I'm curious about the difference between the old AB2 and the newer one. Has anybody here played both? Is there a big difference in tone or feel between the solid, oil finished, walnut body with the Aguilar preamp and the newer glossy chambered body with sound hole and Glockenklang preamp?

Here's a picture of my "old" AB2 dated September 22, 2005. I modified the electronics with with a series/parallel switch for each of the FD3-4L pickups and a push/pull switch on the volume control for the original Aguilar preamp.
