Wow! You are quite the versatile and talented bassist. To address the subject - I have a passive Jazz with stock pickups, a purely active bass with EMG DC&J and 3 band EQ, a bass with passive stock HBs and a 3 band eq with the midsweep, and a formerly passive bass that now was EMG PX x2 and the typical VVT setup. I am a bedroom guy , I like metal and RnB, i am not a pro , so take my words with salt, I prefer a simple sound that just works. I don't necessarily need crazy EQ. I just need good pickups + the right strings , fed into the right chain. THAT IS IT! I prefer to keep it simple. Perhaps if i were going live, I would rethink things. For tone or sound, it depends. I love the clarity of active EMG but I appreciate passive tones also! You can absolutely slam it with passives! Yes, a PBass has less tonal shaping on board, but, You can always use a graphic EQ to mold it!

I personally like both active and passive basses. One of my most treasured bass guitars is a Yamaha trbx505. It’s the first bass I own that has a passive/active switching. I personally like this feature. Not only does it save my performance from a drained battery, but it also gives me the best of both worlds on going active and passive on one bass. I also have a modified Ibanez bass that has an onboard preamp containing active/passive switching. And I plan to do the same modifications on some of my other basses sometime soon.

I personally prefer passive basses. If I wanna mess with my tone in a more impactful way than the tone knob, I'll do that over on my amp or in post. Active basses are great, but when I had one I found myself fighting the electronics more than actually playing the damn thing. Whether you like one or the other more is entirely up to you, in my opinion neither is inherently better or worse than the other.

Have to agree, and I prefer passive setups, too, with Bartolini pickups in particular. I recently bought an Ibanez BTB 6 and it was out for work two days later to remove the preamp.

When I made changing batteries part of regularly scheduled bass maintenance, I havent had a battery die on me since. The last time it happened was probably about C. 1990 so Ive gone three decades without an issue. Keep rockin!

It doesn't sound true that active basses have no character. The Musicman bass is one of those basses that has a character that is so easy to recognize. At the same time it can be used in so many different genres. Just remember the sound of Pino Palladino with Paul Young in the 80's, Flea, Rage Against the Machine, Louis Johnson and so many more. So how can any reasonable person say that active basses have no character when in reality active basses have many characters not just one?

I have the best of both worlds my my Aria SB-1000 bass which has an 18v preamp with two 9v batteries but also functions as a passive bass if the batteries die. In this case the preamp isnt merely for EQ but it also adds a very unique character to the sound which makes it really stand out. To me it’s like the Rickenbacker of Japanese basses. A “character bass” for when you want a special unique flavor you cant really replicate easily.

One of the great things about a G&L L2000 is that all the tone controls and series / parallel work in both passive and active modes. Many active basses don’t have “passive” tone controls. Anyway the whole active v passive debate is a bit academic. If you’re playing using amplification, the “active” bit is just amplification at a different part of the signal chain 😊😎

What I don't like about most active basses, besides the potential for failure due to the battery (been there, done that XD), is the the choice of frequencies of many preamps. I consider having the lows central frequency below 80 hz useful only for cutting (at least live) and the highs above 6k completely useless (I often put a low pass filter at 6k!). The mids are a mixed bag: while 800 hz can be useful for boosting and 4-500 for cutting to control boxiness and mud, I simply wish there were more preamps controlling the 1-1.5k hz area, that is super useful for cutting through the mix. The first onboard preamp I really liked is a custom one that I had made according to my specifications (lows at 100 hz, mids at 1k and highs at 4k)

Active basses were a requirement of the past IMHO. Nowadays the pedals, mixers, speakers and amplifiers are much more versatile and you can bring out any tone by adjusting EQ and dynamics. I am very happy with my fully passive bass and I am getting amazing sound even using just a DI. The DI pedals are very comprehensive in terms of tone requirements, they have very good 4 band EQ, compressor and clarity settings. So why bother with a battery on the instrument.

