I finally got my dream bass, the old mighty BMT6. I had the privilege to play it today at my church and I was blown away. Amazing instrument, truly a work of art and craftsmanship.

This is the Hybrid between the BMT and BSR but basically a BMT with the BT point instead of the scoop which is sort of how the BSR was born. Beautiful Bass.

Just purchased this, needless to say Im very happy playing it, I love the 5 piece body also, The quality is tangible.....

Does the "S" at the end of serial stand for Shedua? Also what model is this exactly?

Hi all,

I have actually had some dummass say to me; "hey dude, nice Carvin" at which time I told him that he was mistaken. I informed him that the bass was really a "Sears", couldn't he plainly see the big "S"?

Gotta love a wiseass!!

Later, Kirk

That bass you just got looks almost identical to mine. I'm curious if they're twin's, built around the same time.
