Sitar sounds

[ESBlonde]

I'm doing panto band duties again soon and need a 'Sitar' sound (for signed sealed delivered) and a few incidental pieces.
Other than drone strings and a mild flange/repeat what have others found works?

Bridge pickup, pick right next to the saddle and over bend ever note you play. Listen to Jeff Beck on " Over under sideways down"

Thanks guys, Panto begins in two weeks and only band rehearsal this thursday, 16 songs to learn and full dress rehearsal Sunday 20th (I think I will buy a new dress for that ). So flange/expander/echo it is then (not much money in the job for new toys I'll likely never re-use).

a decent flanger should do it just turn the rate and depth up all the way
