"another way to a more mellow tone is to gently touch the palm of the
hand on the bridge, slightly dampening the strings.

this also allows you to get low notes on the bass strings, where
usually you get harmonics.

Cool Tip, and something I've never tried as long as I've had an ebow, and 
of
course a compressor would allow you to tame a bit of the volume surge when
bringing the bow nearer to the pickups..
