Re: Passive VS Active

Active vs passive is all a matter of peronal taste. i have active and passive basses. i like both.  each has its own merits and issues. again.. personal taste!

Yo Victa, whatsoever you do, remember this here. You can't hold no groove, If you ain't got no pocket !

                  Hello everyone,



I have been using a Lakland USA 5502 for the past 8 years.  It has Bartolini pickups in it.  I recently purchased a used Lakland Darryl Jones for about $700.  (nice huh?  I didn't even have to use a gun!)



After one show on the Darry Jones my band leader requests that I bring that bass to his stage from now on.  He says the passive bass is sitting better in the mix on the recordings.  (he records every show)  I'm fine with this as the Darryl Jones is much lighter.



I just wanted to share this with the group.  I'm not sure if we ever hashed out the passive vs active pickup conversation as a group.  Any thoughts on this matter?



Ack.
