Usually these are found on bass amps, but I'm assuming if you were using passive pickups that were connected to an active circuit, you'd still go into the active input, correct?
A while back I bought a small bass amp from a co-worker and it has both active and passive inputs, and I was using a bass that had passive pickups but an on-board in-line circuit (Jackson JE1500 bass EQ thingy - the pickups are wired to the pots on the board, and the output to the jack comes from the board).
I started to plug the bass in but found myself going back and forth for about a minute trying to decide which input to use
However, I'm also inclined to think this sort of system is different from an actual active pickup, where the pickup has a preamp built into it.
