I have an Ebow, but I suppose it's for guitar. I got it to work ok sometimes, but it is pretty difficult to get it going right away. I would actually like to know if there is one made more for the big bass strings also.

Presently there is no bass ebow. Michael Manring had mentioned being in talks about demoing a prototype if they built one but thus far they haven't. It does work on bass, just trickier since you can't rest it on the strings.

Tried to do it , even putting Ebow over the string without resting on strings and it didnt work .Wonder why? Anyway just gotta wait ... thx

You just need to refine your technique. I've been using one for about eight years and Michael Manring actually uses two simultaneously. If you don't hold it perfectly parrellel to the string it won't sustain for long and ebow placement makes a difference depending on the thickness of the string I've found, least in terms of how quick you reach full volume.
