I picked up a little used, very clean Kala UBass spruce top. It felt good and played beautifully when the owner played it. I am brand new to all this and have been reading long threads here an in Talk Bass.
When I got home I realized that it does not have the electronics package with the tuner and the EQ stuff. It does have a rod in the neck and supposedly is 4 years old.
From all my reading I do not understand what I now have with regards to the electronics. Do I have what is called a "passive pickup"? I do not see a battery anywhere.
Will this determine what kind of amp I should get? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your help.
