It's not the active bass, it's the slap happy bassist playing it.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

A bass is a bass.

 

[Grant Gross]

All bases and headstocks (except PRSes) are beautiful.

I'm told that's the case
Like a matter of race
Can you judge by the face?

I like active basses and active guitar pickups too.

Uncorrect.

An active bass with a three band EQ is great for playing along with music because I can just crank the mids to cut through. Sadly it’s hard to find a bass like this. U dunno why manufacturers can just put a three band baxandall EQ in everything.

Active guitars are ok in my book. active basses are, like six strings, for posers and pretentious funk players

Ahh, that explains it.

You can always tell the forumites who have no soul.

The Funk is not strong with this one. May the Funk be with you.

Active basses sound like poppy, honky midrangey garbage. So do passive basses with roundwounds on them.

 

[bsman]

All your bass are belong to us...

 

[Flatspotter]

Active basses are more fun to catch. They put up a good fight.

 

[Mark Wein]

Tools are tools.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Tools are tools.

And sometimes are played by tools.
