Active Bass?
Can anyone explain what is an active Bass?
So Bassm99, we have all gone through our fair share of batteries over the years! 
I take it your Aria is the same Bass as played by a certain Mr John Taylor during the early 80's?

You are correct Softcell62. I purchased my Aria back in the late 80's because I was inspired by John Taylor & the bonus was that the Aria looks really good as well as sounding brilliant.
I am very lucky Duran Duran Fan, I have had this bass since the late 80's. In the past I have gone through my JT poses privately, never in public. Sadly I don't play as well as JT, no where near, but I have fun trying.
