Default Difference?

Hi!

What, except the woods and bodyshape, would be the differences between a -01 BSR5M and a -95 CR5?
Thanks!

Design wise nothing has changed. Basses like these that are 100% hand made (non-automated) will vary from one another in carving and sanding. The 5 knob BMT circuit came out in 1993 and was not changed until 2004. Some older Bolt-on models and a few nech-thru models were made with only 4 of the 5 knobs, no midrange. These can be easily modified here by us adding the mid-control to the current 9v unit.
