FenderBrass Slide 2 Fat Large
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A brass slide in a large, fat profile. For players who want a heavy, warm slide voice on electric or resonator guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blues and rock players wanting a thick, warm slide tone
- Electric guitars with medium to heavy string gauges
- Players with larger fingers who need a wide bore
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting bright, glassy slide attack — glass suits that better
- Light-gauge strings on low action, where a heavy slide rattles
- Small fingers, where a large bore slips and wobbles
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Fat wall thickness
Adds mass over a thin-wall slide, so it presses strings down more easily and sustains longer.
Detail 03
Large size
Wider inner bore for thicker fingers. Too big and it swings loose, which kills intonation control.
Detail 04
Metal construction
Won't shatter if dropped, unlike glass. Practical for gigging and travel.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your finger — slide should be snug but slip off without pulling
- 02Slide playing usually wants higher action and heavier strings to avoid fret buzz
- 03Brass tarnishes over time; a wipe-down keeps the surface smooth
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Brass or glass slide?
Brass is warmer and louder with more midrange and sustain, plus more finger noise. Glass is brighter and cleaner. Brass also survives drops.
02Which finger does a slide go on?
Pinky or ring finger most often, so your remaining fingers can still fret notes. Pinky gives the most freedom, ring finger gives more control.
03Will this work on acoustic guitar?
Yes. Heavier slides like brass work well on acoustic and resonator, where you want mass to drive the top.
04Do I need to change my guitar setup?
Low action causes fret buzz under a slide. Raising the action and using heavier strings makes slide playing cleaner.
