One word:

WOW

I first saw it on a magazine, ARK's bassist uses one like this...

It's pretty much like that Warwick, both of them are superb.

Ouch... THIS is a bass. Way better then mine...

You have to be Michael Manring or Jesus to play one of them.

There are theories going around that they are the same person...

The body modified so that even the highest frets are easy to reach is a great idea, but thats a mean ass price tag.

Manrings pretty amazing. The first person I know of that uses dozens of really strange tunings to fit the song while not getting confused.

I personally don't find that type of tuning usage practical (but it is mind boggling).

Hahaha, Manring actually tunes his bass while he's playing to get different harmonics! What a character....

Monkey Businessman = best display of bass-playing I've ever heard
