Not going to be to everyone's taste and, indeed, some might even say "it's a complete load of rubbish". YouTube Video:

Is it driving a synth voicing downstream, or is that just the bass tones filtered and recirculated with lots of reverb? I have an SY-300 that someday I'll get time to play with, but I hadn't thought of getting an e-bow, too...

No lower octave and upper octave about 60%. The Ebow helps produce that tone too. I'm mixing reverb from the Strymon Big Sky in and out with the Helix pedal. Michael Mannring uses and Ebow quite a bit as does Steve Lawson. Be interested to know how you get on with the SY-300. Never felt the videos on YT did it justice.
