In the 12 years I have had my BMTE6G I never touched them and I think the bass still sounds great.

I haven't played this new one out yet, but for now, the sound is doing it for me.

Although, I may just do it to do it...

Any idea on costs (not including shipping back and forth of course).

Thanks!

Usually I prefer doing this in private and not on a public forum where the world can read about the prices and services we charge and perform.

It is not cheap because we have to 'gut' the entire Bass to do the work. If both jobs (S/P and new Circuit) are done together the overall labor is cheaper. This may also involve re-shielding all the cavities and does involve and include a complete set-up with new Smith TCRM Strings.

Contact me in private or call me for a price estimate.

Default Sold your 6-string BMT?

You really sold it? Wow. This is the bass in your avatar, correct? I can never let mine go. Its a 1993, and it sounds better every year.

The early shape on the BMTs really help balance the bass while standing or sitting. So how is your new BMT 5-string? Any photos posted?
