Help! Passive Electronics Sterlings

[Frantic Slayer]

any bad technique moves become really obvious with active electronics. Ergo, I believe my active basses have forced me to be a better player.

i didnt know that. i started on active, sounds good to me

I should have caveated "IMHO" but I'll say that most other folks I know have a similar experience. Seems to be because the mids (which can be scooped out of course) come through so much better with active. Particularly noticeable on the Bongo. Seemed like I could be a good deal sloppier on the old passive instruments I've owned.
