I'm curious what experience and choices other players have made who converted their active basses to passive. I know that EMG JVX is a nice option (even if it still requires a battery). The Bassline pickups on the Squier Jaguar also sound good to me.

So sound off about your experiences, players.

The only passive EMG is the HZ, if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't convert active to passive. The other way around I would. But, I do like active pups. Some of the passive pups to me do sound good tho - 1/4s, some Fender pups - not a fan of the SCN tho :(

depends on what you're playin mate...
for me I always love a good vintage 60's jazz sound... so fender originals or Aguilar AG 4J-60 work for me... i try to stay away most on dizzies, dimarzios and duncans
