*** SOLD *** Discontinued 6 String John Myung Signature Bass RBX 6JM Ruby Red

[Ballie]

Hey all,

I'm looking to sell a bass I bought a while back as a fan of Dream Theater, and now am in need of money as a student. It's the only 6 string bass I own that hasn't been tampered with or modified with anything that could reduce the value of it, this bass has all original parts.

I'm asking for £600 for the bass and the hard case it will include. Read on for more info.

I'm putting the bass on ebay this weekend as I can't afford to keep it sadly. It's been sitting in a case since about early 2008 and not seen daylight since I got my TRB 6P, my main bass. Playing mostly jazzy lighter music nowadays, I don't need the humbuckers and punchy deep tone the Myung bass has. While it's served me well, it's in excellent condition with one or two very minor cosmetic scratches on the back of the bass, no playing flaws, no dead frets etc.

Features:
-35" scale, nice tight B string!
-Slim neck profile, very comfortable to play with natural wood finish on the back for no resistance in shifting like on a glossed neck.
-3 band EQ
-Two humbuckers
-Gold coloured hardware
-Ruby Red finish (can see natural wood through and looks classy!)
-Ebony Fretboard
-Cool "Infinity" Inlay!
-Two Truss Rods

The bass will include a hard case, which does have one of the corner protectors missing, but still works fine! I already have two other flight cases and need the space more than anything.

String spacing is great, I think around 17mm so not too tight for those thinking of switching from a 4 string as I did. Great all round tone, it certainly worked for John Myung! The fretboard inlay is eye candy too, looks the part on stage. The bass only saw around maybe 9 gigs, when it was straight out of the case, and straight back into the case after. I wouldn't ever play this bass at a gig where it might get knocked or anything. It has been my pride and joy for a while, and I don't want to see it go.

Tuning stability is fantastic, a real solid 6-bolt neck joint, intonation never needs adjusting and I'm fussy about tuning!

Todd Johnson plays one of these basses in his older videos, before getting his signature bass. It sounded great in that jazz scenario as well as rock, sessions I was called for (theatre work, local gigs).

Once again, it's an all-round great bass which I have held onto for as long as I could, but am getting a little short on cash now as a student and my bass collection is shrinking gradually. This is a bass I didn't want to let go of.

Please PM me for any other details you wish to know.

Collection available from Guildford (near London) or Cheltenham (Gloucestershire). I want to avoid postage if possible at the risk of the bass being damaged in transit, though I'm not ruling out postage altogether. Will deliver within a 50 mile range of either of the two towns, but petrol will need to be covered for me.

I will do a final set up the bass before selling just so it'll serve the next owner well for a long time.

I'll take a couple of pictures of this bass when I go back home for the weekend and stick them up Friday. Here's what the bass looks like, picture not taken by me.

Here's a pic taken in a band practise in my basement some time ago! Not a close up of the bass, but that is the exact bass being sold...

It's the one on the left! The other two are guitars...



That's just light glare, the white on the bass. Better photos coming Thursday night, around 10pm!
