Myoung to play Bongo!

[strummer]

This is a pointless post, but i just got this idea that if BP could become real close friends with John Myoung, Myoung might just ask for a Bongo, and then BP will have to vuilt a 6-string bass, and I'd wnat one

 

[Figjam]

Definitely a random idea..but hey, sure.

hey know that you are kiding but John is very happy with Yamaha and we would never intefere!

do you guys approach artists or do they approach you?

i'm guessing they would approach you, because that's what i would do.

They stand at opposite ends of the bar, fluttering their eyelashes at each, waiting for the other to give "The Sign".

and when artists get rejected they just buy a mag or go to website and get their kicks there

when EB get rejected they just go back to their old and faithful...

In light of Big Poppa's comments on six string basses...

Kids
Here is the resaon why no six string basses. RETAIL. There are only so many hooks on the wall. The only way we would make a six string is if an important endorsee required one. Much like the silhouette bass was made for Keith Richards. Thats it I have nothing against the 6 string bass, but the market is very, very limited

...how about having a word with that Myung feller?

I'd love to have that conversation.

John plays the poop out of that Yammy I must say....I could never make one sound that good...same with Billy.

The one time I played a six string, it was a John Myung Yamaha.

Felt totally alien.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Well, I never play a 5ver let alone a 6er but I do lust for a purple Sparkle Yammy 10th Anniversary Attitude if anyone has one they want to trade...Billy and I go back over 30 years now... a good friend, mentor and inspiration who made my jaw hit the floor the first time I saw him and still does to this day!

LOL...beats that hacked up Fender he took drill bits and washers to on a cheap motel bed spread!!

ps: I used to eat this after watching Billy Sheehan play at The Penny Arcade in Charlotte, NY with Talas and Lightyears in the 70's...pre-UFO Tour...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Man, that looks good huh??

 

[bassmonkeee]

Man, that looks good huh??

Yeah, but good for what? That's the question...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Eatin man...that's a Nick Tahoe's "garbage plate" brother... better than pooty....

 

[SteveB]

Dude,

After watching Sheehan play, I figured you'd be eating humble pie.


I don't need no doctor..

I'm sure it's delicious.

I'm also fairly certain that it looks the same coming out....

I love the feel of John Myung's bass, when I used it, it just flowed, its a really nice bass (nice as in AWESOME), I still prefer my SUB 5. when I become famous, Im gonna ask EB to make me a 6 string Stingray .........(YEAH RIGHT...in my dreams)

 

[Dees]

I'd love to hear Myung on a bongo (I'm a big Dream Theater fan)!
But I'd never buy it, I play 4-strings only
