I love this bass, I wanted one ever since i saw my teacher's BT6EG.
It plays great, and sounds great.
There's just a little problem with the electronics, it's playable but i get this hum when i play passive (so i don't ) but all this should be sorted out when i buy a new electronics retrofit from Ken Smith.

(sorry for the greasy fingers! i took these pictures after playing for a while)

Hey i love this bass, i am a 3 knob junkie. Good luck with the repairs, but i would send it to Ken and let him do the repairs. Cant go wrong that way.
