Re: active pickups---help me

active pickups have a small amplifier actually built onto the pickup unit - to get active tones, you'd need to replace the stock ones with active pickups.. this is pretty easily done, but you'll need to replace the pots and output jack (these usually come free)

and i totally agree with you on the active bass pickups, they really do have a kick that few passive basses can match

Look under "cutting edge" for the SD active bass pickups and related active tone shaping add-ons.

SD active pickups come with the new pots and jack supplied.
