How long ago was that?
I bet it would be an interesting sound to play the lead using a bowed guitar, in the likes of Jimmy Page, and Jonsi, from Sigur Ros, in essence a
fiddled guitar...I can't even imagine how that would sound.
Doing the cover wasn't so long ago well past milllennium, I simply used a Strat and a Korg that gave me as much sustain as I needed.
Anywhere we played, all the kids, boys or girls, were looking for more retro stuff, as were the older set anyway, all fed up at the fare of the
day.
My pro days go back to the 60' to late 70's, then I played Bass, and funny enough when you mention the bow, I used a bow on the bass part, (which is
basically a one note line through the verse) for Procol Harum's, 'Homburg' on a Precision Bass...that worked out alright too, and a heck of a sound,
you did get an odd particle board ceiling tile passing by from time to time though, and of course, a fiddle's stringing is very convex compared to an
electric Bass....but still, enough room to work.
