Fender Active Deluxe Bass? Help

[dmc777]

I can purchase this bass for 350 shipping and all. The bass is in mint condition and never gigged. Is this a good deal? What are active pickups? thanks for the help

Active pickups run on a battery. It's kind of like comparing an electromagnet to whatever is stuck to you're fridge.

If you're looking for a nice fat jazz sound, that bass will certainly do the trick.
