The Passive Club!!

All of my basses are passive except one. But it can't hep it!:D

1. 69 Gibson EB-3
2. 71 Gibson EB-3L
3. 97 Carvin LB-70 (Took out the battery, should have gotten an LB-20-never play it active)
4. 02 Carvin AC-40F (Fretless piezo so it can't be passive):crying:
5. 08 Fender Precision
6. 64 Fender Custom Shop Relic Jazz

5 out of 6 ain't bad!!;)
 
I've been a passive guy for a few years now. My passive basses get all the attention. Of my active basses, My Carvin LB75f never gets out of the house anymore, and I'm very close to making my 55-01 passive. I may go active again, but for now "my tone" seems to be passive.
 
Here's my herd, not one battery between 'em:

Howdy,

I just picked my newly acquired Lakland Duck Dunn which I had loaded with a Nordy NP4 by my luthier.

AAAAAAAAAH- Vintage single coil heaven to my ears!
A worthy companion to my passive Grosh J Bass.

I will never again have to think about that fargging shade wearing, drum beating wabbit, looking for my battery box!
