Michael Manring Gear Question

I was watching some of your videos and I noticed how you use a detunable bridge to get even more tunings out of songs.

What bridge is that and where can they be bought?

That's a somewhat pricey (~$2k) upgrade that you can get on a Zon Hyperbass. I'm pretty sure Zon wouldn't sell you one by itself, but I wouldn't think you'd be able to utilize the tuners and/or bridge very well on a bass without a graphite neck. That sort of a dramatic change in tension would lead to relief issues on most basses. I wouldn't use it on a fretted bass either since intonation will be off. Really, the point of intonation changes on a fretless, but it's not fixed.
