How's that? Did he invent something?

Yes, root note in eights. And for variation: Not playing at all in the verse and then playing quarter (root plus an F# for the D) notes! :mrgreen:

Louis Cennamo (Colosseum, Renaissance, Steamhammer, Armageddon) and Lee Jackson from The Nice did the bowed bass guitar thing around that time too.

Roger Waters used a bow on his Rickenbacker during the "Syd-era" Pink Floyd.

As a technical note, would one have better results bowing flatwound or roundwound strings? If the space between wire wraps was not large enough to grab the bow fibers, I'd imagine rounds would give better results.
