Michael Manring – NAMM show bass clinic
clip featuring bass virtuoso Michael Manring, playing a tune called “The Enormous Room”. Footage was shot at the NAMM show. I didn’t tape this, and if you are the one who did let me know, so I can give you credits for it. Check out Michael’s page at www.manthing.com!

I would like to see Michael Manring and Steve Bailey play together.love that tone!
i do like his way of playing .like no one
He also has a bridge which allows him to drop a further tone
i dint know zon would have a booth at namm i always thought they were kinda small?
Close, the manufacturer is actually Hipshot. They make normal tuners as well as what Michael has which are called Xtenders or as some call them D-tuners.
I believe it’s called a “Hip Shot” or something like that…basically this tuning pegs have little levers attached to them and for example..if he has it for a low E string and hits it it’ll automatically go down to drop d or something to that effect. So this guy has the Hip Shot for every string and also has an adjustable bridge that changes all the pitches so he has a huge advantage to getting many different tunings and keys as well as harmonics.
SCOTT HENDERSON PLAYING BASS!!!
yes indeed. There’s a video on here called “Michael Manring explains the Hyperbass” (LWPHrRwQqVE) where he demonstrates the switches, and also gives an intro to this specific song. He seems like a very funny guy too
if im not mistaken, he has a locking device on there that he moves, and it changes the tune of the string, if you notice some of the notes when he messes with the head stock, the notes go hi or low, like a hammer on or pull off, just on of the things that makes Michael Manring, Michael Manring
victor wooten,ryan martinie,stu hamm,flea,feildy,marc mcknight,Michael Manring. these are one of my fave bassist. i got alot more it just mentioned these few.
This is one of the sickest songs on bass ever.
this is one of the most pleasing bass songs there is
how comes he keeps fucking w/ the head stock or tuning pegs so much?
just give the knobs a turn
search up the standard bass tuning on youtube
and just turn ur knobs till ur cello sounds liek that
a cello is tuned CDGA
how do you tune bass like a cello?
pls give some specific instructions ’cause I’m curious…Peace
The next is fretless, probably 35″ scale as it looks a little longer than most. Probably P-Bass style pickup under that cover. 2 band graphic EQ, flatwound strings.
That is my best guess.
well he does use a fretless…
its a special instrument with detuners and light strings just google Zon hyperbass if you wanna find out more, he also tends to use lots of effect pedals
Can anyone tell me what is his sound configuration…because bass sound is really different and his slaps and pops so easily and amazingly heard…
his bass has a great sound
the tune is called “The Enormous Room”, from the “Thonk” album.
anyone know the name of this tune?
All this talk… C’mon and just enjoy the music… Develop your own techniques and try not to copy everyone… This guy has a great synthesis of bass styles which makes him unique. I remember back in 1979 when I tuned my 4-string in 5ths like a cello… talk about teasing your brain to work at relearning scales…. but i got some rather interesting harmonics…. Shame i didn’t have my Cubase and Lexicon then…
I love it… Check out Jim Campilongo for the crazyiest tuning on the fly
