	EBow guitar effect EBOW GUITAR EFFECT - Stagebeat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		EBow is a hand-held electronic bow for guitar that replaces the pick in the right hand.
		EBow lets you play fast, or fade a string in from a motionless state for a reverse-tape effect.
		EBow is a synthesizer in the palm of your hand.

		First of all there's the EBow which is a held-held electronic bow for the guitar, and which no doubt you will have heard on so many songs.
		Moving the EBow from string to string while playing is possible, but it takes practice and isn't easy without getting a clunk or else a sudden loss of sound while you wait for the next string to get going.
		With an EBow you are feeding the signal straight into the pickup, but with the Fernandes system there is the whole distance from front to back pickups between the string being driven and the sound being captured.

	Unfretted Forum -> Using an Ebow with your frettless????
		Hey, I recently bought a Godin Multiac fretelss with the "synth access" and I was just wondering if anyone has used an Ebow with their fretless to simulat violin or cello sounds.
		Ebow can work without pickups, but it works best when you hold it over a pickup.
		I too have gotten the Ebow to work with steel string acoustics, on the lighter strings, at least, but it takes longer to excite the string.

		I am in no way trying to tab every single part note-for-note, instead I am focusing on the ebow parts and the wah guitar parts that blends in with the vox.
		Ebow Intro: (use a wah as a filter in the bass position) e----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B--11~~~~~~~--14~~~~~~~-11p9-11~~~~~~~~~~-14~~-9\7~-7/9~~-11~~-6-7~~~~~~~~~~~- G----------------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Band Enters e---------------------------------------------------------------------------- B--9--6-\4--\2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-------------/11~~~~~~~~--14~~~~-11\-2/9~~~~~---- G-----------------------------3~~~~~~~--------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-----------------------
		When the band enters, there is a guitar playing a wah part that is hard to seperate from the vox part.

		Some of the things you can do with the Ebow are: Fade a string in from a motionless state for a reverse-tape effect.
		Moving the Ebow away from the pickup gives you the mellow sound of a hollow body electric.
		The Ebow is a bit expensive tho, I think mine ran me about $80.

		I think it is at a perfect price right now but i think you should lower it so that other people like me can aford it and then you will have more people buying this product from you.
		I wish there was a way to disassemble the ebow to be able to fix or modify it (you know like...
		As the instructions with it recommend, when using the ebow use the bridge pickup.

		EBows are very cool, and while they take a bit of work to get the hang of, they're a good addition to any guitarist's setup.
		I would caution you that the Ebow is very limited unless you are dedicated to learning the techniques.

	Dave's Rack Gear - Page III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Ebow’s sounds can be really eerie and theremin-like, and also very abrasive and evil sounding.
		Combining Ebow use with my volume knob (or a pedal) chorus, delay, and lots of reverb certainly intensifies the bowed effect.
		I use my Ebow a lot actually, it is wonderful for solos mimicking some random unpronounceable ethnic instrument as well as standard western instruments.

	Clothesline Revival Interviews (p.16)
		RP: An ebow, which has been around for some time--you can hear it back on Robert Fripp's stuff from a long time ago--it's basically a simple plastic device that you hold in your hand, and it's got a nine volt battery in it that powers a magnet in the device.
		And with the pedal steel, it's particularly fluid because, let's say you're using one string and you've got the pedal on that string, you've also got all this motion within one note along with what the ebow is doing to it.
		So between the ebow work that you're describing and the sound design that Conrad is capable of creating, it's no wonder that the atmospherics on the album are so unique.

		I'm no fan of the synth, but the Ebow certainly provides you with a more organic warm guitar sound, which I suppose makes a lot of sense seeing as though its really a guitar that you're playing...
		I believe Dave Pajo used the Ebow in Zwan shows, once Paz Lenchantin came on as bass player and Pajo joined Billy and Matt Sweeney as a third guitarist.
		The Ebow is really a technique of its own, and I can't say I have really mastered it yet.

	Response to "Its an E Bow" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This electro-magnetic field isn't that strong, the ebow basically must be over the sweet spot of the pickup to generate the string vibration.
		When it is in the sweet spot the string screams, slide the ebow back away like between the two pickups on a tele and the string stops vibrating.
		For "jazzy" (or maybe cliche-jazzy) volume swells I find the ebow a lot more natural and a lot more expressive that rolling my vol knob or a vol pedal-- but that kind of thing isn't a major part of my playing except when I'm holding the ebow.

	HotFrets Guitar Tips
		The "EBow" is a small handheld device that was introduced to the guitar industry in 1976.
		The EBow's name stems from the term "electronic bow" because of its ability to simulate the sustain of a violin bow when played across the strings of an electric guitar.
		As the EBow glides over the guitar pickup, usually the neck pickup, it creates a magnetic field between the EBow and the pickup.

