Early 60's Slingy Bass Drum Shell

Posts: 6287 Threads: 375

Looking for a early 60's 20x14 16-lug or 22x14 20-lug Slingerland bass drum shell with maple exterior suitable for a lacquer re-finish. No hardware or hoops needed, no extra holes.

Thanks

Thanks Deadhead.... I'm in the same situation.

I have a 13 tom and a 16FT from about '58 to '60 in maple suitable for a painted or mahogany re-finish, and am looking for a bass to go with them. Heading toward a Krupa Ensemble if I ever find the bass... I've got all the components except the bass shell.... patience , patience, patience...LOL

Are those mahogany Slingy drums clean with a decent finish? I would be interested if so.

My '58 in Blue Glitter bass is in great shape, just some attractive crackling on the topside, but it is going towards a project. Otherwise, it would be yours for the asking, my friend!
