passive

i don't know how many warwickers love passive pickups, but i am one of them. i do know that a lot of warwickers LOVE MEC's. i also know that their ONLY one complain is allways that hum. now .. can we ask for dual in line passive TJ's and J's in the future? please .. :roll: ollie, florin...

I am looking for one of these and I heard that Warwick does not make fretless corvettes in bubinga passive in 5 string versons :shock: .Is this true? anybody?

So! Active vs. passive electronics? What do people out here preffer?

Just thinking ahead here a bit. I've been thinking about getting a Passive P-Bass (vintage style 1 3/4" nut), to compliment my Thumb 4BO; I'm trying to find something with a bit more traditional "Blues" sound to play, and I like the extra spacing. So I've been thinking about either a...

I pluged it directly into my laptop only via cable...so the sound isn't represanting but nonetheless here it is... - bridge pick-up, fingers... -both pickups, slap... P.S. The sound is directly recording with none of equilazing, etc... Comments please...on sound, technic...

Hi I'd like to know if there's battery consumption when I have my bass plugged (I mean connected with the jack but me not playing) and the volume knob pulled in passive mode. It's for not to unplug the jack. It's a 90's thumb NT with bartolini and the original electronics. thanks

I own 2 passive corvette, one bubinga and one ash. I´m happy with the sounds but always looking for more! Can anybody explain what would be the difference if I would have active electronics with passive pickups vs. active el. with active pu´s? I think I understand act. el., a preamp in the...

So, what are my options as far as passive pick ups go in a custom Warwick?

hi. i have 2 passive lefay soapbar humbuckers. from every pickup, there comes a black cable that contains one blue wire, one white wire, and one blank wire without jacket. now, i think white is hot, blue is ground, right ? but what is that blank wire for ? and my second question...

it's me again. I still looking a preamp for my passive bartolini soapbar PU, I am thinking to modify my EMG active electronics to passive, is there any body know how to do it? I know the balance pot should be change to 250K, how about the vol pot?? or I found my old MEC circuit which...

Hello. Well, I'm new to the forum and to the bass. Well, actually to playing any instrument at all. I want to buy a, well who would guess it, RockBass. I really like the Streamer (4String) in white with the 2 Humbuckers. But I don't know if it would be better to get a bass with active...

Hi! I noticed one thing about balance control pot on my Stand. Corvette Passive. It doesn't really work as balance control like the one on my Thumb BO. It's really just like a switch control between pick-ups. I can only have neck, birdge pick-up separately or I can have both of them...

I just bought a used one on the old Ebay for $500, and will be the first "real" fretless I've owned. I've previously made one of random Fender components bought on ebay, and had a Dean fretless for a spell. Funny thing is, I was at Guitar Center earlier today and tried one out, and it was...

HI, My amp has 0db and -6db inputs. I use the active one since the signal coming out of my Thumb BO is hot. I've read an interview with a bassist somewhere on the net and he was saying he never uses passive inputs even with active basses. According to him sound quality decreases with active...

The pickups on Jazzman and $$ models are passive, right? Yet, they have an equalization control that is active. Tell me, do these basses require batteries at all?

It seems that all 6-string Warwicks use the same Active 6-strings humbuckers. (Except the two 6-string streamers in the custom shop which use active Js...) Are there any 6-string passive pickups in the list of pickups available through the custom shop? are there Twin Js or Ps in passive 6...

I have so much to learn. A bass player friend of mine down the hall heard me playing and asked if he could bring his bass over to try on my BA500, so he comes with a Fender Mexican made, passive jazz bass. He said it has custom 70's pick ups and custom pots. We turned my amp up more than half...

I am looking at a phot of someone offering a fretless vette 4 string. The pickups are not specified as either Passive or active. But as I look at the photos of the pickups I see the MEC logo and then other writing to the other side of the pickup. I believe it says Dynamic Correction. How can...

I'm sure the Active-Passive bit has been done to death, but one thing I've noticed is that on the Thumb BO and previously on my active 'Vette I found myself using the passive sound more often than active manipulation. So...........firstly, am I weird? and secondly, does the true passive...

If anyone has had experience with both the MEC passive Jazzman setup (streamer or Corvette Jazzman models) and also the MEC active Jazzman setup (as on the 04 Ltd and infinity models) could you please give me an idea of the tonal differences between these two setups? I really like the zingy...
