Ebows

Is it me, or are they fucking amazing!?!
I got mine today, got a nice delayed distortion effect, and the second it touched the strings i got the perfect Bleak tone! Who else has one? I love how atmospheric they sound.. it's just the most brilliant sound.. Opeth use them so well

No lie, the guitarist in this band I used to be in had a FUCKING HOT PINK EBOW. He said it was from the 80s. I think he was right.

haha sweet.. i'm mildly obsessed with them now lol - my idea is to have a song mainly using harmonised ebow melodys and keyboard backing with a sexy bassline and laid back drumbeat..
Mine's the "plus-Ebow".
Nice to see that Opeth are mentioned in a booklet as an artist who used an Ebow on record.

I'd love to have a play around with one, but they're pretty expensive arn't they? Last time I looked, I think they were about $500... US$ too...
