Watch Charles Berthoud and Michael Manring in a Dynamic Live Bass Exchange
When Charles Berthoud and Michael Manring share a stage, you know something musical is about to happen. The two bass innovators met up for a live duet that turns into a full conversation between sound and feel.
Berthoud plays his Schecter signature bass, bringing his mix of speed, tone, and melodic control. Manring is on his Zon Hyperbass, shaping lines that move between chordal color and deep pocket. The chemistry between them is instant and full of trust.
The set flows from melody to groove without ever losing focus. Berthoud’s phrasing pushes forward while Manring builds harmonic layers that lift the whole thing. The result feels spontaneous and deeply musical, a meeting of two voices that know how to listen.
