Owen Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 It's no good, I have pledged and bought one. I will report back when it finally arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Seems like a refinement of the E-Bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 That's what it looks like. I never got the ebow to do what I wanted it to. I am gambling that this will. Time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have an E-Bow - works great on guitar, pants on bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Certainly looks interesting - keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yep, that has been my experience as well. I have installed a Fernandes Sustainer pickup into a Tele and that is lots of fun but I have always wanted the same facility on bass. This might be it, it might not.

Kiwi Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Something like this would be magic for a fretless but I wouldn't want to be holding it all the time. Super strong electromagnets and current is needed for bass strings due to their heavier mass. Maybe neo magnets might make a difference...? I know of someone who had a Sustainiac installed into his custom Shuker bass and it worked but he later had it removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Arkadin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've pledged too, can't resist sustaining stuff. I have two Sustainer guitars, two EBows (well three but my third is in permanent loan), violin bows and also looking at the Gizmotron 2.0. I thought the Wond would be easier to use on bass than the EBow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 would these kind of gadgets cause octave/synth/etc. pedals to track better or worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 It depends if it actually works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
