Hi, I have a MIM Deluxe Active JB and am very happy with the wide sound range I get. I'd like to compare the sound with a passive JB, but don't have access to one.

Is there a way I can set my controls to sound like a passive bass. Is this possible? My first thought, of course, is to set my 3 tone knobs to flat/middle? Remove battery? Thanks.

Deluxe active Jazz won't work without a battery. You can add an active passive blade switch but in the only arrangement I know that works the pickups are on full blast with no tone control at all. I don't recommend it.

Unless you upgrade that bass with the "new" USA Deluxe electronics and stick a set of Super 55 Split-Coil Jazz Bass pickups on it.
