Burner information and upgrade questions

[Fernando Rosa]

Ken I have a 5 Burner serial 971 542 CM5 What you can say about this bass. The circuit 4 - Knob that you have to sell now is the same one used at the time or you did some modification? I wonder if you have any news for pre-amp 4 Knobs.

Thank you

The 4-knob was 4 of the 5-knob BMT units. We no longer make that 9v unit. Sometime in the near future as needed, we will take some of the current 18v 5-knob units and design them for replacements for 4 or 5 knob units with one 9v battery like the originals but still have the internal DIP switch panel for eq pre-set changes.

What is the difference between Custom and Deluxe Model?

If you read the model differences in the link above, the custom is a 5pc neck, the deluxe a 3pc and the deluxe is ash body as opposed to maple or walnut on the custom.
