Jim Dunlop Mudslide® Porcelain Medium Wall Slide

I compared this slide with my large glass Dunlop slide played on a Martin 12 string. The tone is noticeably better, especially on the low strings, whereas the glass slide was harsh sounding. The glass slide was always a bit too large for my pinky finger and the Mudslide is just a little too small. But this helps Mudslide stay on my finger. I love this slide. I play alot of 12 string slide and it's really improved my sound. I considered buying the Ken Mo slide until I saw him using a Mudslide in an early video. I think the Ken Mo slide is just a Mudslide but twice the cost. I highly recommend it.

My favorite slide so far. Perfect thickness and weight. I used the size guide on dunlops website to make sure it would fit beforehand. It's a pdf with circles you put your fingers up to. Fits great on my pinky which is what I wanted it for but I decided to switch to my ring finger and it's a tad tight but sits snug at the bottom knuckle, so I guess it's good there too since that's what I was taught to be how you want the slide to fit.

So I have three slides -- glass, chrome, and the new porcelain mudslide. Pros of the Mudslide are how it fits my finger and deep rich tone. Cons are that it is a bit heavier to maneuver than the chrome or glass so it does affect speed a bit up and down the neck. And, it is less forgiving due to its large diameter. In other words, you have to be dead nuts on the fret otherwise it sours the note a bit which kind of goes against the principles of slide which is moving the finger back and forth a bit for some vibrato and sustain. So with that said, the thin wall chrome is still my go to slide. But when I want to slow down and experiment a bit with deeper, richer tones, I reach for the mud slide. As for the glass, it does not ring enough for me like the chrome slide.

This is my favorite slide. It produces a beautiful tone and the ceramic makes it very smooth and controlled. Just don't drop it on a tile floor like I did-it broke perfectly in half lengthwise. I glued it back together but I still ordered another the next day because I love it so much.

I use medium sized slides, but this one is a tad smaller and barely fits. Order one sizes larger and should be great. I like it other wise. The ceramic has a lot warmer tone, compared to glass or metal. The interior is porous and provides a good grip. It got some wait and feels solid. I will buy other one, this time size larger.

Excellent--comfortanle and great tone

Great slide. Fits perfectly. Price is good. Different sound than glass, steel, or brass.

The large is way too small, made for tiny fingers.
