I bet this sounds great! Are the pickups passive?

I still dont know how he sounds, only that everything works fine. it came today and I just tested it with a small guit-amp and now its parted for cleaning and polishing. sorry for these bad pics. the fotos dont match neither the beautiful color nor the awsome birdseye-maple finish. could you send me the details of that rb850? I would like to know the specs. what pus are used here? tks + greets maggy Ibnzplyr Username: Ibnzplyr Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Monday, January 23, 2006 - 10:49 pm:    Hello Maggy: You deserve the compliment a thousand times over-- you are an awesome vocalist! I bet you are no slouch on the guitar and bass, too. You know, when I double checked the net about the RB850, some sites say it has active pickups. I looked further. It looks like yours has two "J6" or "Super J6" pickups. Take a look at this link to an 1983/84 catalog. I don't see your exact model, but I would guess you've got a 900 series bass. I would love to have one. http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/1983_84/index.htm Take care-- Scott Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Monday, January 23, 2006 - 11:59 pm:    1984 Roadstar Deluxe Series, model RB950MS (Marine Sunburst) The knobs have been changed. Should be SureGrip II. Steve Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 12:06 am:    Oops! Correction, should be Tek Grip knobs. Body is Bird's-eye Maple and Basswood. Neck is 3-ply Maple. Fretboard is Rosewood. Super J pickups.

Ibelieve the colour is wine. /image{RB950} Walt Username: Walt Registered: 04-2006 Posted on Sunday, April 09, 2006 - 12:23 am:    Let's try this again (Newby to this forum):
