Hi all,
I just bought an ebow off of musicians friend, and was wondering if anybody has mastered it. It can make some really beautiful sounds I think but it's really hard to control, at least the one time I played with one was hard...

Good luck, I tried and failed a couple of years back. I'd like to try again. Love the creative use of this gadget, e.g. "My Iron Lung" by Radiohead, use that with Whammy and you got some seriously cool guitar sound.

I love it.
I've been able to get it down pretty well, and it's amazing. Definitely worth a hundred bucks.
