EBow Plus : Needs practice, does the task but looks fragile

11 years ago

This is unique. The only way to achieve similar results without it is with a Sustainer equiped in your guitar.

It needs a lot of practice to get the desired results.

You have to be very careful with the string height and the vibration amplitude because it may rattle against the ebow if too close or not work if too far.

It is difficult to use it at higher frets. in this situation, you need to find the right placement (most of the cases, around the midpoint between the fret and the bridge) and eventualy press it down to get it closer to the string.

It is very sensible to pickups. when placed over the pickup that you are using, it gets VERY loud.

When used at the first and sixth strings, it has no support at one of the sides, so ir requires you to be even more precise.

When you manage to master the ebow, you can do very cool stuff.

Although it works very well, it is extremely fragile. you have to be very careful or you will break it.
