Ebow and Physical Health

What if "Tone Woods" are actually magnetic and influence the pickups and affect the electrical signal generated by the pickups and strings

P.S.: The answer is no

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.

I like the way you think and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Ebows pull notes a few cents sharp, which can cause opera singers with perfect pitch to go into a psychotic rage. Other than that, they should be cool.

My cats curl up together and sleep, is that what they call 'Animal Magnetism'? And will iron filings stick to them?..I am concerned. Thank God I don't live near a machine shop or a car dealership!

It's probably more harmful to hang an 8 pound bass off your shoulder night after night.

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.

Proof that idiocy is found everywhere. 500 years ago scientists believed that the formula for creating mice was leaving a sweaty shirt in a barn overnight. This was proven by the owner of the infested barn by leaving his shirt there overnight every night for a month or so. In the morning mice were seen there. Irrefutable evidence.

My bass has active electronics. Powered by a 9 volt battery, no less. Am I gonna die?

Yes. Sorry.

 

[jamro217]

Yes. Sorry.

AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me, you can feel it!

And it doesn't feel nice at all.

After having shocked my self several time by touching exposed wires, I can confirm this personally.

MRI = Magnetic field = Okay

CAT = Radiation = Bad

CAT = Radiation = Bad

That...is not how that works.

Some health risks of magnetism:

1. Pacemaker
2. History of vascular surgery - if vascular clips or a stent were used
3. Spinal cord stimulator (pain management; neuropathy)
4. Metal in the eye
5. Any instance when metal is implanted in soft tissue; anchored in bone is no problem - rigid construct.

People with pacemakers generally can't get MRI's because the leads can move from the magnetic pull.

The Ebow doesn't exert enough pull to cause harm, but I probably wouldn't lie down with it on my chest if I had a pacer. Or pickups for that matter.

Happy 4th y'all.

Yeah. If an EBOW scares you, I suppose it would frighten you to death to know just how many magnetic fields you pass through each day..... from the tiniest to (literally) interplanetary.

You'll be fine.

 

[mc900ftj]

You'll be fine.

...or WILL you?

 

[Space Pickle]

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

bahaha yes. they will take the ebow from your hands and beat you with it.

Well, magnets are natural, so they must be good for you. That's why people put them in their shoes to relieve pain. Everything natural is good for you, especially lead and arsenic.

Fun fact, oil spills are organic.

I live near to the location oil was first commercially drilled in California. As you drive state hwy 150 you can still see the crude leaking out the side of the hill into the creek below. It's what nature does.
