Ebow and Physical Health

[DOOGLER]

So the Ebow emits a magnetic wave.. couldnt this harm you physically?

 

[FretNoMore]

Only if someone in the audience gets really upset by the music.

No, you can't get hurt by the magnetic field.

My impression from briefly reading about this kind of thing in other areas is that a magnetic field would have to be some combination of stronger and with longer exposure time before it could do much.

But, I'm no doctor.

Magnets, how do they work?

lolol

Just be sure to wear your aluminum foil gloves.

Got a mobile phone?
A Micro wave?
A Computer?


My guess is that those emit at least what an ebow might. No?

There's magnets in your pickups too, that's why I wrap my fingers in tin foil before I play.

WUT?

I actually know one guy who got kicked out of his tenure position because he wrote a bunch of pseudo-science articles about magnetic fields' effects on health.

If you are afraid of magnetic fields, I don't know how to say this, but.....

I've endured (not good with tights spaces) MRI scans and still live ...

Not only that, but Earth's magnetic field gives us the northern and southern lights. No magnetic field and we would get hit with significant particle radiation.

Yes. Especially if you are an older model robot like me and still have tape drives controlling your actuator mechanisms.

Consider this tragic example of the dangers of ebow use. Here is Michael Manring who was once a legendary bassist who was taught by Jaco.

You can see him here using an ebow.



Now you can observe the immediate damage to his mental faculties in the very next song. He is suffering extreme confusion and keeps percieving his bass is out of tune causing him to retune mid-song some 6o or 70 times or so.



Also note the complete inability to establish and maintain a solid groove. I have seen him live and the guy cant even perform a simple 1-5 alternating country bass line. His bass playing skills are all lost from over exposure to magnetic waves from the ebow.

Poor guy. Don't end up like him.

Magnets, how do they work?

Clearly electricity is some magical force about which "scientists" have no clue. Burn that young lady as a witch...she's consorting with the devil's blowdryer.

I have a theory that lightbulbs do not emit light. I maintain that they suck all the darkness out of the room.

Also, rocks are actually very soft, they just tense up when you touch them.
