Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 Does anyone here us an Ebow on their acoustic? If so, how do you like it? Do you find that it works better with a soundhole pickup? Is there any way to make it sound more natural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how do you like it?Do you find that it works better with a soundhole pickup?Is there any way to make it sound more natural? Oooo--now THAT'S a great question. I've never thought of trying one on an amplified acoustic--but now I must. Damn. Stocking stuffer for myself, maybe? You see, one of my favorite all-time songs is R.E.M.'s "Ebow the Letter". Between Patti Smith's backing vocals and the Ebow sound itself, together with the stream-of-consciousness Stipe wordplay that makes it almost impossible to cover...and it's a beautiful tune besides...oh yeah. This I must try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I use an Ebow on a few "trio" tunes (never figured out anything for solo gigs using it)...no magnetic P/U, only UST. W/ a good digital delay setting, you can do some very cool things!Kinda cool on my banjos, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
