Carbonne - Di Piazza - Manring

yes it is a bridge that was co-designed by DdP and Neuser basses. It produces a fretless-like sound.

When you get a chance, check out The Eyes Of JC on "Front Page". Dominique is using that sound on that song.

...And that sound is made in this cd with a Noguera YC 5 string (with high C) bass. The bridge with the "fretless sound" was conceived and built by Christian Noguera.
Dominique has no fretless system on his Fodera. The bridge is from Neuser, but he has removed the rest of the system.

That is just absolutely incredible. I've never seen anything like that before. Wow... Now I see why everybody talks about Dominique. :eek:

Yes, he is quite exceptional. He plays that bass as if it were a flamenco guitar. I've said it on these forums before, playing the classical guitar contributes greatly toward achieving that style on the bass. Dom is a classical guitarist! Pick up a classical and practice on it, you'll be amazed at how you can translate those "phrases" to bass with amazing results.

ah, crossed-it, sorry. Thanks.

Anyone know the best way to get the Front Page CD. I tried to order before from Amazon.com and it never came in.

I got mine off of Half.com...hard to find cds often show up there. Getting ahold of Michael Manring's "Thonk" at a store or online dealer like Amazon is next to impossible, but it often shows up on Half.com

I just looked, and there's several new copies of Front Page there right now for about $14.

Thonk???? I've been looking for that for quite some time. My interest is renewed. I finally found "Que Alegria" and it's on it's way as we speak. :hyper: But I got Front Page awhile back and it is nothing short of spectacular. ;)
