BassMunkee Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I know this is stupid but you know how it is... ...If I use an Ebow on my active bass, will it damage it...?! Quote
bythesea Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Haven't seen any suggestion that it does and Ebow's faq gives instructions on using them with active pickups so I would think it ok. Have a look at [url="http://www.ebow.com/ebow/faq.htm#0090"]this[/url] Oops - sorry, [url="http://www.ebow.com/ebow/faq.htm#0150"]this[/url] Quote
Alun Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I've not had any problems. Only thing you might find is that you need ti turn your bass down as high output basses tend to distort really quickly with an eBow. Unless that's what you want Quote
iamapirate Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 OT, but I tried an ebow on a passive fender american 2008 jazz bass and it was really hard to get it to work properly. It was REALLY slow to start, kinda like about 2-3 seconds until it started to make noise, and then it just exploded (ok, not literally) and buzzed against the pickups and sounded horrible :S Quote
