Fantaatic soundscape to dream on and fly away with the melody.! One of the the best bassists on the planet , michael manring!!!

[@willischang6956]

I’ve been a fan of Michael Manring for over 30 years, it’s great to hear he’s still got “it”!

[@richardgleichmann7671]

I quite possibly could have gotten lessons from Michael waaaayyyy back.. (jammed once with someone that did), but by the time I was good enough to be serious about it.., Michael was out touring and getting well known.. Respect.., and Michael is a good dude.. very considerate.. He and many, many others have provided wonderful listening and inspiration through the years.. 🎶 ❣️ 👍

So beautiful

[@GeraldLUpdyke]

Admittedly I'm here to drool over Manning's playing, but the guitarist ain't too shabby. Excellent.

Bellísima!

[@gianfrancobruno5967]

Bellissimo ! Bravi

[@serhuey]

Wow! What a sound! I was always sure that an electric bow can't play on thick bass strings.

[@taknothing4896]

And now that I've seen it, I want to try it myself...

[@ErixSamson]

Muito bom!!

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👍👌

[@MistakeLearned]

Goodness me 4:17 to 4:42 was rather tasty! I mean, ALL of it was great but that... I think even Mr Manring was rather pleased with it!

[@joachimjacke182]

klasse Tony👍😎

[@tony.kaltenberg]

Thanks Jacke. Das freut mich sehr. It's a super fun project!

[@lqr824]

The tones at 4:10 and 5:10 are mind-blowing! Was there a synth faded in or was that all e-bow and FX?

[@tony.kaltenberg]

That's all e-bow and effects. It seems like so much more.

[@pinorinco]

hi e-bow .I have a toggle switch.normal mode & hi tone mode!

[@randallsnell5767]

Two masters. Love the ebow on the bass. Is that the regular ebow ?

[@tony.kaltenberg]

Thank you Randall..... Yes. That's a regular ebow.

[@tomalophicon]

Rambling, directionless, simplistic. I once considered Manring a decent enough composer but now I'm not sure.

[@baronvonsatan]

Maybe you should consider asking yourself what it is he knows that you don't.

[@sPi711]

If you're not sure about something, that means you don't know enough about it. Maybe he's just gotten better at playing than your ears have at hearing.

[@tomalophicon]

@@sPi711 unlikely

[@TheGlass50]

Maybe that’s the point of this particular composition. It’s a ambient. I think this composition is more about the sound instead of the direction. It sounds beautiful.

[@craigblack7963]

Does everything have to be complex to be beautiful?
