I'm thinking about buying a Heet E-bow. Does anyone here have any opinions on the e-bow or any tips? Do you have to have great pick ups to use it? Thanks in advance for any responses.

I love my E-Bow. Its great for special effects-or for times when you just can't think of what kind of solo to do, or as an added texture. As far as tips-its pretty easy to use in theory-the unit has grooves that line up with the strings adjacent to the one your playing-so basically decide what string your going to play on, center the red light on the string you want to play-and...wait. That being said its not that easy to play it in a controlled way-switching strings can be tough, and if you gotta pick it up in the middle of a song for a solo in a live situation-it can be a little rough. Like anything else a little practice.... Oh and type of pickups makes no difference-the thing will even work on steel string acoustic guitars. Definetely worth having in your arsenal.

for almost 5 years now. Its a great little tool for getting some weird sounds. Too bad someone lifted mine from our practice space. Now im pissed
