What violin bow?

Jimmy bought seconds by the boxfull. Nothing special. They were generally cheap seconds (bows that didn't pass quality control for retail sale). Any basic violin bow will do. The guitar doesn't require the quality of bow that a violin does. Just use plenty of rosin! ;)

Hi Ev,

Someone on here said he used a Cello Bow because they are a bit bigger, can you throw any light on it for us mate.

Regards, Danny

Yes LedZep45, that's exactly what I was talking about. A 4/4 violin bow.

Danny, a cello bow is shorter, stouter, heavier, with a wider contact area and a much larger frog. If Page used one, it would be obvious. to anyone who played violin. FWIW, I played violin in school. ;)

It's pretty easy to learn (use lots of effects). Just be prepared that all rosin will stick to your strings. It irritates your fingers when you play your guitar normally afterwards. It's fun at first but after awhile, kinda boring.
