Well, his first Yamaha had the single coils.

While his second generation sig had the single humbucker.

I think it's safe to say that Myung changed the pick config on the second generation, to try and get closer to the MusicMan feel and sound as he used to get 10 odd years ago.

* Scott cant find a pic of myung with a stingray. But knows there is one somewhere out there.

I was excited. Until this became old news. I was all over this a while ago. Do you know what Myung is doing right now? Eating cherios. That's how up to date I am

I've only played a 6-string bass a couple times and found in general I wouldn't have much use for it, but I've always liked the looks and sounds of the 5-string bongos.

The only thing I'd want more is a Wal

Yup. Myung was sent the black one. So he'll have it when they come to Toronto in August. Can't wait

Sweet. When Big Poppa gives a smile and a thumbs-up, you know it's gotta be good.

Scott · 07-03-2007, 10:23 AM

Yes....he approves his own product. Shocking

I must say though, i'm extremely impressed with BP and the EBMM Customer Service. They had no problem with bending the rules to help me out

Drew · 07-03-2007, 10:46 AM

Oh? Do tell...

AngelVivaldi · 07-03-2007, 10:55 AM

I know Myung used the bongo on a good portion of Systematic Chaos. I'm sure most of you have seen the documentaries on Roadrunner's site where Myung uses the bongos.

My old bassist has his latest signature from Yamaha. It's seriously painful for a lot of bassists to play... your fingers tend to get scratched/bang into the dots in the pickup lol. Great sounding bass though.

I'm not too too fond of his tone in certain areas on the new album though, mainly on Dark Eternal Night a bit too trebly for my own taste. However Dave Larue's tone when using the bongo's is, imho, sexually stimualting. Whoreay for SVT's, lol!

You snagged that, dude? Fuckin' A, nice!

EDIT - also, only terrorists use Internet Explorer. I'll understand if you don't want to make the switch to Opera (which owns, even if Chris doesn't like it), but at the VERY least, upgrade to Firefox or something, dude...
