Hi,

I received my Hohner 268 bass this February and installed the SliderBass (the last one made for it, actually) this July. It's been a joy to use, as I am not primarily a bass harmonica player. Legato playing was never easier to perform, with the slide and more comfortable mouthpiece. I've taken my bass to several jam sessions, and with my newly acquired Suzuki bass harmonica microphone it's even more fun. It transforms the sound closer to a bowed (Arco) upright bass. I hope to gig with it soon.

The only major drawback I can think of is it would be troublesome if you would ever need to remove the slider to clean the instrument.

Do any of you have a SliderBass? I'd love to hear your experience with it, including a comparison of before you installed the SliderBass. Please state which model Bass Harmonica you have, too.
