I had a go with the snakewood bow yesterday in my lesson... it's very long and quite flat, eg there isn't much camber in it, and the tip is fairly flat too. I tend to like a bow with a fair amount of camber so it didn't suit me very well. Nice and long though, and the balance is good. It's probably a matter of personal preference, there are some bassists I know who play with almost a straight stick with no camber at all. Peter really likes it though and it sounds ace with his bass. He actually reccommended that I buy one of the carbon french bows with silver tips that they are selling as I'm in the market for a spare bow (having totally destroyed my other one, whoops) so he obviously trusts them. They have good ebay reviews as well.
