Sorry...just slides,beer bottles,lighters etc.If you mean "bow" instead of "ebow"...yeah, on my old boss Jeff Martins gibson in soundcheck a few times."ebow" wasn,t in the dictionary.Bows rock with distortion pedals,and flangers.Lots of fun experimenting. - Fri, 11 Jul 2003 1:57am

Mmmmm, EBow.

I don't use one on my bass, but I sure would like to. I drool over the one in the case at L&M once in a while. - Fri, 11 Jul 2003 3:41am

Music is good. It soothes the savage beast. It helps plants grow. And if I could teach the world to sing in perfect harmony...ahhh...SLAYER! - Fri, 11 Jul 2003 3:42am

And e-bow is an electromagnetic dealy that makes strings vibrate at their resonant frequency for whatever note they're fretted on..... Therefore you have infinite sustain...... You get CRAZY harmonic out of the stuff, and the strings are vibrating like hell so the guitar feel seriously alive when you play it.....

Delicious.... - Fri, 1 Aug 2003 2:35am

You wanna hear the sound of an e-bow, go no further than Heroes.....

I don't know if that is done with an e-bow, but that's the sound....

A lot of Smashing Pumpkins has e-bow in it..... It's actually quite surprising how many songs it's been on....... - Mon, 4 Aug 2003 2:51am

"Heroes" does not have e-bow on it; that's just Robert Fripp and his sustain pedal. The first song I ever heard that used an e-bow was "Fade Away and Radiate" by Blondie; Ford Pier uses one on most of the Veda Hille records (I rib him mercilessly about it). I find them clumsy to use and the fact that they only play one string at a time limits their usefullness. Try a Gizmotron instead (if you can find one, good luck) - Wed, 6 Aug 2003 2:56pm
