I like both as long as the layout is simple and I like the sound I am happy - my new(ish) Groove is active but my Warwick Streamer Std 2 is passive and did me proud for 6 years.

If you are going to have one make it active!!

Active every time......

I'd say active *generally*, though I do miss having the option to go passive on the Kingbass (as opposed to S2000)
If and when I get round to ordering a lubley new S2 from Rob I'll definatly want to get the option included if possible.

Tough question (and an easy summer poll) for a Status player, but it would be interesting to see the response as many members have other basses they use regularly.

Electronics: Do you prefer ...

Active electronics
Passive electronics
None! ;)

Let's debate!
