ok, so i’ve been playing bass for like six months now and getting on really well, partly due to already being a guitarist, but recently my teacher suggested i did a search on the .net for this guy called michael manring, and like, omg! if anyone here is at all into virtuoso playing (and that does not necessarily mean just loads of widdle and slap) then i recommend you go to manthing.com, get a password to access the stash, then download the track ‘music for armchair funambulist’, then chill out to it, it’s amazing! has anyone else heard anything like this? i also recommend you have a look at the bass that was designed for him, the ‘hyperbass’ by Zon, specifically, it was designed to make it quicker for him to change tunings on the fly, in one of his songs, he changes his tuning over a hundred times before finishing! that’s mad!
i would sell my legs for the kind of aural pitch recognition that would allow me to do that!
