John Myung is one of the most popular and richest Bassist who was born on January 24, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Progressive metal bassist, and founder of the Dream Theater band. The albums he has released together with Dream Theater include When Dream and Day Unite Awake along with Falling into Infinity.
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.

Myung has used a 12 string Grand Chapman Stick on two songs on Falling Into Infinity, most prominently New Millennium, which he performs live on Stick. Dream Theater sources report that the Stick routinely comes into the studio and has sometimes made it so far as tracking (the song “Home” from Scenes from a Memory originally featured it), but it has not made the mix since Falling into Infinity. He did, however, use the Stick on several tracks on Sean Malone’s second album Gordian Knot including “Srikara Tal” and “Redemption’s Way.” Myung used a fretless bass on the Dream Theater songs “Through Her Eyes”, “Far From Heaven”, “Hollow Years”, “Peruvian Skies”, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Silent Man”.
