John Myung and EBMM? (Not about Bongo 6!)

[Bass Control]

The 6 he is playing in the video is the Hamaya. Thanks for nothing...

Get me all excited to see an MM rip-off... though the Bongo 5 did make an appearance...

Hi guys,

saw 'em in Zurich last night Well, the 6-stringers wasn't the Bongo. I guess it was the Yamaha, but I don't what it looks like. I think he used it for 2 or 3 songs only. And MAN, did the Bongo sound so much better, you couldn't hear the Yamaha but the Bongo was cutting through the mix so well!

I actually don't know much about them, but they started with 2 songs from the new album, then played Images and Words in its entirety, and 2 other c lassic songs in the encore. They said they were playing Images and Words in its entirety on a few select EU dates to celebrate the 15 years of its release.

Guys.....He is currently using the bongo 5. Be patient. sometimes there are extraneous issues that affect what someone plays.

I got to meet John for a brief while, two days ago in Turkey.

He said he is very happy with MM, and when I asked him about the 6'er, he said you guys were currently building him one...

Anyway, he's a really cool guy. All of them are. But JM in particular was really awesome, and quite responsive.

Yeah, I think talking about "all things bass" with JM can't be that hard as he's really into the bass. Like JP said in the "Score"-documentary: "he lived for practicing bass" or something. Dedication like that makes him a supercool guy in my book. He used to write a column in Bass-Player for a while too. Some of the better things that has been printed in that mag. All the guys in DT seem really level-headed.

And the bass-sound on Constant Motion is his best sound ever IMO.
