Tony	Active vs Passive To start things off..... hehehehe. Just quickly to get things rolling..and I'v got to go to college in 3 mins.. Active vs Passive, pro's and con's, this should get some blood flowing... Active Pro-Sounds Better, mine do anyway, hehehe. Pro-Better Bandwidth. Pro-More gain available. Pro-More percussive. Con-Battery Con-Expensive to manufacture. Passive Pro-No Battery Pro-Cheaper Con-Can be limiting. Anyone else... Tony Mastertone Pickups
