Jaco, while ... ( 2 weeks ago by GecSword)

Jaco, while incredibly skilled and and brilliant, was INCREDIBLY sloppy...
I think Manring is far more precise, but Jaco had the genious to do stuff like this first.

I have to disagree. ... ( 2 weeks ago by alembicbassguy)

I have to disagree...but only to a point. When Jaco was in a good place mentally in the earlier part of his career his intonation was absolutely impeccable. Michael is a great player but his intonation is not perfect - hey, who am I though lol!

Alright, that sounds about right - good point.

At the minute 5:02 of this video, Michael plays the intro of Purple Haze. There's no need for the verbal agression, you know?

@alembicbassguy How do you know that Michael doesn't get the intonation ever so slightly off on purpose? :P It does have a particular effect you know, not necessarily a bad one.

@ehsanul
I appreciate your reply and find that very interesting - however imho "intonation off" ammounts to out of tune. I think Michael is a wonderful musician but for me intonation is all important when it comes to fretless bass playing. Just my opinion of course!

Yeah, naturally ... ( 2 weeks ago by HonestLies)

Yeah, naturally intonation is important, and I also agree with you; Michael Manring is a damn good musician, and I truly respect him.
Loved the ending when he just laughed at what he made. What a legend.

its not that he is ... ( 2 weeks ago by jakegreenburger)

its not that he is out of tune, its just his chord choices for the harmony part arent what everyone (who knows the original song) expects them to be. everybodys so quick to dis people. if you listen to whats going on top of this its really impressive

this is a great ... ( 1 week ago by gmanjam)

this is a great clip, from bass day! it was my first time "seeing" him play. the thing that's so great is that everyone who covers this Jaco piece... tries to play it "exactly" like Jaco, but Manring did it his way, and injected a lot more to it (ala the Purple Haze riff)... and made it a fun musical romp. it's a really brilliant approach to a classic tune. as far as the (sound) intonation goes... "have you ever uploaded a music video that ended up sounding exactly like your original???"

3:20 ftw ( 1 week ago by atarijenkins)

I don't think that the original harmony called for quarter steps.
