Linus27 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 What's this active/passive switch? Can you tell me more? Did you fit it yourself or did it come as standard with the bass? Is there any sound difference when passive and active? Thanks
Aharon Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 [quote name='greyparrot' post='355171' date='Dec 15 2008, 04:41 PM']is it still for sale? how about cash £500 and ill pick it up from you? if interested send email to [email protected] as long as it looks like the pics and in the condition stated. These are hard times, and maybe a year ago i could have done the full £650! If the offer is too low for you, its cool, but its all i would be willing to pay. Regards, Rich.[/quote] Sorry rich, I dont think £500 is reasonable enough. It has already gone down from £650 to £600. I understand times are hard but hopefully things get better soon! Aharon

Thanks[/quote] Hello, It came with the bass when I got it off Sean.Robinson (fellow bass chatter) and it came standard when he bought it (must be less than a year ago). The switch basically bypasses the active preamp (the MM pickup itself is passive). The difference in tone depends entirely on what you dialed in on the preamp. Generally speaking it is very subtle and its main purpose is either for when your battery runs out or you could use it as a 'boost / eq' pedal by heavily adjusting the preamp controls. Turning it on/off simply involves pulling the volume knob in/out. Personally I didnt use it at all because the battery life is very good and I never needed it. Hope this helps! Aharon
