Works on bass so they say in the blurb.

[Owen]

It's no good, I have pledged and bought one. I will report back when it finally arrives.

Seems like a refinement of the E-Bow.

[Owen]

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

[JapanAxe]

I have an E-Bow - works great on guitar, pants on bass!

[ahpook]

Certainly looks interesting - keep us updated.

[Owen]

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.

It's just a question of practicing with it. I use one all the time.

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.

Uh oh! Just a bog standard guitar sustainer pickup?

[Mr Arkadin]

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.

[elephantgrey]

would these kind of gadgets cause octave/synth/etc. pedals to track better or worse?

[Owen]

It depends if it actually works!
