as above...I seem to find conflicting information on the these? I always thought they were passive with simple tone/volume and pup selector, not unlike my BB414

cheers :)

You been looking at that one on ebay? :) Me too...

I think it's passive only. I've got a 1100s which does both; very similar in appearance but has a small switch to select the active, and has three extra knobs for bass mid and treble in active mode (mine is also bolt on of course)

Mine actually sounds better in passive mode. The thru neck on this 1000s will be a further advantage I think.

A winner I reckon :)

Snap! Yes, I've been rumbled.... I'm having a little wave on it :)

.....it does look like it's had a rough life though...I never like to see missing bits n tatty wiring on anything but a Fender...I can pick up the phone and order anything for a Fender next day....for a new Yamaha, let alone an old one...well...um... :)
