On board active electrics...going full circle.

I'm mainly active (7), but have two passive Jazzes (soon to be three when the Walnut/Graphite build is complete.)

 

15 passive, 4 active. I have an unused active preamp in a box. Is that useful information? I suspect not, given most voices here are active fans.

 

Edit: Whoops... forgot the acoustic.

Mine wasn't... until I fitted a piezo and preamp.

Just to go on-topic for a second (shock!), a quick straw poll of my basses reveals that apart from my very first bass, a '65 Höfner, every instrument is active. Even the ones that started out passive. I guess I just like them that way. 

 

One passive bass, one which I bought passive but I subsequently activated, 30ish active. The Megatar is also passive. World Battery Change Day promises to be quite expensive.

 

Added to that, all my guitars are active except one -  the electrics are Variaxes and a Jamstik, the acoustics are electroacoustics except for one.

Everyone has a pre-amp in a box. Usually it's part of their amp.
