J945 pickups output issue

[Amit Shtriker]

Thanks a lot Tim!
I am not that intimidated by electronics as you might think , I actually studied electronics in high school (even though I skipped a lot of classes so I could spend more time playing bass ).. I am sure this won't be a big of a deal for me

When you are in passive mode, the bass' active electronics/pre-amp are by-passed.

Of course, I asked that question because I was thinking that the active gain was normally adjusted to be close in level to the passive mode . And thanks for your recommendation on the taper cores, actually I am going to take the bass in for setup this sunday (first time in 4 years..), and even the coated Elixirs couldn't stand the wear of the last busy (and also fun) month.. Feel I need a change in brand, something fresh.. I hope the taper cores will feel smooth under my hands, it became an essential part of my playing in the last 2 years.

And thanks again, Chris, I will try both boosters on my trip ,after my bass is in a healthy condition.. And then see if I need one..
