Active, that's why there is a battery compartment on the back.

*actives have less hum which to an unexperienced player they wont hear it *active pickups are easier to swap, unplug the pickup, put the other in sort of like a video game controller... no wire soldering skills required. *there are 100s of passive pickups and only few actives pros use *passive pickups are cheaper *passive require no batteries like actives *passive pickups are cheaper to swap out (less work required is the reason) *passive pickups don't sound as sterile as say EMG pickups , blackouts are more real sounding though. to reduce hum look into pickup covers and copper shielding tape

No, the Dimarzio Super Distortion is a passive pickups, which means it does not need batteries. Active pickups, such as EMGs and Seymour Duncan Blackouts do require batteries. Passive pickups get all their sound from the magnets and the coil windings. Active pickups get their sound from that as well but they have a preamp ( a set eq ) which requires power from a battery.
humbucker (big ones like on les pauls) single coil two types of pickups as in "class" are passive and active
Most metal musicians like, say Metallica use an active pickup. eg.( the EMG 81/85 )
no but the phat bass boost won't work. that is the active part. the pickups are passive and don't need a battery
They use the piezo electric effect of certain crystals to capture the sound waves and resonance of the instrument.
It varies on the kind of pickups you're putting in. If they're passive, meaning that they don't require batteries, then it will be cheaper. Active pickup installation can go as high as 80$.
