Re: pickups ACTV2 & PASV4
The difference between the two pickups, the ACTv2 and the PASv4 is that the
"ACTv2 stands for active and you will need a battery and "PAS" stands for passive,
and needs no battery
.
Also with those two pickups you get various tone controls.
Is the PASv4 better for the extra money? Well there is something about the sound
that is different and good imo but I prefer the ACTv2 because of the simplicity;
what you get is a volume and a tone control for each side, bass and melody
similar to an electric guitar X 2
.
The real consideration is if you are thinking about the "Stickup" as well is
with that pickup (volume controls only) you may want to get some sort of preamp.
I say "may" because with modern amplifiers and effects processors you probably
can adjust your sound to your liking without a preamp
. Or simply, if you just plug in your Stick w/ a Stickup into you amp it will work just fine.
The Stickup should really be on the list though if the sound of the bass is what
attracted you to the Stick
