Thanks! I tend to stick to passive most of the time on my basses and appreciate the passive tone control on this model, especially combined with the pan. What I also like is that when flicking it to active, as long as the bass and treble are set to centre and the mid cut just a little, there is not a massive jump in volume. Then, boosting the bass adds serious depth. The mid is powerful too...... So, it sounds great in passive and active!