		Thanks BJ I've mic'd acoustic Ebow playing before, and the b1 is as hot as any mic I have.
		Seeing as how the Ebow has to be right above the pickup, Ill bet the B1 will do a fine job of micing the amp.
		I mean for live if I wanted to put a rare earth on my guitar and want to use the ebow live.....will this work seeing as the pickup is exposed (unlike an saddle pickup installed)....I figured it would since electric guitar pickups are exposed but not sure......Sorry for not clarifying there.

	How do you make an eBow? \| Ask MetaFilter
		So, the ebow seems to be taking input from the strings, amplifying it, and inducing the strings to move with the amplified signal.
		A magnet glued to the end of a vibrator would be useless, because it always vibrates at the same frequency.
		The reason the ebow works is because it creates vibrations that match what the strings are already doing, so the frequency will be right to get reinforcing feedback.

	Ebow - Any good tips? - CGR Community
		I figure there have to be a decent number of ebow users around.

	Heet Sound Plus Ebow Electric Bow for Guitar - SameDayMusic.com
		The EBow does its work on the string itself by producing an energy field that vibrates and sustains your guitar string (Direct String Synthesis).
		Powered by a 9-volt battery, the EBow is held in place of your pick, giving you instant access to violin, cello, flute, and horn sounds as well as unique sounds of its own.
		Playing the EBow directly over the pickup will increase your volume many fold and give you the crisp sound of super hot pickups.

		The ebow creates a magnetic field between the ebow and the pickup.
		The ebow creates significant volume shifts between the sweet spot (where the string vibrates like crazy) and less vibration caused by moving the ebow away from the sweet spot.
		One exercise that helps your ebow style is playing scales on just one string moving up and down the neck.

		But yeah, I listened to some of the sound samples on eBow.com, and if I can ever make half those sounds it'll be worth the money for me. I just think it's a cool tool...it's been around for a long time too (since the 70's!).
		cutting edge disc 2 has a lot of ebow, but what I really like is the little flutter sound at 1 minute into the track.
		That is ebow strummed over the strings with the volume up, and a chord held with the other hand.

		It's also fun to play with the octave switch on the back of the ebow while playing for diff sounds.
		for example in national anthem ed has his ebow set for octave up high pitch to blend with jonnys ondes and contrast it as well.
		one thing i use my ebow for a lot is when i want to add a track of crazy feedback when recording, but i dont want to be too loud (eg: it might be getting late and i dont want to disturb the neighbours).

		I've used a EBOW II some years ago and i noticed how important is the "LIGHT" in the ebow.
		I didn't build it like the ebow, but I took the signal of a normal single coil, sent it through the circuit and winded another coil with an resistance around 10 Ohm.

		IF you are already a good guitar player, it adds a whole new set of sounds you can create.
		To a new guitar player, an Ebow can just create frustration and get in the way of the learning process, imo.
		It was recorded with an AKG 414 and a John Hardy pre onto 2" tape, but nobody could tell by the quality of this mp3, but I hope it gives a different idea of what is possible with this cool little toy.

		An ebow is used throughout the song and adds great dynamic sound as well as a lot of intensity.
		If you have enough guitarists to allow you to keep playing ebow, then here is the little ebow riff during the heavy part: e------------------------------------------------------------------------------ B--20~~-19~~-17~~-15~~~~~---20~~-19~~-17~~-15~~~~~~---------------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the ending it quiets back down and the ebow part is a lot like the intro.
		Just let the spirit lead you as you play the ebow parts and don't worry about playing it exactly like the album.

	Question about the Ebow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		I saw a post about John's use of the Ebow on a couple of songs.
		A couple of questions, firstly is the 'Ebow' the only brand or the only decent brand or something or are there a number of synthesiser sort of things that do the same thing?
		Thirdly, from my understanding of the Ebow it could only be placed on one string but when I've seen JB use it, it, the bottom 3 strings all vibrate (also mentioned in the earlier post), are there some Ebow's that do more than one string or something or are they all the same?

		Inspired by the BILL NELSON gig to investigate the ebow (a hand-held, battery-powered “electronic bow” held over a guitar string, causing it to vibrate as long as it is held in place.
		I recall one interview where he called the guitar solo “a devalued currency” and mentioned that he was playing guitar mostly with the energy bow.
		What they didn’t realize was that he was playing as much or more guitar than before...only with the ebow, which to this day most people don’t connect with as being a guitar.

		If you don't already know what it does, it has a magnet that vibrates the strings on your guitar creating infinite sustain and harmonics you could only get from deafening volumes.
		If you always watched how Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin used his violin bow on his Les Paul, this is the easier electronic version of the violin bow.
		The Ebow sounds even cooler with delay or tape echo added.

		As for buying one, I don't know where you live but I've seen Venue Music in Sydney advertise them, and they deliver and have a good refund policy.
		cost of a Ebow is somewhere between $150 - $250.
		I don't own one so I can't really tell you if they are a worth while investment, if you want my advice spend your cash an a wah pedel before a Ebow (but if you already got a wah, hey give the Ebow a try).
