SHUBB AX Axys Reversible Slide, Bronze

While in use, the brass slide is a hefty, no-compromise tool that features unsurpassed tone and control. 
When rotated behind the hand (which takes less than a second) it leaves all the fingers free for unencumbered, 
conventional fretting. It works so well because of the unique 2-piece design: the Delrin "ring" section remains 
in place on the finger as the brass "sleeve" section is rotated with the thumb. The move is done with one hand, 
so quickly that it doesn't interrupt a solo, and any player can master it with very little practice. 
The revolutionary advantage of the AXYS reversible guitar slide is immediatly apparent to anyone who plays 
slide guitar!

We suggest using the Axys on your RING FINGER.

Many slide players have designated their pinky as the slide finger, probably because with the traditional
tubular slides or bottlenecks this was the best way to gain some limited use of the other fingers for fretting.
Since the AXYS offers such unrestricted use of all the fingers, we encourage you to consider reassigning the 
slide to the ring finger or even the middle finger. Most players find this to provide greater control and 
versatility. It will work just fine on your pinky, of course, but this is a whole new ballgame now and you 
don't want to overlook any good possibilities!

to the front of the stage.

Wound with the premium alloy Monel, Jazz Bass strings sound deeper and offer more 
resistance than the more commonly used stainless steel wrap.

Flat out success
Across the globe, players choose Jazz Bass flatwound strings for a full tone that 
retains its clarity.
The distinctive sound and red silk ends of these strings have been revered by iconic 
bassists such as Roger Waters, Phil Lynott, Sting, John Deacon, Dee Murrey, and Glen Matlock.

Mighty Monel
Monel is an alloy of nickel and copper and brings to our strings the benefit of a strong tone 
and resistance to corrosion. 
The build spec remains a close kept secret but the Monel 400 tape used in Jazz Bass 77 strings 
brings out their true character over the much less costly flattened stainless steel.
