    Passive to active pups in Schecter bass & distortion pedal

    i was thinking about doing the exact same thing with the exact same bass haha. my question was would i need to wire another battery to the dc's, or change the preamp out, or would the single 9-volt and preamp work with the active (versus passive) pickups?
