Well folks ..
Im looking to do a bit of upgrading to one of my Basses and im looking at putting in a J Retro , i also want to change the PuPs but im not sure weather to use active or passive !!! the retro comes with its own power supply so im thinking that the pups should be passive ..... or do i get active and they are run from the battery in the J Retro ... can anyone clarify this.........or does it even matter ..Thanks .

Active pickups - Like chris b - I've never seen any for sale apart from EMG's. According to the EMG website: [url="http://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/4-string/35dc.html#info"]http://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/4-string/35dc.html#info[/url] They already have a preamp in the active pickup designs - not sure how well they would work with the J-retro. I'd imagine they could be made to work well.
