    The ol' "active v passive" debate

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by Stacatto

    My preference is to have at least one instrument as a backup.
    Here's my current lineup of four basses. One of two five strings is fretless, and one four string is neck through. It's a diverse group.

    1. Active/Passive
    2. Passive
    3, Passive
    4. Active

    That list includes only one bass that will not operate without a 9v battery. Any of the other 3 basses can be carried on a gig to replace it on stage if No. 4 has a battery fail (or it otherwise fails) during a song.

    Anyone had experience with ESP Bass Guitars?

    Just started the honeymoon, here. The model is [font=lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif]Ltd[/font] B-204FM (made in Korea). This flamed maple over basswood (FM) model was later replaced by the spalted maple (SM) over ash version.

    I've got basses from the same price range, and more expensive bass instruments. This one is impressive on every level-sound, feel, EQ options, looks, quality of parts, and workmanship from the factory.

    To supplement my 3 Jazz basses, I've sold my MIM P bass, and bought one of the SRX series. The muscle tones available on that bass make for some sound alternatives!

    [quote name='Stacatto' post='957708' date='Sep 15 2010, 03:19 PM']There are (and will be) plenty of 'used' MIM P basses available. The one that I found hanging on the wall at the music store last year was a little used closet queen from 2000.
    The price was $200 US.

    I own 3 MIM's and no Squiers, call me what you will...[/quote]

    It's a Peavey

    Got one?

    In my attempts to add a variety of basses, and pickup sounds to the lineup, I've added
    a couple of different Peavey basses, lately. First was a defretted, Peavey Millennium
    BXP Fiver, now this one with matching headstock.

    This active/passive bass with factory bypass was born in Meridian, Mississippi in 1989...

    The Super Ferrite pups have tons of tonal options, and are pleasing to my ears!

    Many posts refer to the Millennium BXP basses as if they were ALL built Active. Not the case!

    -Passive 4 string, and a passive 5 string built with a basswood body (3 knobs).
    -Active 4 string, and a active 5 string built with an agathis body (5 knobs).

    My passive M BXP Fiver was defretted by a qualified guy, and is a joy to play.
