It's wrong. Jackson never made active pickups. There's some kind of circuit board in your guitar that the battery will be hooked up to in order to work with the pickups.

Technically no pickup is active. Even EMG's are passive pickups with an onboard amplifier encased inside the pickup cover.Comment

Passive pick ups with an active circuit board attached to the vol pot.
A normal Jackson set up so whoever says otherwise is wrong.The Charvel ads say with active mid boost nowhere does it say active pick ups.
The knowledge on this board is second to none trust me.Really? well screw Mark Twain.Comment

Actually stray, look at the link he put up. It says "this guitar uses the same active pickups and circuitry as the Classic series 475 Special Model." It's wrong like TJ said, but it does say it.. Strange.
Oh, and yes, I believe that is the score of the century.. as soon as you do something with the nutty high JT590!!Every man dies... Not every man really lives!!Comment

Either way, when you connect passive pickups to an active circuit or use "active" pickups, you get a low impedence signal.-------------------------

hell of a find!!
and technically the wires that run from from the pickup base are the "pickup" leads therefore making all infront of it as the pickup. as where a circuit board leads are considered just that. so there are such things as active pickups.

There are garage sailors but you're the goddamn Admiral of Garage Sailing. Every garage sale I go to has an excercise bike, paperback books, & fish tank. That case alone is worth the price. Good snag! I think I paid 350 or 400 for my 650XL. By the time I was done upgrading it to my specs, it was a knockout:

I have been wondering, is that a rare color or just something that nobody wanted? With all the searching i did to figure out what it is and even after just looking for other pics and stuff i have only seen one other like it.Comment

I don't think it's a super-rare finish. I've seen at least two others in person. Although the last one (a 550XL) the clear had yellowed to the point that it look like a very pale yellow/green metallic finish instead
