oh my god this man is something else. I've never heard anything like this come from a bass before, utterly spellbinding and beautiful. Michael Manring is unique.
he's not using his thumb to anchor as much as he would normally, so he can palm the ebow. still how he plays that fast and precise with an ebow in his hand is beyond me.
Awesome! I saw these two perform at Bombs Away Cafe about the same time this was filmed. Micheal's playing sounded like whale speech; just as soothing.
bravo magnificent

Terriffic musicianship... The fretless bass is a wonderful instrument!!!
I'd bet they'd really sound good on a conventional jazz piece like "All the Things You Are!" I'd love to hear that...

uhh, did he stick the e-bow up his sleeve or something? It just appears at 8:05.

Mr.Manring is not an human being...I had doubts about this idea before but I am sure right now...
this is imagination...this music can not be refered to any music theories or teaches...
