Most likely. However, the control CAVITY might be another issue entirely.

the passive bass doesn't have a place for the battery either.

seriously, why would you want to. i just spent the last 2 hours removing my
preamp from my mim active 5, went to passive. thru headphones its better
already. trying it out on a gig tommorrow night.

I love the tone of the bass,but would like it to have just a bit more punch,so i thought adding the pre might help,maybe i should look at other ways of getting what i need?

PreAmp Solution

Rather than taking two basses apart to get something that may or may not work I suggest a Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum Bass Preamp.

I use this unit with all my basses, active and passive, and it's an inexpensive addition to the electronic chain that adds additional bass EQ, compression, and depth control. This preamp does everything the advertisement says it does and is very easy to use.

My advice is to try all the possible external units before messing up with the bass.
