Need help deciding on a Sixer

I've been going back and forth between these three for the last few weeks. I lean in one direction and then another. So what do you all think? I need a push...

I had the BTB for a few days before returning it, not that it wasn't good, but I just thought I didn't explore everything enough to be happy.

FWIW I would change the preamp on whichever one to an EMG BQC...

I would love to be at that sort of price point, the choice would be simple then. Alas, I am a slave to my sub $1200 budget and can't see going beyond that in the foreseeable future...

That is a ridiculous price jump. You do realize that not every one can afford basses with a price tag as high as that.
That said I have a MTD Kingston Z5 and it is an awesome bass, very well made. I love it!

Normally I really hate it when people reply to a thread like this with suggestions that the OP didn't list. So I can't believe I'm typing this, but... have you considered a Carvin? You could get a pretty sweet 6, customized with features you like, for that kind of budget.

Same here. They make very good stuff for the price. If you can stretch your budget a bit Tom Clement can make you whatever you want. Put your deposit down now and save up for the final payment.... Just sayin...
