Members hi.flyer Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 I never see 'em. Even the budget models like Rogue or the ones from Rondo have (I assume crappy) preamps/active electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 I can't think of a time I have ever seen one. Once you get into 6 strings I guess the expectation is there that a certain type of player will be using it, and thus, needs a preamp with that.

Members Last in Line Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 peavey grinds? I actually kinda liked the peavey grind 6 sting, and it's really cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Real MC Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 My Alvarez six shooter is 100% passive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Unknown Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 peavey grinds? You beat me to it... I also kinda like them when I tried one or two a few years ago. I picked one up lately though and the quality seemed to have dropped or I was just unlucky and came across one that slipped through the QC.

Members HORSE Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 Mine has an active/passive switch (it was a mod though). I usually run it in passive, although the output is fairly low then. Ibanez BTB1206 Prestige: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
