EBMM John Myung 4 String Bongo

[smittybass33]

Here's the interview. Talks about using a 4 string and all that.

Edit - I love how they edit the Sterling bongo for the thumbnail but he never touches one in the video.

There are so few good samples of that the JM 6 sounds like. All the Myung demos are deep in the Music Mix...The samples of the 6 with the 2 knobs sounds really cool to me, and the 4 has me really intrigued, as it's really different. Anyhoots, who knows. I hate teases like this...but it is HAWT

 

[smittybass33]

Agreed. I wish there was a demo that really did the work to show it off. Something like the Joe Dart ones would be nice.

Music Man.... If you're listening I would do it in a heartbeat!

It gets clicks which is why they do but totally!

Not a PEEP on the EBMM Forums. Sheesh

That's kind of surprising. But then again... Would love to know more about it.

 

[Les Fret]

I still have a hard time with the two woods for the fingerboard. I don’t like the looks and I don’t see the point.

 

[Barticus]

What’s up with that double pickup on the stingray on the right? Any info?

That is the Tim Commerford signature with the ramp.

 

[smittybass33]

Dt just posted with him with a 4 string. Probably coming down the pipeline here soon.

 

[Barticus]

He was shown with the 4 string a while ago, and he starts to talk about it a little in this video at 16:25

if I owned another bongo, it would be a 4string. they are incredibly comfortable to hold.

Agreed. In all my years of playing bass, I have never played a more comfortable and excellent sounding bass. Looking forward to these~

 

[pyrat56host]

But WILL it be a production model...or special order only??

 

[munnkyboy]

I just hope they send it out to Youtubers to Demo a billion different ways. The tone of it sounds Great, and I dig the simplicity of it

The Bongo - "great skills, not for me", heh. I seem to remember that they were doing a redesign to the Sterling as was done to the Stingray a few years ago but nothing ever appeared.
