I can't speak for your bass, but I am positive about the Sb's electronics. You either get the active/passive electronics with passive tone controls, or you get the mid sweep option.
Only if you have the preamp that comes standard on the instrument, or get strictly passive electronics. If you opt for the mid sweep control, you lose the active/passive function.
I ordered my second Carvin and my first sb5000 yesterday. Can't wait! :D
