Hi from Oregon
Hi Smith vets, Newb from Oregon.
I just joined the forum after getting a stern Use-your-real-name lecture, which seems like a reasonable policy. I play both electric and upright in a wide variety of genres. I joined the forum to get as much information on KS Basses (electric, 4 str, fretted) before I buy one - which means that I'll probably be asking a lot of naive questions, so please bear with me. First question: Where can I get information on the classic CR models? The search engine doesn't seem to find anything. Keep walkin' Terry |

Actually, I am making a one right now, mainly because it's a model I like playing. Very comfortable and close to my original design from over 30 years ago, the BT, just a slight alteration from the first prototype. |

thanks!
Thank you for your reply, Mr. Smith. I hesitated to ask you - you're undoubtedly swamped with inquiries.
What I was looking for was threads on the forum about the CR series or a KSB site that posted manuals etc on legacy products. I am seriously looking at a CR4 1994, and wanted to know more about the CRs (history, specs, sound character etc). I was going to call KSB with specific questions once I had done some basic homework. For the time being, I'd appreciate your pointing me to a pdf of the manual for a CR. Cheers & thanks. Terry |

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. support@kensmithbasses.com |
