?

I asked in the guitar shop, they only had this size. Perhaps there's a store somewhere that sells them, I just haven't found it yet!

Dunlop

Seems a similar idea, but no idea how big is is in comparison to the finger.

Dunlop

Also the weeny one there. Again, no reference pics to know how big is is in relation to Edges.

Hm the first says 1 inch, that's 2,5 cm.. quite big, but closer to Edge's size yes.

That 2nd looks really similar!

Only a tiny bit bigger than Edge's. I'd say his are 2/3d that size.

The middle one in the second link is what I use. I really like it. I went through several full-size slides before I got the idea to try a short one from watching The Edge. It's much easier for me to play. Definitely worth trying.

Galeongirl · 03-02-2009, 01:42 AM

Now all I gotta do is find out where to get one!

During Boots' breakdown, when Larry stands up, what is he playing?

Roland V-Drum Pro electronic pad. Good stuff!

Like the pads seen in the piccy below:

I bought one of these from Allans music in Australia, it was still slightly longer than edges on city, miracle, magnificent etc. so i just used a hacksaw to trim it down to size then filed the edges smooth pretty simple 20 mins work and works perfect for those slides and gives the ability to go stright back to regular notes

zotty · 04-24-2009, 06:24 PM

All this talk about the ring slide that edge has....he used them during the vertigo tour, his were custom made by dallas, but YOU can get yours here. Their called the James Musser ring. Heres the link: James Musser Ring - Online Store
