    Tried on bass and guitar is a fun accessory that can make sounds nice but it is awfully expensive! I bought a real bow for € 15 it does not have a continuous sound as the ebow but it does not hurt!

    - Expensive for what it is, and in my opinion, it is a device to be used sparingly, but having said that, it produces a very nice sound and it produces a small effect on the audience, c ' is undeniable, especially when its working its downstream. Filres with a reverse delay, distortion, there's plenty to do really terrible things.

    Really nice.

    We put some time in early to find the right position, then even more time behind the rope to change. We eventually set it aside until we look back and say that is that the sound will be nice for such a passage of such recovery or composite. So we end up bring it to every rehearsal and inflate everyone for a few minutes by using it on a cover of Pink Floyd on a solo ending. Other musicians who were friends before all this, do not on speaking and whispering behind your back. The E bow is a social drama as to summarize, there is a bit expensive compared to the anecdotal use that one has, as a result we want to settle down anywhere, then it becomes reasonable and it becomes nice ...

    The Ebow (electronic bow) is a guitar effect.
    Used by the greatest, it is one of the most confusing effects of the past 20 years. Infinite sustain and high sensitivity are waiting for you!
    It's what the brochure says.
    In reality, it takes a little time to adapt and a little practice.
    It's nice to use occasionally or "psyche" just his compositions but the price is exorbitant for I find a little piece of plastic so fragile. It's been two times that I reaffixable mine.
    Basically: it's two plastic balls (when we could think otherwise). He should have quit doing steel to increase its weight.

    Most is you can do a mulititudes sound depending on how it is used. Everything explained in the instructions are in English of course (but you still work the same bte to get there). This is an original accessory.

    I use it since 2004 and I am glad plutt.

    I would do this choice to the extent I use it fairly regularly. However, it should perhaps not be for everyone. Let me explain, it is a device designed to do a lot of effects like violoning and its use as I said above is not really empty ds beginners. Clearly it is impossible to re-create what the guy on the tape provided unless you really work this thing and the dlaisser mdiator.

    So if that's what kind of effects you want to incorporate your game, or you want to drop the mdiator, I'd say it's a good investment. on the other hand, if an accessory you just want to try because, well, you never heard the sound of something or want to toy once or twice, take it to a friend. Note that you can activate only one rope once.

    A tip before you buy, see what has given the seller. I would put even when a note ..

When a variable current traverses the coil, the field magntique electro-magnet is disturbed and makes the strings vibrate. The IDE dpart silent to increase the volume of the instrument, to dveloppement rcurrent problem of electric amplification. This solution n'eu no success as required to completely review the practice of the instrument. It is amusing to note that the opposite principle was applied by George Beauchamp in 1931 for the design of the solid-body electric Premire: clbre the A-22 Electro / Rickenbacker, better known as the Frying Pan.
    Much has t dj scribed on the Ebow.
    To call it an Electronic Bow is - say electronic bow, which implies also a sustainer (a real one!) And gnrateur harmonics.
    The effect is impressive and simple to use, less master. Yes it is an instrument vritable with its peculiarities and techniques of the game No it is not a simple gadget. The Ebow provides more vritable ventail and opens a great opportunity, especially with effects!

    Problem: the very first time that the discovering, we say: what?! 135 euros for this thing?! Imagine a box about the size of a laptop softphone valve, low-end plastic, poorly finished and inspiring little confidence in its solidity. Better not drop it! Also the little switch is not slction prcis and impractical, and also does not give the impression that it will work for long. The instrument is proudly stamped "Made in United States!" Is can be manufactured in the United States by coren VIRS who have made their country because they were not working well enough? That's a joke sr: Asian know-how is now indisputable and is srieusement compete with products "made in United States." The Ebow had better be based on the "made in Asia!"

    So in total I do not regret anything, but 135 euros is theft!

    NB: a newcomer is competing with the Ebow: The Resonator Guitar Vibesware home. At 339 euros, this is not a cheap alternative! By trssrieuse is against the construction and allows a game, keeping both hands on the guitar, since it's actually a kind of Ebow up. You can also see me on the Resonator Guitar.

    Before trying the e-bow I experienced the violin bow. It must be said that it would be very limited only because the radius of neck guitars. With e-bow, a colleague lent me, that's another thing: endless sustain, relatively easy handling. You still have to tame it because it is held at the beginning is tricky especially if one uses the fingers to play. It is true that there are creative possibilities of egg but be careful not to abuse the beast because it can quickly become boring and tiring the audience.

    What about price? Expensive for what it is above all that we do not use it every day. There are other similar systems in particular, but Fernandes is more expensive and not practical.
    So to try and think before embarking on the purchase.

    The E-Bow Electronic Bow == (Archer)
    It is now almost 2 years that I have, but its use is not regular ....
    This is the first archer mail I use.
    Very lightweight and compact but usability is not quite it.
    Try before you buy and especially to think carefully about the use we going to do!

    I think I would do without that choice issue, but I love gadgets!

    Some titles or you can hear it in action:
    - "Heroes" by David Bowie (played by Mick Ronson on the live tribute to Freddy Mercury)
    - "Space Dye Vest" by Dream Theater (from 5'10 ")
    - "Bare" Anthrax
    - "Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion)" by Def Leppard
    - "Walking in My Shoes" by Depeche Mode (from 2'45 "we begin to hear)

    I use it since my purchase (2007).
    It is not easy to master the animal the more I use it on my bass. But it's better than Harcher gallery with a cello.
    The pros:
    - We create beautiful tablecloths.
    - You do not play the bass but it uses the bass as an instrument to create atmospheres.
    - Pair it with other effects and make electro.
    - Not at all hungry battery.
    - The blue LED attracts the attention of everyone.
    - Harmonic function through the volume pot down.

    The -:
    - It requires a great mastery on bass (not close enough rope = no sound = too close to the other musicians you throw their cans through the mouth). More reason to train at home alone!

    - It seems expensive for a battery and a plastic case that looks like a large stapler.
    - Difficult to play with the other strings while using the E-bow.

    Conclusion:
    The E-bow looses its feathers if you do not want to play that in a conventional manner. If like me you want to explore what can be done with a low (particularly in the electro), it is a good companion to use that wisely.
    I would do this choice because it is actually part of my pedal-board.

    I would never put that 7 because the designer could provide a model special low (the same principle as the rightists do not think left-handed) and it requires a minimum of mastery.

    I use the E-Bow for quite some years, mainly for studio overdubs. this is useful for creating original sounds and layers (coupled with a bottleneck and a reverb for example) that sound as different synth sounds. the harmonic mode is fine, I use mainly.

    I used it live but it is not practical to move the pick to the Ebow, because it must be viewed to have exactly the same sound, especially that the string vibrates a lot, which brings a significant increase in output level.

    It takes some time before to know the place and use it seamlessly. I think it works better with humbuckers.

    it's still a bit expensive for what it is. live, I think a fernandes sustainer is more suitable, but it means a big change on a guitar. E bow is more flexible on this point and allows use on different guitars. Note that it is very nice on an acoustic.
