Thanks very much for that info! I didnt realize that I would need a 
specific
pickup in order for it to work. Thanks again.

The Passac Sentient Six was a rackmount guitar MIDI controller/hex pickup
system. From what I remember hearing about them (I didn't own one), they
didn't track too well. I'm not sure if it can be used with a hex pickup
other than the proprietry one or not; if the pickup doesn't come with it
and you can't try it out to see if it even works, you'd probably be better
off passing on it, unless it's REALLY cheap and you think you'll be able to
find a pickup for it someday.

Here's what it looked like:
