For the time being, I'd appreciate your pointing me to a pdf of the manual for a CR.
Cheers & thanks.

PDF? Manual? Manual for what exactly? It's the same as any other bass we make as far as how it works.
We started making the CR model (Crunch Resonator) or, BTBO, BT Bolt-On in 1991 with 28 6-string basses, the first run. Then we soon after designed and made the 5-string and then the 4-string but never a big run of any model after that first group of 6s.. These were a similar designs to the Burner which was a Bolt-on copy of the BT but, made in Japan with some of our materials and completed in our NY Shop (later in PA after 6/'95).
In 1996 the BSR model was added to the Bolt-on line BUT, I called them CR's for about the first year or so contemplating discontinuing the CR/BT shape for the BSR. Surveying dealers and players we found there were many on both sides that still preferred the long standing established BT shape, Bolt-on or Neck-thru.
What ever circuit went in the Neck-thru at any given time, went into the Bolt-on as well.
If you have questions about a specific actual bass, Email pictures to me at the office, not here.
