That's a beauty. Enjoy it.
Almost identical, although it looks as though yours has had the electronics modified?

I think Ken had a coil tap in mine at one point. Now it's piezo and mag volume and tone. I couldn't ask for more tonal options.

So do you have a master volume plus individual volumes? In other words, what's the fifth knob for?

Mine is volume mag, tone mag, vol piezo, tone piezo.

That's interesting ! It seems that both Chamberbasses have a 100% passive layout ! Correct ?

Never seen KLs without a preamp. But anyway I prefer passive mode on Fretless'.

Are you the person that was trying to sell this recently? I contacted the seller but he would only do a local deal no matter how much I begged.

SPOILER ALERT






Point of interest , with the piezo on this bass , while not playing it picks up your heartbeat.
Freaked me out the first time.
