james_guitar Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Hi, I currently have a Yamaha RBX JM2 for sale. It's two years old and has barely been used; I play a Fender Custom Jazz 24 as I prefer the thin neck and Jaco-esque tone to a rock tone (I am currently after a good double bass if anyone is selling one, so would consider a trade; preferably a 3/4 size Stentor). This bass is no longer in production, so if you're after a good six string and/or are a Dream Theater/John Myung fan then this is the bass for you. I am selling her for £450. If interested then send me a message with any questions or necessary contact information... Thanks, James [email protected] Edited May 31, 2009 by james_guitar

Machines Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 No, the JM2 comes in Inca Silver and Plum Pearl Metallic:

james_guitar Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) The one I have is the Plum Purple. I will take some pictures tomorrow and add them to the post. The bass is in excellent condition... Edited May 18, 2009 by james_guitar
NancyJohnson Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) [quote name='dood' post='490192' date='May 16 2009, 10:11 PM'][/quote] On the John Myung picture, the X inlay on the fingerboard looks one fret wrong...you'd think that the centre of it would be between the 11th and 12th fret, thus designating the position/marker of the octave. It's actually between the 12th and 13th, so technically the centre of the inlay is one fret sharp of the octave position. That said, I doubt that it's actually on the fingerboard for any other purpose than design over functionality. P Edited May 18, 2009 by NancyJohnson

Had he have gone to Jon Shuker, he'd have gotten it right first time.. Second time too [attachment=25497:DSC_0109b.JPG] Then just to rub it in, make sure everyone can see it from the back of the crowd!!

The spacing is a bit wider than I would like, but they have a nice amount of grunt to their sound!
Kongo Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I confused this with the Yamaha model before this (2 pups) and almost had a heart attack...Panic over. I'm a big Myung fan but I don't dig this model as much. However someone should snatch it as said, they no longer make these.

(how tight is the spacing on your girls if you find the JM2s too wide?!) +1 on the JM having grunt! stingray-like quality to the sound
james_guitar Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 That Shuker is a work of art; I've never seen anything quite like it Following your advice, I've finally got round to taking some photos. Before viewing, just a forewarning that I'm a musician, not a photographer...
Machines Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I managed to play one of these today in Birmingham PMT - it was pretty damned nice. They're £700 new so this is pretty good !

james_guitar Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 I don't usually do this, but seeing as there's only a couple of days left on the auction, thought I'd better give this post a bump...
squarejawbassist Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I was going to express some interest in this meself, but not sure if I could do a six string justice! A DT obsessed mate handed this over to a friend a few years back, was talking about this model last night as they've been using it to record. I'm suprised this hasn't gone yet as they had nothing but good things to say about it.

If it doesn't sell then it's not a problem; I can just leave it in it's case for a bit longer to gain some more value.
