Twanging the EBOW

[MackSonne]

The ebow is an electronic device that replaces ur pick in favour of a constant vibration on yor string through magnetic fields. Scottish Band Big Country were perpetual fans of it. The response given is a almost neverending sustain, and a whole range of sounds the guitar does not usually do.

Has anyone in Singapore used the EBOW? How was the experience?

Anyone selling it here?

the instructional tape/CD that comes with it is insane.

played with it quite a bit long time back....just needs some time to get the hang of it ....very nice for swells with violin like effect !!

i've used it. wmum had one of those but its been sold already. SORRY! its really hard to use at first but after awhile, its really really coool and simple. its damn weird also la at times. if u do not have proper control over it, it screeches. warning do not place the ebow right over ur pickups.

its like learning the guitar.

easy to learn but damn hard to master.
