Active/Passive delay?

[phsycoandy]

Had first full on praccy with my new USA '75 RI tonight, didn't take the GB. I can't believe how two basses can perform so differently. Having practiced for months with the guys with the GB the Jazz just seemed to throw my timing out, just subtly but noticeable as if there is a definite almost delay in the production of the note. Or its more likely im used to the immediacy of the GB's active electronics and how fast it reacts, I know we are probably talking milleseconds here, and the Fender sounds great, just a whole different lazy playing style. Am I mad or has anybody else found this when switching between active and passive basses.

I'd say its all between your ears.....


more likely to be a (subtle) string spacing difference, that your fingers arent quite used to yet.....
