There are several other negative reviews regarding this passive mode issue for this Cort bass. You are stuck with it if I'm not willing to pay for return shipping back to Thomann, nothing more we can do. Thomann is not willing to fully back products they sell as advertised if they say it does something, then find out it does not truly do something, then just say, too bad. Thomann said they will only refund the purchase price but not shipping costs to return the bass. In the 18 years of playing basses, active, passive or active/ passive basses, I have never seen or heard of a passive bass that requires a battery to function at all. B-Stock, Cort Rithimic Jeff Berlin 4, alder body, spalted maple/padouk top, bolt on maple neck, ebony fretboard with 305 mm radius, 22 frets, 864 mm s. Why advertise this inaccurate deceiving website description.
I contacted Thomann after, and now they are saying they would not pay for return shipping due to manufacturers details about the bass. And, just like I said, they confirmed a battery is needed to work in either mode, saying the active mode is bypassed in passive mode, but still needs a battery for the bass to function. They said they needed to contact the Cort manufacturer before making any decisions on what steps to take next. I paid for shipping to me (I live in the United States). I felt I was mislead to buy something they described that I truly I did not receive. I contacted Thomann through several emails and several phone calls regarding this issue and asked to return for a refund and that I should not have to pay for return shipping. I found no distinctive sound difference in sound in either mode, so called active/ passive mode. This is one of the main reasons for purchasing this bass, to have that passive security, back up if you will, in case your battery dies and of course, to give you an added classic tone in passive mode. This bass is described on this Thomann site as an active / passive bass and no where does it say, battery required in PASSIVE to function.
If the 9 volt battery is removed or dies on you mid performance or mid recording, the bass does not not work at all if you switch the toggle to passive mode.
This bass requires a battery in passive mode for it to work.

Do not buy if you want a true active and MORE INPORTANT passive bass for the Cort A4 Plus bass.
