Hotter signal?

[Bill Bernhard]

Not to derail this thread, but i was just going to comment.
I had a '85 BT4 set neck with the passive set up. That standby was very cool indeed. Even the phase was useful as an effect, with the blend rolled off center. At times i wish i could have kept it, but i really wanted a 5 and active so i traded for a BSR5 that i love more every day. One note that suprises me is that the BSR 5 set flat sounds very similar to the BT 4 even though one is active and one is passive.
