What I meant is that the close-to-pickup sound that is way-to-loud also sounds pretty cool in a way. Fuzz-ish or synth-ish distortion. But you can't control it with the e-bow since you have to hold the e-bow close to the pickup to get that sound. That's why I don't use it much; since you need to fiddle with some technical gain reducing device to compensate for insane gain level :-) E-bow with fretless guitars is great fun because you can easily control note duration by pressing down or letting up strings under your left hand's fingers.
