I've just bought a very cheap Ibanez SRX 390 on Ebay, and after a little maintenance it's sounding quite nice. It has a battery, and therefore I had assumed it's an active bass. However I've found a 2008 catalogue that suggests that it has "extra powerful PASSIVE full range pickups". It has high and low equalisers, so is the battery just running these?
Link to catalogue:
The reason I'm asking is, our rehearsal room has a Hartke amp, with two inputs - one passive, one active. So which one should I be plugging this bass in to?
Sorry for the silly question, but It's all electrickery to me!
