Can anyone recommend a bow? I'm an electric bass guitar player looking to have some fun with a new and different instrument.

For having fun, this bow is pretty rugged, and does a pretty good job. I bought a carbon fiber double bass [url=http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Mongolia-Horsehair-French-Carbon/dp/B00BRACFS2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418413292&sr=8-2&keywords=carbon+fiber+double+bass+bow#customerReviews [/url] bow to play on my gigs. The Mongolian black horse hair is finer to me than regular horse hair and plays well. The bow itself is almost bulletproof. I've lost fewer hairs than expected, so the build quality seems excellent. The tightening mechanism is relatively fast, which I appreciate, and doesn't lose tension. As standard technique, don't forget to loosen the bow when you're done so all the hairs don't pull out when you're not playing. The tip has a little turned-up nose, which you can sometimes use for a special, tiny sound effect. The width of the hairs is wider than some bows, so getting the string to vibrate at first is a little easier, which makes you sound more professional. A major factor will be choosing the perfect rosin, which I still haven't found. Lots of good rosins out there however. YMMV. As of Dec 2014, Amazon has one for $103.99 after shipping. You can spend less, and you can spend a whole lot more.

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

You should get the OU2T Tenor !! It's great for beginners AND pro's. I've only had to tune it once since I got it and I play it almost everyday. It has that cool island look and sound :)

Sorry, I would't be much help. I put the the EQ in a very inexpensive acoustic bass guitar (Skye) because the one that came with it didn't work. (I got the guitar free) It works but I had to make the original hole larger (cut) to make it fit. I do like the EQ, although I don't think it is a good match for acoustic bass.

No. Get a starter bow that fits your draw length. This bow is not a good option for an adult. I ordered it based on the price and the normally great brand name, but returned it immediately.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

It's alresdy stringed. You just have to put the bridge in. I think the bow is good. Honestly I've never owned a cello before, so my opinion may not be the best.

I have the violin pickup by Gage and have used it for years with no problem. My bass player uses one like yours and so far so good. I would return it and have them give you another, as the tone quality is excellent.

I bought this for my son who has a compound bow and he says it's great for the money. I just called him about a cross bow and he said he thought it would be fine. He really likes it!!�

I play guitar and piano. Considering that violin is similar in some aspects. This would probably be just as useful as it is for guitar. It is great for strengthening and staying in practice and pattern excercises. I think it would be perfectly fine for violin :)

The EBow works with any type of guitar- electric or acoustic, single coil or humbuckers. It used electro-magnetic pulses to make the strings produce sound, so as long as your strings are metallic, it makes no difference what type of pick ups you use.

Thank's, I don't have anything other than my bass, an old Boss bass effects board & my Fender combo amp. I was leaning towards the Mikro after watching some of the demos on NI's site, but obviously those guys really know there stuff ! As long as i can make a variety of beats to play along too (reggae, funk, rock, whatever by the sound of it ^^) I'll be happy !

I would say this is a good starter violin and beyond, Andrew. We've had no problems with it and my daughter's teacher was quite pleased with the sound quality/construction. Good luck in your choice :)

While I don't have a SpiderJam specifically I do own the Line 6 Shortboard MKII (in my case for a spider IV 75) and it works great. I can control everything with my feet that I could with my hands (minus the EQ) and also add the expression pedal which can be used as either a volume or Wah pedal. Some factory presets in the amp also use the effects pedal for other things. Definitely worth the price in my opinion.

I would recommend EJ16s for acoustic lead, however, if your friend primarily plays electric, he might prefer the extra light EJ15s. Hope this helps.

A great bow but rather than I respond to your question, get online @ http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/catalog/crossbow/equinox. it will describe the options. You will need more arrows, string and rail wax. Goof Humting
