This is just outstanding.. and his technique with the tuning and bridge tuning, or whatever he is doing is amazing, and the piece is so melodic aswell. http://www.youtube.com/w/Michael-Man...ch=bass%20namm  |

As much as I love his playing live, I just don't like the albums.

He has a bunch of guys standing around him, each holding a bass, then he's holding a bass. He just goes around the group tapping a little something on each bass. It's crazy.

Once again, a proof of his excellent taste. |

Casually (or not) both tunes are from his album "Thonk" (that happens to be one of my fav bass albums ever)
