Carbon fiber slides

do they exist? Because it seems like they should.

A playground I went to a few months back had one.

hmmm........

W@s it sterile?

I meant guitar slides. I thought of it when messing w/ a wooden one. I wonder whether or not it would sound just like you were playing a bass w/ a carbon fiber neck.

Sorry for my attempt at humor.

I honestly don't know if a carbon fiber slide would be hard enough to get a good tone. It would definitely sound more like a wooden slide than a metal or glass slide.

In my experience, something somewhat soft isn't bad for a bass slide, but high mass seems to be very helpful. I settled on one that resembles a pedal steel bar, made from soft brass. I have some carbon tubes about the right size kicking around here (windsurfing gear leftovers), so I'll give it a shot and post back. I think it's just make a big mess, most likely.

i have a glass one. It's a dream. Now i can do a Mark Sandman tribute

What about an e-bow for bass? It would require hella power, but it would be cool.

The slide joke probably wasn't any worse than my 'sterile' joke.
