I tried it on my bass

It sucked :D


I'm sure it's great on guitar but it shreds the bows and (as my sister could tell you) they're not the cheapest of items :)

The neck radius on a guitar is way too flat to make using a bow sound anything but nasty. Maybe if you use an alternate tuning it might work somewhat.

I tried it on my Strat, and even though it wasn't very loud, it sounded pretty awesome. You can't really play individual strings, just all of them at once. Alternate tunings work well with it because of this. It sounds amazing in conjunction with a slide.
