Filmed live at ‪the Canadian Guitar Festival in Ontario last July, Michael Manring took the stage with his headless Zon bass and some slow blues.

He eventually works up to a faster pace, leading him in to a rockin’ all-bass version of “Born to Be Wild”.

This guy wouldn’t be able to play any of that stuff if he never learned the basics. Its a solo piece man. If you want steady low end, search for “Duck Dunn” on youtube.

Dang for anything like this poeple always say “why do they not just go out and get a guitar”. for 1 guitar is guitar and bass is bass some people perfer to play the bass even if it is for a part meant to be played by guitar.

“Go out and get a strat and be done with it”!? What the hell?! You think you can do that on a guitar? Michael Manring is a complete master of bass. If you’ve not seen him play before you should get on youtube and check out his ‘Morning Star’.
