Thunderbird Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Certainly a great player but I was bored after the first minute it is the style of playing that I call bass w***ing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrylejer Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 You've got several ways to play bass. Main one is to play in a band and do the job as every musicians would do ! But I consider bass guitar as a solo instrument too and the way Manring plays certains pieces of music ... It's just : Wowww ... Maybe too much tapping sometimes, I really prefer listening to him when he plays "old schools technics" as finger style, harmonics, bendings, ...

Muzz Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Nope, not for me - I'll acknowledge the skill it takes to do it, but I wasn't sure if or when he'd started. Guitar shop/bedroom noodling isn't something which sounds good to me... Edited September 17, 2014 by Muzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Skill, technique, ability in abundance. Not my cuppa though - hit some eighths on root-notes man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I'm definately in the "great skills man, but that's not what a bass is for" camp I can admire it, but don't want to lie back chill and listen to it Edited September 18, 2014 by lojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Not for me, just another guitar solo. I like this version though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsbgx7QHBMY Edited September 18, 2014 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) [b]Born To Be Wild by Slade 1981[/b] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m0_7nZHw2c[/media] Another in the "great skills, not entertained for long" camp. FWIW this is the way I like bass to sound, though you don't hear it on it's own until about 1.50 - but that's mostly how I prefer it too. I liked it so much I had a custom copy of that bass made, complete with on-board overdrive. Edited September 18, 2014 by Big_Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
