EMG preamps are all for active pickups I believe.

Also, as most people slag off the Spector Tonepump preamp and replace them, you should be able to pick up one on here somewhere fairly cheaply. Thing is, they're great. I have a Spector 6 string with the Tonepump in it and it's awsome.

Hi

As far as i am aware you can use the EMG BQC active preamp with active or passive pickups.

The EMG stuff is for active only, the pots are not really rated to make passive pickups sound good. In fact, they say it's for EMG pickups only.

Bartolini make some fine preamps, I've got a couple of basses with them in and they're rather nice indeed, I'd have no second thoughts about recommending them. Send them a mail, they should probably be able to recommend something which will really suit your pickups well.
