I saw this thing in the musicians friend catalog and i want one. i figure that it can probably make some weird stuff come out of a guitar. anyone heard one being used before?

Mar 09, 2003 07:16 pm Yeah, my friend has an E-Bow.
They make for really cheesy 80's type sounds, you can get some wierd effects, but it's not really my cup of tea.
I'm sure someone can list some songs / artists who have used them to good effect for you to listen to.

Mar 09, 2003 09:55 pm E-Bows are great fun! I've heard them used in all sorts of interesting ways. Coldplay has several songs using one and those are probably the best uses I've encountered. It's like anything else: Used in moderation, they can be really cool, but it's just another tool in the toolbox. I say get one!

Mar 09, 2003 10:57 pm The Smashing Pumpkins used an E-bow on both Adore and Machina (Also on Machina II, but most people don't know that album exists). They're fun little toys, take some getting used to though.

Mar 10, 2003 12:56 pm ya, i figure 80 bucks for a "new" instrument isn't bad. I like toys.

If so, John Squire used one in The Seahorses.
