John Myung Biography
John Myung is one of the most popular and richest Bassist who was born on January 24, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The duo of him as well as Robert Trujillo both were metal bassists who had careers.
For When Dream and Day Unite, Dream Theater’s debut, Myung played a modified Music Man StingRay four-string bass and a Fender Jazz Bass. The StingRay (his main live instrument in that period) was customized with an added front pickup driving a clean bass amp, while the bridge signal was sent to the effects chain. A four-string Spector NS-2 was used for tracking 1992’s Images and Words.
After Tung ceased production, Myung began endorsing Yamaha instruments, using its TRB and John Patitucci six-string fretted and fretless basses live while working with Yamaha’s Artist Custom Shop on what would become his signature instrument. Prototypes of the RBX6JM along with his TRB basses were used for the recording of 1997’s Falling into Infinity. A bolt-on bass with alder body with flame-maple top, 35″ scale, and “Infinity” dot inlay on the fretboard, various Red and Blue RBX6JM models were thereafter his main studio and live instruments until 2002, although he experimented with a Hamer 8-string bass and Music Man StingRay five-string while recording Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
He got married to another Bassist Lisa Martnes Pace.
He was voted as the greatest bassist ever in the magazine Music Radar in 2010.

On July 23, 2007, Sterling Ball announced that Myung was moving to Music Man, writing that “John has fallen in love with the prototypes that we made of the Bongo 6 and is now playing them exclusively.”[1] Ball added that the Bongo 6 “is not a signature bass”, but “part of the regular line.”
In an interview with MusicRadar in 2010, Myung stated that he was working with Music Man on a modified Bongo. The finished product was a bass with a 6-string body but with the 6 strings accommodating a 5-string neck, resulting in a tighter string spacing. In a later interview, he said that this will not be considered a signature model, per Music Man’s company policy.[2].

In 2002, Myung and Yamaha unveiled the RBX-JM2, an updated version of his signature bass that echoed the redesign of Yamaha’s entire RBX-series of basses. A 34″ scale was used instead of the 35″ scale used on the RBX6JM had, and a single Seymour Duncan Music Man-type humbucking pickup was used, influenced by Myung’s use of the StingRay on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. (Myung’s personal RBX-JM2 differed from the production model, having a second pickup and additional controls.) This instrument was used on Dream Theater’s Train of Thought and Octavarium albums and tours.
