Thanks for the feeback guys! Re comments on levels and EQ, all taken on board. The whole track needs to be mixed from start to finish along with the new solos.
Re the Ebow, yep that's what's creating the vocal effect (along with some delay and reverb).
I was in the studio again yesterday but never got around to adding on any of the new solos... spent all the time on another new track;-)
Thanks again for the comments guys!
