Slingerland bass leg replacements

Posts: 6287 Threads: 375

Man, I was sick and tired of trying to find 5/16ths diameter bass legs for early sixties Slingerland bass drums.

I found a company..... Allmetalsincorporated that sells stainless round bars in various diameters, lengths, and grades.

I ordered two in 5/16ths diameter, 14 inches long in the 304 grade.

They have another grade... 303, but 5/16ths isn't offered in that grade.

Anyway, they arrived yesterday, and they look just fine.

The website is a little tricky when it comes to configuring the sizes, but doable, even for me.....lol !!

The total cost including shipping was $16.96

Probably someone has beat me to the punch on this, but it's new to me and thought I would share.

Another tip on coming up with these smaller legs..A small air-port like the one were iam at now.They work on small planes and used this type of steel rod..Anyway i went by a few weeks ago and ask the guy if he would sell the rod pieces off will he said no but go look over their in that pile you can have whatever you want for Free Cool!!..Down in O/C i have to buy it...Mikey
