Intresteing, but unneccesary
looks pretty cool but if its cheap enough why not
though the thing with those Floating bridge/whammy bars, is the Tuning really does just go all over the place.

But that makes me wonder if you could put a locking system on the nut.

That's why you have to tune it a certain way, and you definetly need a locking system. It takes patience and perseverence to tune one of those suckers.

Not to mention string. Though I'd like to try it out on a bass before having a tremolo/locking system installed on the bass of my choice.

I wouldnt want to hassle with the tuning stuff. I can get pedal effects that bend my pitch if I really wanted that effect.

Does pretty much the same thing. Whats an ebow? Little hand held device, emits small magnetic field, affects the string in a bunch of ways in whatever way you want to make it sound. Wanna imitate horns? It can do that. Wanna give the bass a tremolo? It can do that. Wanna have the note ring out for hours and hours. It can do that. Also, Opeth swears by them.

I would try musicians friend or ask at your local music store if they know what they are. I have no clue about price. I can ask a buddy who owns one.
