Early 60's Slingy Bass Drum Shell

[kevins]

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

Who's got it?
Still looking.....
Thanks

Sigh, I have a shell I'm not using but its got a mahogany outer ply.

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!

Nice one. It seems to fit the bill nigh perfectly. Pop the wrap and lacquer her up...careful how you take that part of the post.

Thanks Mcjnic, I missed your post somehow.....
I saw that one, and thought the P stamped inside would mean a mahogany exterior ply, and I need a maple exterior.
Thanks again

[mcjnic]

P just stands for pearl covering. It could be either maple or mahog. No one really knows which it will be. Kinda like a cool box of the cracker jack!
