It's a great bass and I absolutely love it but even as a passive only with a vintage '63 style pickup and vintage spec electronics it doesn't quite sound (or feel) like a vintage P. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing of course, just be aware that your not getting a straight P-bass (or in your case a J-bass) clone here.
Active pickups produce a higher output due to their inbuilt preamp. Active pickups start with a low output, then the preamp boosts the signal. This makes a louder pickup than most passive pickups. The preamp also slightly compresses the signal, which adds to the perceived loudness.

Active basses put the EQ knobs etc. right on the bass. This makes it handy to change tone while playing. How many controls are there depends on the bass. Active basses drive long cables better without losing signal or tone. Active basses often (but not always) have higher output which reduces hum pickup.
An active bass has either active pickups, or (more commonly nowadays) passive pickups and an active pre-amp. Some active basses have both. Whatever the style of “active” bass, its active electronics will use an onboard power supply (nearly always a battery) to produce a more powerful signal. This provides a clearer signal and also enables

Another thing is, The Fender Version has Active/Passive Switch, Bass Boost/Cut, and Treble Boost/cut, while Squier version lacks all of them. Both versions are Silverburst color with Pearloid Block Inlays, PJ pickups, one master volume, and active 3-band EQ. Jaguar Bass players
The combination of the bass you have, the strings you use, how you attack the strings, etc all play into things. Certain passive basses with stainless strings you'd think they were active. On the flip side, a set of dead rounds or flats on an active bass, and you'd probably think it was passive. Many things determine how a bass sounds.
The frontman and bass rule-breaker can often be seen putting this affordable Gretsch through its paces on stages around the world. With a basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, 30.3″ scale length and basic control layout, it's fair to say the G2220 is a simple affair, but that's part of the charm.

I say active with a passive bypass and passive tone pot is foolproof. dabbler, stingray69, Reggiep and 20 others like this. Nov 12, 2023 #2 jmattbassplaya Supporting Member Jan 13, 2008

A passive bass is an electronic bass that does not require batteries or external power sources. A bass is usually an active one because it has an preamp on board that requires power, typically from a 9 volt battery. When you hit the strings, the pickups’ magnetic fields are changed. As a result, the flow of power in the bass and amplifier

My Precision one such machine. It has a regular precision pickup, a regular volume control and a regular passive tone control - it behaves and sounds like a regular P Bass. But with the flip of a switch I can engage the active section with added bass and treble boost/cut. Why would anyone have to choose an active vs a passive bass?
