Hello, Slider Bass SlideMeisters.
The Slider Bass is a custom attachment to
the Hohner #265 and #268 bass harmonicas.
It's also available, custom made for the Suzuki
#SDB29 and SDB39.
The Slider assembly is made by Brendan
Power, and installed by either a certified
harmonica technician, or by the bass harp's
owner.
If you own or want to buy a Power slider
bass assembly for fitting on your Hohner
#265 bass harmonica,here's the note chart.
In the chart, all notes are exhale, written in
large letters. Some notes are "enharmonic",
where the note may be spelled 2 ways, while
sounding the same pitch. This is done to allow
all chromatic-based scales' spellings:
F# = Gb (same pitch, different spellings)
G# = Ab
A# = Bb
C# = Db
D# = Eb
We are using sharps in this chart, to show that the
slide-in button raises the pitch. If we'd use flats,
it would be to show that the slide-in button lowers
the pitch.

Knowing where the notes are located on the slider bass
will help in learning to play the slider bass more effectively.
