E Bow E Bow Plus By songboy on 01/23/2009 I would like to make music my profession

Overall Opinion

I have had the Ebow for 1 year. What I like most about this item is basically its main purpose, giving you the ability to play a guitar like a violin (not exactly like a violin, but a simulation of). You can create some amazing guitar solos with this device. Another great option on this device is the ability to chose regular mode (creates the pitch you are actually playing on the fret board) or harmonic mode (adds overtones but is harder to play). Don't be fooled by what the ads and some might say, this is not a "easy" thing to use and sound great with right away. However, don't be too afraid, with a little practice time, it starts to sound cool. If you have a looping device, this thing will be some of the best fun you have ever had. The thing I like least about the unit is how awful it sounds when you hit the strings. Thats not exactly the ebow's fault, its more of the player's fault, but it takes some getting used to especially when you are switching to a different string. As for different models, this is the only one I have ever tried. I got mine used for $60. They normally go for around $80-90. I will put it this way, unless you are really going to spend the time to learn how to use this unit properly, its not worth much at all. You really can't half ass it, it is a very finicky device. But, get comfortable with it and use it tastefully and it will blow peoples minds. I personally love mine and have created multi layered guitar solos in the studio and come up with the craziest "sigur ros" type euphoria. Do be careful though, this is really just a small plastic device so you can easily lose it, and maybe break it. I dropped mine and it split and the battery when flying out. It actually went right back together and works great, but if they made a metal version, or something a little stronger, I would be much happier.

Overall Opinion

- For how long have you been using it?
A few months.

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
It's amazing! Nothing else i've ever tried does anything like this!
It's small...easy to carry around...and can even work on an acoustic if you practice a little.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Nope, i heard about it & ordered it!

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
I paid 60 € i think, but i think it's still expensive for what it is. Should be half that, if even that much...

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...
It takes quite a bit of practice and if you're into this sort of thing then maybe check out the Moog Guitar...which might be much better.
But, well, listen to Brian May's work on Queen records and that'll give you an idea of what can be done with this thing. It's unique, and it sounds that way.
