I started on bass in 96. I was into everything and dug guys like Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan, Michael Hedges etc. It's criminal that I never even came across this guy's name. Glad to see he's gotten a few viral videos - they certainly were hidden gems at some point and looks like there's a few more.

It's late night in early November, Halloween is still in the air. What a beautifully eerie song. Definitely suits my environs atm. And i really appreciate that there is nothing gimmicky going on here despite the zanniness of the bass. It feels like that composition couldn't be played any other way, the form of it seems to precede the function, if that makes sense. A truly singular voice on the bass

Bass not just for groovy lines. Bass as a singer instrument. Every musician and instruments around the world have soul. Michael through his play taught me to look my bass different. Everything in this video perfect. Tone, tunning, techniques. And ofcourse the bridge. This still a big question for me) All of my heart Michael - biggest Thank you. You really changed me.

Michael makes statements which indicate that he thinks of himself as a bit of a weirdo. I disagree- he's an under-rated genius, and the composer of some of the most beautiful solo bass works I've ever heard. My wife and I saw him perform Selene and other tunes in a small winery in London, Ontario back in the mid-2000's. Guitarists Don Ross and Andy McKee were there as well, and it still remains one of my lifetime favourite concert experiences...

It's late night in early November, Halloween is still in the air. What a beautifully eerie song. Definitely suits my environs atm. And i really appreciate that there is nothing gimmicky going on here despite the zanniness of the bass. It feels like that composition couldn't be played any other way, the form of it seems to precede the function, if that makes sense. A truly singular voice on the bass

I came from the instagram post to watch this entirely, what a beautiful music! I remember probably like 13 years ago, a teacher show me your music but when I came back home I couldn't remember your last name, so I spend like three hours on the internet googling "michael bass player" until a found you ! It did totally worth it !

Morbidly soothing. The sounds tranquilize to a point of being ok with the end of it all, if this was the last thing to hear, though elevating the feelings of gratitude and eagerness to face another day. Thank you Mr. Manring. Thank. You. (all is good with me and this is not a declaration of intentions. Just what I felt to share after the trip of listening to Selene)

"Giving an instrument new wings" is a perfect description. Michael Manring has taken the bass guitar to places no one ever envisioned.
Astonishingly Beautiful.
This beautiful piece of music sends me on a hypnotic journey that I don’t want to end. Also kudos to the camera man for the great videography and also to Zon for having the balls to create an instrument that didn’t exist before. I read somewhere that Michael had a very hard time finding someone to bring this masterpiece of an instrument to life.

Thank you, Ricardo! You're right -- it was hard to find someone willing to build an instrument like the Hyperbass and I'm very grateful to Joe Zon for taking on the project.
I just wanted to say that you are a huge musical inspiration to me, and this is one of my all-time favorite compositions by anyone ever. Your playing has continued to improve and become more evocative over the years.

I would say when I saw many years ago first live version of Selene I was shocked. Now I shocked more. As bassist I wan't say Michael changed my mind and vision of bass guitar. Bass not just for groovy lines. Bass as a singer instrument. Every musician and instruments around the world have soul. Michael through his play taught me to look my bass different. Everything in this video perfect. Tone, tunning, techniques. And ofcourse the bridge. This still a big question for me) All of my heart Michael - biggest Thank you. You really changed me.

Michael makes statements which indicate that he thinks of himself as a bit of a weirdo. I disagree- he's an under-rated genius, and the composer of some of the most beautiful solo bass works I've ever heard. My wife and I saw him perform Selene and other tunes in a small winery in London, Ontario back in the mid-2000's. Guitarists Don Ross and Andy McKee were there as well, and it still remains one of my lifetime favourite concert experiences...

Hey Michael………………I’ve got a playlist I go to sleep to every night to relax………………….this song is on it about five times, along with Come With Me My Love, I Left America, and A Better Place…………and then some Enigma songs, some Peter Gabriel like Mercy Street, This is the Picture, Blood of Eden and such. A few mellow Tony Levin songs. All of your albums are terrific. Hope to watch you in person some day, take care bud.
