BASSISTS! A must see!

YouTube - Michael Manring - Selene - DVD -...

I have no words to describe this but this has turned everything I know about bass playing upside down. No words....

hes tuning the string instead of holding the note. it's weird but i see what hes doing.

edit: finished watching. he's tuning instead of bending the notes. i dunno i don't play stringed instruments so i can't comment further on that.

i sorta expected it to pick up or something. it was pretty cool though - new ways of playing the same instruments other people play. creative for sure.

Apparently it is a custom made bass with alternating tuning pegs that can change the tuning of the strings with a switch, sort of like hitting a light switch.

Its a Zon Hyperbass but there's a video on youtube of him explaining how it works.

It's sad that there aren't more views than this...

I agree, kinda. I mean I respect the dude because as a bassist myself I recognize that he has flawless technique and probably more musical knowledge then I'll ever have. But, at the same time while I "enjoy" Victor Wooten, Michael Manring, Jean Baudin, etc., when I'm watching em all I'm thinking is, "Wow... they can definitely play that... yep..."

When it comes to my bass idols I look more towards Bootsy Collins (P-Funk) or Daryl Jenifer (Bad Brains).
