This an Ebow Buddy's using here right? Looks really big when he picks it up - you can barely see it in the video. Anyway - super cool. Anyone got other vids or pics of Buddy using it?

I think you're right! Hadn't heard about these before but reading up now - here's a pic b0b posted in an old thread - sure looks like what Buddy's using in that clip:

Buddy used a single eBow. The one Travis posted is a double. It was mainly for steel guitar.

Here’s a video of Albert Svenddal using a double.

The originals turned on by putting the unit on the string. The single came in a leather pouch/sheath for storage. The originals were chrome colored. Later models were black and then dark gray.


I almost got Buddy’s eBow. We agreed to a trade for one that I bought that had a two way switch and I’d always turn it the wrong way. I told him about it and that I would like to find an original one. I finally convinced him that if he needed to use one he could easily get by with the new one, but I had to do it on the fly so he agreed to swap. I sent mine down to him. Sadly he left us a few weeks later. My eBow was sold at the estate sale, along with a bunch of other stuff. I just had no way to get down there or to show it was actually my stuff. It is what it is…
