Both
Mostly active but have both
Active
Active Pickups
Active for metal
Depends on what you play, really
Choose the one YOU like and that's the best.
Both has their own goods/bads, I prefer passives for my music.
lol active
actives sound like SHIIIIITTTT
Passive pickups have much bigger tonal range. It is more sensitive. It even depends on if you pick hardly or softly. I put a boost pedal and a noise gate on my signal chain, so it has higher output and less feedback.
both are great, and if i had a rack of guitars, i wouldnt want all of them to be passive or active, when i want something bright ill go active, if feel like i want a darker sound, ill go passive.
They both sound great depending on what tone you're after. I personlly perfer active tone for the heaviest playing styles, but for power metal and the more melodic generes passives rule it.
I think they both sound nice
I love my EMG 808s
it really depends on the type of sound you plan to acheive
ACTIVE for life
Active!
Depends on what is being played.
