Product ReviewsShubb Sp2 Guitar Steel Slide Chromed Brass

A rookie's explanation

I'm a pro guitar player, and a beginner dobro player. Playing guitar first really does help, however I'm a rookie at rating bars, but I'll give it a try.

A friend recommended this bar because on one end was a rolled up curve which he liked. And in my mind's eye, it seemed like a good idea. But after using it, it's not the best for me for a crisp pull-off. Or maybe it is and I don't know how to use the rounded end properly. The other end is the same as the other bars, but flipping it in my hand is something I don't want to do. But I'm sure it's a great option if I really knew how it was supposed to be used.

I also have big hands So I ordered the Shubb GS1 w/the wood top because it's taller overall and offers a place for my index finger to fall over comfortable and there's no rolled up end which makes pull-offs easier and crisper.

And with all this, I met Mr. Shubb at NAMM and his products are have always been top drawer.Read full review...

Best Slide I Own

I'm learning to play lap steel. I have tried three slide bars including this Shubb SP2. The Shubb is my favorite over a round heavy bar and different rail style bar. It's slightly heavier and taller than the other rail style slide. The semi-bullet tip gives the Shubb a nice feel and I think it will be good for single note playing if I ever get good enough.

This is the original, high quality, Shubb stainless steel slide.

High quality, solid, stainless steel that will not wear out for many years of use. The knock-off versions are usually plated or coated and will not provide long lasting perform performance.

Best Tone Bar

For me the BEST tone bar out there. I have been a Stevens guy for 40 years. Still good, but someone recommended the SP2 and now I am hooked!
