Passive playing

[Frederick Schurger]

One of my only pet peeves about active EQ is not quite knowing when the battery is on its last legs. I have another bass that has active EQ with no passive bypass, and without power, it's dead in the water. Sucks in the middle of a gig.

I did have a situation where the battery went dead in the middle of a gig (church service actually) where I was able to click it into passive, and back in the game. Pretty cool when you think about it. Found a battery, between the service and the concert that night, and none were the wiser.
