That was a remarkably quick ID! any thoughts on active overhaul/replacement? Thanks. M

Hi all. Just inherited this bass from my bass player who got it in part exchange from somone who didn't remember any detail about it re:dates/model name etc. [attachment=135181:pbass.jpg] [attachment=135185:P1480469.JPG] [attachment=135184:P1480468.JPG] Need to give it a good overhaul, particularly the electrics which are active and rather scratchy/humming. Could do with some help to narrow down it's ID before I embark on sourcing parts. What I know/think: It's roughly 1990, Mexican Fender Precision w/Jazz pick-ups, Active electrics, 2x stack pots translucent white, possibly 'Special' or 'Deluxe'. It's possible (don't get too upset) that I might have to rip out the active electrics and replace with straight-forward passive Jazz in order to get it on stage and working.. thoughts on this also appreciated. i.e. any real benefits in having active electrics? Thanks Mike