I do not find that passive basses are as "a general rule" to be "quieter", meaning- lower output. I have some active Fender Jazz Basses that have LESS output than their passive versions, and yes, the pickups and such are properly and fairly adjusted. Conversely, while I don't have any passive versions of a Stingray, every one of my (active) Stingrays has more output than ANY Fender bass I own, active or passive. So... there is NO "general rule" regarding the idea that actives have more output than passive basses aspect. Regarding the active basses and the battery going dead, sorry that happened to you, but for some, and likely most that are watching, a yearly check and replace of a 9-volt in EVERY active bass you own is just simple basic maintenance, like replacing HVAC filters, and well... even 9 volt batteries in smoke alarms in the places you live. Yes, you might require a bi-annual or other schedule for replacing batteries if you are playing so much more but the solution to the problem is... to not use the tremendous performance and tonal virtues of an active bass live??? Ok. You do you. But... ...for those that need or seeking advice that are open to hearing a different experience and approach- I'm here to tell you as an active bass (and sometimes passive bass) user and professional/gigging musician of 30 years- don't shy away from active bass because you're scared about the battery going out. Replace your battery! Once a year at least. It's impossibly simple maintenance and is usually for about 98% of us need it changed so infrequently. My experience is only ONCE in 30 years of playing (and practices) did a battery ever go out on me in any situation. I take the blame, but it also happened ONLY ONCE (in a practice, btw) in probably 10,000 hours or more of playing/practicing, and that infinitesimally small failure rate against playing time DOES NOT invalidate the wisdom of playing active basses live or does not make for reasonable "risk" argument against playing an active bass, live. Play what you want. But don't be afraid to play what you want because of a battery fear. Interesting and thought-provoking video, thanks.

Interesting.... I'm trying to decide on which way to go for a custom bass. The 2 basses I have are active (EMGs with Eshtronic) so I don't really have a lot of experience with passives. however, I tried a passive bass with custom Kent Armstrong pickups on a convention and didn't find myself missing anything compared to my EMGs. That being said I of course wasn't able to directly a/b them against each other. I play metal and like a clear but still chracterful bass tone and I usually use an overdrive or even fuzz pedal (though still keeping some clean in the mix to keep the clarity). I'm not someone who usually changes their tone a whole lot on the fly. I typically find the setting I like most and stick with it for the most part. Plus, even though those batteries last a LONG time, I am constantly a little concerned about them crapping out at the wrong moment. had that happen once before when the battery died on my saturday afternoon while doing a last playthrough of my stuff before a gig in the evening. So I kinda lean towards getting a passive (probably with dual Nordstrand MM-style buckers, Bigman maybe? or a Bigman and a Splitman?) but would I miss something in sound as opposed to my active EMG-equipped Esh basses? It's not like they have a lot of additional tone-shaping, other than all the pickup-combinations and piezos, they only have a volume and a tone knob.

If you like the way an active plays there's basically no downside other than changing a battery every couple of months, maybe even years if you rarely play. Many actives also have the option to use them in a passive mode. My Warwick Thumb sounds the same in passive mode as it does in active with neutral settings.

Also the preamp got so much 'color', it affects other things in signal chain (less clarity). I even turn the preamp gain down low, but to no effect. Then I took the preamp out, wired it J bass style, VVT. Like it so much better. I still use active basses tho, if I went direct with just the bass and nothing else in the signal chain.

Having an active bass just means you’ve got EQ and amplification at a different part of the signal path - no great deal. The best functionality for me is the G&L L2000 or 2500. The tone controls are cut only and work the same in active or passive modes - actually begs the question why bother with the pre-amp except it has a treble boost setting. Most of the time I use a Mike Lull M5 and it’s usually all flat or sometimes the treble rolled back. Amp is usually flat too. I think you can get enough variation just by changing your plucking style / aggression

But in certain situations (when I have to us more than a few pedals), I really love active pickups by EMG, but without the mostly shitty active onboard electronics (I just use volumes and tone). I use various preamps or preamp pedals for tone, that are way better. Pedals just love old style active EMG’s without active electronics! Especially octavers and other dynamic sensitive pedals! Way better than passive pickups. The only basses I love active electronics in, are my various EB MusicMan StingRays. And, I used to love my ‘80’s Spector NS-2 by Kramer. Stupid me sold it years ago!

Passive is the best unless your after that active Bass tone. Passive doesn't need batteries, but an Active needs you to remember to change the batteries which is annoying. Passive Bass Wins in My opinion too

Get some high capacity accus without memory effect, swap em over at each gig...oh, and a bass with active passive switching...job done, now go play.
