Hi all!
Does anyone have an Emmons steel bar for sale? Or maybe another brand, please let me know for some ideas.
Best regards,
Mathew Jut

I'll second Billy's recommendation. Unbeatable price and an excellent bar

Thanks all! I've just purchased an Emmons steel bar from someone in the US. I just want to try something else out besides my Dunlop and BJS bar. I will definitely try also out the one from Ebay! Again, much thanks for all of your reactions and recommendations.

If it's something different your after, Mathew. You should take a look at Basil Henriques' Ezzee-Slide bars. They are a completely different kettle of fish! I found mine to be very slick and speedy with a unique tone. I love it

The eBay bar is from Ben ("Ben's Bars") - I got one of the very first. Excellent prep, tone and balance, and unbeatable price. Best steel bar I ever tried was a BJS, which I still have, but even that has some drag and string noise. The slickest by far is Basil's Eezzee-Slide made from medical grade polymer with a metal core - tungsten, in my case. Lovely feel, warm to the hand, very very quiet, although I think there is a tiny reduction in the top end and sustain. I use Basil's bar all the time these days, although I am keeping the other bars. Your mileage may vary...
