This is what a 1970s EBow sounds like played through a SOMA Cosmos Drifting Memory Workstation.
I had an EBow like this one that was stolen in the early 80s. This replacement is the same vintage - almost 50 years old. It’s a piece of history and a reminder that I’m a piece of history too.
If you’ve ever lost a piece of gear that was tied to who you were, drop a comment. I’d love to hear about it.
