    This is now another one of my favorite basses of all time! You do not need the active model because this passive model will get the job done for you! I especially like it because the slap and pop tone is incredible! I recommend this bass to everybody!

  • You don't need the active......

    didn't mean to comment on bridge pickup - I meant the neck pickup seems/feels like it has some bass boost. Biggest thing to consider is the fretboard do you like flatter-this has it. Impressed w/the dynamics & noiseless quality of these ceramic pickup.

    Just played for about 1 hour today. Pickups are punchy w/good oomph + w/good bass louder & brighter than many passive pickups. Sounds like the bridge pickup has little bass boost. Also, the bass tho using single coils is otherwise noiseless. They did a nice job w/this one. You won't be embarrassed w/squier on the headstock. Simple controls, no equalization on board & no batteries. W/color-matching headstock, looks just like my 1st Fender Jazz Bass which I purchased new in '62. (My original bass absolutely did have hum.)
