Interchangable slides with Getzen BASS?

I am looking to possibly move to a single-bore handslide for my Getzen 3062, possibly in rose brass? I understand that Conn is compatible with Getzen tenor receivers. Is the same true for bass?

Yes, it's true for bass as well. The only stock Getzen option would be a 1052 slide. You can also get an Edwards slide and have a Getzen tenon put on.

Back in the day, Edwards used to make some slides with a "Conn" fitting. They might still do that as a special order, but I would guess that it would not be cheap or quick.

You could also change the receiver on your bell section to take Edwards slides. That would open a lot more options for you. Edwards, Bach, Shires..
Then you could just look for a Edwards V slide if you want rose.
