This Bach 50 bass trombone handslide is a fantastic find for any serious bass trombone player or technician looking for a high-quality replacement or upgrade. Made in the early 1990s, this slide represents a great era of Bach craftsmanship, known for solid build quality and excellent playability.
This is a used slide that has been recently set up and fine-tuned by a well-known retired West Coast repair technician. Thanks to this professional work, the slide moves exceptionally well, with smooth, consistent action across all positions. It plays fantastic with no mechanical issues whatsoever.
While there is some lacquer loss typical for its age, there is no red rot, and importantly, no plating wear on the inner slide tubes — a critical factor for maintaining smooth action and long-term durability.
