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:D

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

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

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

Felt totally alien.

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!!

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 :p.........(YEAH RIGHT...in my dreams)
