John Myung playing EBMM

[bassmonkeee]

Upon seeing the bigger picture, I'm pretty sure that's Egyptian Smoke, and not White.

I know where John could try a White HSP Bongo fretless, though. Should I pm my cellphone to BP so he can hand it off to JP and it might make its way to JM?

M-O-U-S-E.

 

[MingusBASS]

Yeah looks like Egyptian Smoke in the pic above. Ok...the white whale is still the coolest white bongo out there.

Gooooood decision to look in the bassy corners before asking that Myung question in the guitar branch... Me too I was completely excited having bought the new DT album last week and seeing John M playing nuthin' but different MM basses throughout the vid and documentary. Man, I guess he knows what's good

You never know, it could be raw and unfinished after all! Strange things are going on around here!

as an ES owner, That looks way too bright for ES... Is it even possible that it's Gunsmoke?

 

[Bass Control]

They played in daylight, so it's possible to be ES, I think. Or the elusive White.

But the HS setup makes me happy.

 

[Rossie]

Haven't you seen the studio pictures of JM's Bongo 5? It's 100% ES.

 

[Rossie]

Looks like Ruby to me...

I really hope JM would play the Bongo 6, I had a feeling this will be the outcome since the vidoes of him playing MMs in the studio.

Found another clearer picture of it.
Looks like JP got another Walnut JP6 F1?

Ok guys... Time for me to hop back to the dark side...

 

[Plaschkes]

Yup, turns out it's Walnut.

But the Bongo in the studio was HH, and I'm allmost positive that this isn't ES. It's way too bright, it doesn't get this bright even under extreme lighting... It really looks like Gunsmoke, compare to JP's JP7 in Gunsmoke.

This one looks like an Egyptian Smoke HH 5 to me...

 

[Plaschkes]

Take another look, my friend.

 

[bassmonkeee]

I change my guess. I now believe it's graphite pearl. I still don't think it's white.

Here is white:

Having blown the pic up a bit in photoshop, I think what I was interpreting as a second coil on the neck pickup was motion blur.

No, that's not ES

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Graphite Pearl is much darker than Egyptian Smoke.

You are correct, it does not look like white - maybe it's Gunsmoke

 

[roburado]

Nice. I'd be up for a Bongo in that color.

 

[Rossie]

Maybe it's the new JM signature color?
Who knows

 

[Derek]

I'm guessing the color is a Non Gloss....Flat Silver!

 

[Big Poppa]

Wow derek! Great guess...how did you know?
