WTB: Niles era Slingerland 14x14 Floor tom

Posts: 4009 Threads: 209

Looking for a niles era slingy 14x14 floor tom. Looking to complete a project. 3-ply or 5-ply does not matter. Finish not important as I was planing on finishing it in natural maple anyway. Prefer no extra holes in the shell, but I can deal. Also.....if you have just the shell, I would settle for that as well. Prefer seperate tension models, but would also consider "club date" (sorry slingy guys, its the only term I can relate to that describes the lug setup) style center mounted lug too. Also, prefer the shell to have a maple outer ply rather than mahogany, but if not I can also deal with that too (maple veneer anyone? :p)

If you have something....anything like what I'm describing, please PM me here.

Well...for the time being I found a 12x15 "floor tom", center lug variety, that will do for now, but I'd really like to find a 14x14 still....so if anyone has something...please PM me.

Jeez, L-dude.....I just sold a 14 x 14 on eBay last week. I put it up here on VDF for $175.00 and shipping, nobody bit on that so I had to let her go.

Wish I had known this earlier, I would prefer it went to a member....

Well...I found a 12x15 shell and may convert that, but I also have my eye on a 14x14 on ebay right now, but I'll only go for it if its reasonable money. If the 14 falls through I'll let you guys know how it goes on my floor tom conversion prooject for the 12x15. Excited

I am thinking of doing the same thing (12x15) I know how the 14x14 sounds, wandering how a 12x15 will sound?

Well...the 12x15 is a stillborn project. They guy I bought it from off of ebay CAN'T FIND IT! Now how's that for a kick in the crotch!

I did spot a 14x14 on there, but it has gone into stupid $$ catagory now......I'm thinking of aborting the whole project now and selling off the bass drum to recoup my losses.
