Passive and Active

iv never really known the major difference between passive pickups and active pickups. Anyone care to shed some light.

Active pickups have more controll over the sound and require a battery, they will have added bass/treble/middle controls aswell as idividual pickup controlls. Passive do not need a battery and normally only have pickup controlls and normally a overall tone one. So with an active pickups you will have more controll over the sound. Im sure others can expand but thats it bassically

cheers dude. you cleared that up really well.
