Old Burner V...

[Virgilio Venditti]

Hi, I am just new and allowed myself to register, since from yesterday I bought (from the original buyer) a 1991 black Burner V. Its birhtday is 9-20-91 and the serial nr. written on the ctl cavity cover is 91574-5 (also reported on the 24 fret). I am pretty satisfied with the bass, I would say. (Better: I just love it!) I am just curious if there is anything in particular to be known about this bass: I understand the Burner series has been replaced by the BSR, but can't really find anything much more around on the net! It seems to me a really serious bass, despite its "first step" placement in the Ken Smith "ladder": straight neck, beautiful fretwork, huge and mighty overall tone and plenty of options, all of which useful. Am I wrong or simply someone put something in my sandwich today?????? Another one: it has Vol/Panpot/Hi/Low controls. The Hi ctl has the center detent, while the bass seems only starting from zero and adding lows: am I wrong, here? Best things everybody...
