[QUOTE="GtrGeorge!, post: 56151, member: 1132"] so many pickups so little time. I have used so many..and still to this day continue to learn and experiment. Thats why you guy would dig seeing me live..its a tone fest!!!! See the gig ads for details. Anyway, the only sold things I can say are: Actives and passives are different on so many levels, and so much depends on what you are interacing with. What amp? What preamp? I find neither is the answer. But agree with Guitarcomets comments that passives DEFINED the sound of guitar from 1950-1990. And I have alot of respect for that. But even now, I see the need for change..players now routinely tune down (to A!!!) use 7 and string guitars, use baritone instrumemts and essentially approach the same game with all new aspirations and technique. its kind of exciting. i wish their was variety among the innovators..but hey thats asking alot. I thinks its all good. I live with actives out live in my High energy cover band ("The Fuse") and play passives occasionally in my home studio. Both are good. And I would like all the weird hybrid stuff in-between..like the HB pickups from germany years ago with EQ dials on the face of the HB!!! (I think it was from Shadow,inc). mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
