Best Birthday gift eva.

My girlfriend totally bought me an Ebow... this thing is too much fun for words. And perfect timing cause I have to write a solo sunday for muh black metal band...

Sounds very cool. I've seen pictures of Cory Allen, guitarist for Acerbus (RIP), using an electric violin's bow on his guitar. It's always boggled me as to how people can use them effectively.

i recall once we pitched in to buy larry of ND one for his birthday. i got to pick it out- it was one with the blue light! someone dropped it and we ended up taping it back together. i'm not certain it wasn't me that dropped it.

I want one, but they're damn expensive.

Just wondering, is it easy to use it on multiple strings and such? I'm not to familiar with the actual usage of it...

 

[TheNewChupe]

actually, i'm not real certain you can use it on multiple strings. from what i recall, it's got a little groove where the next strings up and down fit into so it will hover above the middle string and vibrate it, muting the strings around it. you might be able to maneuver it around that by holding it differently, but i don't know; only played with them a few times.

 

[ChromeLife]

one string at a time, but you can sweep with it.

You should marry her.

Ebows are cool. That's on my list of equipment to buy when I finally get a job.

i really appreciate elbows because they allow me to scratch my nose.

I bet you can't lick your Ebow.
