When the bass is in passive mode, is the battery bypassed?
I wouldn’t imagine it is, as there would probably be a ‘pop’ when changing modes, but anyway.
As people were talking about flats, I’ve just bought a 5 string hybrid to use solely with flats, so my MV5 sticks with roundwounds. I have too say that for flats I do prefer the hybrid to the Jazz, although the Jazz still sounds great, there’s just something extra special about a precision pickup with flats.

No. The battery drains any time a cord is plugged into the jack.

I have this same German PJ with the same finish (the finish seams bulletproof) in a 4-string and agree with Scuba that it's wonderful. I too have owned an NYC JJ, which I loved everything about, but the tone. My new PJ only weighs 7.51 lbs., so I can play it for hours. I run it passive probably 90% of the time and it sits in the rock mix perfectly. I was fortunate enough to get it from FretNation 15% off over the 4th of July weekend. From what I'm seeing it looks like the prices have recently gone up, but they're still a bargain. I'm considering adding a twin and setting it up BEAD, as we've added another singer to our band, who favors C, C#, D, and Eb.

She's not exactly a twin, as my first has the Almond Burst Open Pore Swamp Ash finish, but she's close enough. Jason at Fret Nation took great care of me (I have no affiliation). Jason confirmed the recent price increase, but he honored the old price on their 2022 stock and discounted her from there. UPS tracking says she'll be here tomorrow, so I'll be sure to provide an update later in the week.

The Satin series are something else.

I have one of the last ten, confirmed by Roger himself.

I’ll never part with it.
