Thumbs up John Myung Transformation

I'm happy. really happy! knowing that the bass player living legend john myung has joined EBMM. but i'm still curious. what makes him choose EBMM while he knows that at that very time there is not yet available the 6S type. i also long to know when he will transform officially and completely. becouse until a couple days ago i still saw his name in yamaha bassist roster. thx!

JM started playing the Bongo 6 live when Dream Theater started their last North American tour leg. During their tour through California, they visited EBMM. Below are the pictures from that visit. I asked JP and JM if they had fun during their visit. Both answered emphatically that they did.

In the thread below, EBMM detailed the development of the Bongo 6 from the first computer renderings all the way to completed instruments.

When I saw them last month, there was not a Yama-haha anywhere close, except maybe parked on the street and I can guarantee it wasn't Myungs. Nothing but Bongos

It is called the Bongo 6. Mystic Dream, Dargie Delight and such are names of finishes used for very specific instruments (in this case, the original JP's and the very limited run Dargie Delight instruments, respectively). There are no signature model basses. The silver used on JM's basses is a flat silver that's a custom finish. No word on if this color will be available when the Bongo 6 is released (some time around NAMM).
