Rig Rundown: Dream Theater’s John Petrucci and John Myung [2019]

The progressive metal band’s sultans of shred talk about the gear on The Distance Over Time tour, including John Petrucci’s brand-new Music Man Majesty Series signature models and Myung’s potential 2020 signature bass.

Another of Myung’s favorite basses is this humbucker-plus-single-coil-configured Music Man. He uses it on “Untethered Angel” from The Distance Over Time, and other numbers that require a distinct kind of sonic projection. The alternate tunings he’s using for this tour are either a half-step above or a half-step below standard.
