You really don't wanna go buying one of these, I mean, do you really want to go having to change your style to contend with the fact that suddenly, you hardly need to touch the strings? That's gonna take some getting used to isn't it!? As is getting used to the bass strings sounding just as loud down their length as they do open, I mean, big booming bass, it's just not 'authentic' is it? Talking of un-authentic, most of your string noise is going to disappear, how are you gonna sound like the old guys then eh? And another thing, if it doesn't wear out, where's your excuse to go and buy the next 'dream' slide that could, maybe change your life then eh? Gone! And another 'nother thing, people are going to ask you why you're playing 'that thing' so loud now. 'We can hear it through the walls!' they cry and 'Why are you playing it so much now? You need to eat'. The complaints, you just don't need it. Lets face it, £257(inc p&p), its a fortune isn't it? That's virtually 35 packets of cigarettes,....or 70 odd pints! I had to get rid of a really mediocre Chinese Epiphone casino(which did look really good in the cupboard!) to afford one. I really miss it now, maybe I should have sold one of the other countless things I don't play or use, just couldn't make up my mind which! And did I mention how much heavier it is than the average slide? I mean, as if a resonator isn't heavy enough to haul around, this really could be the tubular thing that breaks the camels back, or yours!! Of course the main reason I think that you shouldn't buy a Wolfram slide is that's as a distinctly average, beginner slide player, I'm going to lose the massive advantage I've just gained over you slide wizards out there. Let's face it, with your technique, you folks don't need any of this 'trickery', so just leave it alone.....please! .......Pretty please!! ......with bells on!!! Chris

After reading the blurb and looking at the specs the Martin Simpson signature model looks like it would be slide utopia for me.
Although I am in two minds, one minute I think that I would be a fool to spend £250 on a slide and the next I think that it is a price worth paying for the perfect slide.
