I just got a spector Performance 4 bass and it is a passive. The guy at the shop said you can upgrade it latter if you need to. I cant remeber if he said that you would a preamp and new active pickups or just the preamp...so does anyone no? My bass has EMG-SSD pickups.. oh yeah im not gonna upgrade any time soon just interested for the future thanks
anyone??? To make it active do i need new pickups and preamp or just the preamp?? I think you just need the preamp but new pickups would make it even better or something like that
Your Spector more than likely has passive pickups. You can either add a preamp, swap out your pickups for active pickups (ie. EMG)and have a passive tone control, or you can change the pickups and have a preamp.
