Hey passive club,
I'm wondering how you guys feel about basses that do have an active/passive switch vs. totally passive basses. Does an active/passive owner who uses the passive mode most of the time count?

i dont like them. most people i've talked to only use one of the modes. seems like superfluous electronics to me, just another thing to go wrong.

Definitely digging the simplicity of passive. The more I play, the less knobs and switches I want. Just give me one great tone, and I'm a happy guy!

Hey, I wanna join!
My number one is my passive MIM Fender P with original 62 pickups. I've gone through a lot of basses and finally figured out that I prefer the passive sound. I've even decided to change over one of my Ibanez when I can get a little extra time.

I play a Fender American Standard Jazz as my main bass. Passive pickups are the ONLY way to go!

So, let me in! Please?

custom fiver, practicly zero noise, beautiful wenge fingerboard, awesome dynamics, even with compressor ON.
love my bass

Also have a passiv fretless, not so good, but it works quite good.
ABG is active, but I've never saw a passive piezo p-up ABG's... do they exist?

A number will rock!

Got a passive SX Jazz and a Warwick Streamer Stage I 6 that I keep around for the passive mode. Instant 6 string Jazz Bass burp! (I'm serious about this. In passive mode, it's pickup blend and volume only. Not even a high end roll off masquerading as a tone knob.)

Whadya say?
